The IESG has received a request from the Common Control and Measurement Plane WG (ccamp) to consider the following document: - 'Link Management Protocol Behavior Negotiation and Configuration Modifications' <draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-behavior-negotiation-09.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 2013-01-21. 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 Link Management Protocol (LMP) is used to coordinate the properties, use, and faults of data links in Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks. This document defines an extension to LMP to negotiate capabilities and indicate support for LMP extensions. The defined extension is compatible with non-supporting implementations. This document updates RFC 4204, RFC 4207, RFC 4209 and RFC 5818. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-behavior-negotiation/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-behavior-negotiation/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
