The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Evaluation of existing GMPLS encoding against G.709v3 Optical Transport Networks (OTN)' (draft-ietf-ccamp-otn-g709-info-model-13.txt) as Informational RFC 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-otn-g709-info-model/ Technical Summary This document provides an evaluation of exiting GMPLS signaling and routing protocols against Optical Transport Networks (OTN) specified in ITU-T Recommendation G.709 as published in 2012. A previous version of G.709 was supported by GMPLS signaling per RFC4328. This document is one of four informational and standards track documents going through the publication process as a set. Reviewers of this document are particularly advised to look at draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-g709-framework as well. Working Group Summary Nothing of note for this document. Document Quality This document provides background and an approach to extending exiting RFCs for which there are implementations, but does not itself define any protocol mechanisms. The existing RFCs include RFC3471, RFC3473, RFC4202, RFC4203, RFC4204, RFC4328, RFC4655. Personnel Lou Berger is the Document Shepherd? Adrian Farrel is the Responsible Area Director?
