The IESG has completed a review of draft-zulr-mpls-tp-linear-protection-switching-12 consistent with RFC5742. The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'Pre-standard Linear Protection Switching in MPLS-TP' <draft-zulr-mpls-tp-linear-protection-switching-12.txt> as an Informational RFC. The IESG has concluded that this work is related to IETF work done in the MPLS WG and PWE3 WG, but this relationship does not prevent publishing. The IESG requests that this document is not published as an RFC before draft-ietf-mpls-tp-psc-itu and draft-ietf-mpls-psc-updates which, along with RFC 6378 contain an IETF consensus approach to the same topic. The IESG would also like the RFC-Editor to review the comments in the datatracker related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the history log. The IESG review is documented at: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/conflict-review-zulr-mpls-tp-linear-protection-switching/ A URL of the reviewed Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-zulr-mpls-tp-linear-protection-switching/ The process for such documents is described at http://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html Thank you, The IESG Secretary
