This document describes requirements for, and the use of, the
Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control plane in
support of the Virtual Concatenation (VCAT) layer 1 inverse
multiplexing data plane mechanism and its companion Link Capacity
Adjustment Scheme (LCAS). LCAS can be used for hitless dynamic
resizing of the inverse multiplex group. These techniques apply to
Optical Transport Network (OTN), Synchronous Optical Network
(SONET), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), and Plesiochronous
Digital Hierarchy (PDH) signals. This document updates RFC 4606 by
making modifications to the procedures for supporting virtual
concatenation. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
