The IESG has received a request from the Common Control and Measurement Plane WG (ccamp) to consider the following document: - 'ASON Routing for OSPFv2 Protocols' <draft-ietf-ccamp-rfc5787bis-05.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-08-17. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. This is a four- week last call period because it spans the IETF-84 meeting. Abstract The ITU-T has defined an architecture and requirements for operating an Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON). The Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) protocol suite is designed to provide a control plane for a range of network technologies including optical networks such as time division multiplexing (TDM) networks including SONET/SDH and Optical Transport Networks (OTNs), and lambda switching optical networks. The requirements for GMPLS routing to satisfy the requirements of ASON routing, and an evaluation of existing GMPLS routing protocols are provided in other documents. This document defines extensions to the OSPFv2 Link State Routing Protocol to meet the requirements for routing in an ASON. Note that this work is scoped to the requirements and evaluation expressed in RFC 4258 and RFC 4652 and the ITU-T Recommendations current when those documents were written. Future extensions of revisions of this work may be necessary if the ITU-T Recommendations are revised or if new requirements are introduced into a revision of RFC 4258. This document obsoletes RFC 5787 and updates RFC 5786. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-rfc5787bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-rfc5787bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
