A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6373 Title: MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Control Plane Framework Author: L. Andersson, Ed., L. Berger, Ed., L. Fang, Ed., N. Bitar, Ed., E. Gray, Ed. Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: September 2011 Mailbox: loa.andersson@ericsson.com, lberger@labn.net, lufang@cisco.com, nabil.n.bitar@verizon.com, Eric.Gray@Ericsson.com Pages: 57 Characters: 144259 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ccamp-mpls-tp-cp-framework-06.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6373.txt The MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) supports static provisioning of transport paths via a Network Management System (NMS) and dynamic provisioning of transport paths via a control plane. This document provides the framework for MPLS-TP dynamic provisioning and covers control-plane addressing, routing, path computation, signaling, traffic engineering, and path recovery. MPLS-TP uses GMPLS as the control plane for MPLS-TP Label Switched Paths (LSPs). MPLS-TP also uses the pseudowire (PW) control plane for pseudowires. Management-plane functions are out of scope of this document. This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) / International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS Transport Profile within the IETF MPLS and Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) architectures to support the capabilities and functionalities of a packet transport network as defined by the ITU-T. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
