The IESG has approved the following document: - 'GMPLS RSVP-TE Extensions for Ethernet OAM Configuration' (draft-ietf-ccamp-rsvp-te-eth-oam-ext-13.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Alia Atlas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-rsvp-te-eth-oam-ext/ Technical Summary The GMPLS controlled Ethernet Label Switching (GELS) work extended GMPLS RSVP-TE to support the establishment of Ethernet LSPs. IEEE Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) specifies an adjunct OAM flow to check connectivity in Ethernet networks. CFM can be also used with Ethernet LSPs for fault detection and triggering recovery mechanisms. The ITU-T Y.1731 specification builds on CFM and specifies additional OAM mechanisms, including Performance Monitoring, for Ethernet networks. This document specifies extensions of GMPLS RSVP-TE protocol to support the setup of the associated Ethernet OAM entities of Ethernet LSPs, and defines the Ethernet technology specific TLVs based on the GMPLS OAM Configuration Framework. This document supports, but does not modify, the IEEE and ITU-T OAM mechanisms. Working Group Summary No issues. Good support by the Working Group. Document Quality There have been no public statements of implementation, though significant interest was expressed by the Working Group. Further research indicted that there had been two prototypes done in vendor labs based on earlier versions of the I-D. Personnel Deborah Brungard is the Document Shepherd. Adrian Farrel is the Area Director.
