The IESG has received a request from the Common Control and Measurement Plane WG (ccamp) to consider the following document: - 'Routing and Wavelength Assignment Information Encoding for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks' <draft-ietf-ccamp-rwa-wson-encode-27.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 2015-02-19. 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 A wavelength switched optical network (WSON) requires that certain key information elements are made available to facilitate path computation and the establishment of label switching paths (LSPs). The information model described in "Routing and Wavelength Assignment Information for Wavelength Switched Optical Networks" shows what information is required at specific points in the WSON. Part of the WSON information model contains aspects that may be of general applicability to other technologies, while other parts are specific to WSONs. This document provides efficient, protocol-agnostic encodings for the WSON specific information elements. It is intended that protocol-specific documents will reference this memo to describe how information is carried for specific uses. Such encodings can be used to extend GMPLS signaling and routing protocols. In addition these encodings could be used by other mechanisms to convey this same information to a path computation element (PCE). The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-rwa-wson-encode/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-rwa-wson-encode/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
