The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Thesaurus for the Terminology used in Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) drafts/RFCs and ITU-T's Transport Network Recommendations.' (draft-ietf-mpls-tp-rosetta-stone-13.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching 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-mpls-tp-rosetta-stone/ Technical Summary MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is based on a profile of the MPLS and Pseudowire (PW) procedures as specified in the MPLS-TE, PW and Multi-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) architectures developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The International Telecommunications Union Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T) has specified a Transport Network architecture. This document provides a thesaurus for the interpretation of MPLS-TP terminology within the context of the ITU-T Transport Network Recommendations. It is important to note that MPLS-TP is applicable in a wider set of contexts than just Transport Networks. The definitions presented in this document do not provide exclusive nor complete interpretations of MPLS-TP concepts. This document simply allows the MPLS-TP terms to be applied within the Transport Network context. Working Group Summary There was broad support and strong consensus for this document, which is a valuable aid to understand the MPLS-TP work for people from both MPLS/IETF and ITU-T backgrounds. Document Quality This document has received wide review both in the IETF MPLS WG and also in the ITU-T. A number of small nits were found and fixed during IETF last call. Personnel Ross Callon (rcallon@juniper.net) is the document shepherd. Adrian Farrel (Adrian@olddog.co.uk) is the responsible AD.
