The IESG has received a request from the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling WG (teas) to consider the following document: - 'GMPLS RSVP-TE Extensions for Lock Instruct and Loopback' <draft-ietf-teas-rsvp-te-li-lb-03.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2015-02-18. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies extensions to Resource Reservation Protocol- Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) to support Lock Instruct (LI) and Loopback (LB) mechanisms for Label Switched Paths (LSPs). These mechanisms are applicable to technologies which use Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) as control plane.
