The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Link Management Protocol Behavior Negotiation and Configuration Modifications' (draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-behavior-negotiation-11.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Stewart Bryant. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-behavior-negotiation/ Technical Summary The Link Management Protocol (LMP) is used to coordinate the properties, use, and faults of data links in Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS)-controlled 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. Working Group Summary: No concerns, the document had good support. Document Quality: There have been no public statements related to implementations, though significant interest was expressed by the working group to progress this extension of the LMP protocol in support of future extensions. Personnel: Deborah Brungard (db3546@att.com) is the Document Shepherd. Adrian Farrel (adrian@olddog.co.uk) is the Responsible Area Director.
