The IESG has received a request from the Common Control and Measurement Plane WG (ccamp) to consider the following document: - 'Framework for GMPLS and PCE Control of G.709 Optical Transport Networks' <draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-g709-framework-14.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2013-09-02. 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 This document provides a framework to allow the development of protocol extensions to support Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) and Path Computation Element (PCE) control of Optical Transport Networks (OTN) as specified in ITU-T Recommendation G.709 as published in 2012.
