The IESG has received a request from the Common Control and Measurement Plane WG (ccamp) to consider the following document: - 'RSVP Association Object Extensions' <draft-ietf-ccamp-assoc-ext-04.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 2012-08-29. 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. Abstract The RSVP ASSOCIATION object was defined in the context of GMPLS (Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching) controlled label switched paths (LSPs). In this context, the object is used to associate recovery LSPs with the LSP they are protecting. This object also has broader applicability as a mechanism to associate RSVP state, and this document defines how the ASSOCIATION object can be more generally applied. This document also defines Extended ASSOCIATION objects which, in particular, can be used in the context of the Transport Profile of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP). This document updates RFC 2205, RFC 3209, and RFC 3473. It also modifies the definition of the Association ID field defined in RFC 4872. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-assoc-ext/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-assoc-ext/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1720/ http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1169/
