Abstract:
   Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) defines an
   architectural framework and associated protocols to standardize
   information exchange between the control plane and the forwarding
   plane in a ForCES Network Element (ForCES NE).  RFC5812 has defined
   the ForCES Model that provides a formal way to represent the
   capabilities, state, and configuration of forwarding elements within
   the context of the ForCES protocol, so that control elements (CEs)
   can control the FEs accordingly.  More specifically, the model
   describes the logical functions that are present in a forwarding
   element (FE), what capabilities these functions support, and how
   these functions are or can be interconnected.

   RFC5812 has been around for two years and experience in its use has
   shown room for small extensions without a need to alter the protocol
   while retaining backward compatibility with older xml libraries.
   This document update RFC5812 and extends the model to allow complex
   datatypes for metadata, optional default values for datatypes,
   optional access types for structures and fixes an issue with LFB
   inheritance.  The document also introduces two new features a new
   event condition BecomesEqualTo and LFB properties.
