The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Generalized Labels for the Flexi-Grid in Lambda Switch Capable (LSC) Label Switching Routers' (draft-ietf-ccamp-flexigrid-lambda-label-05.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-flexigrid-lambda-label/ Technical Summary GMPLS supports the description of optical switching by identifying entries in fixed lists of switchable wavelengths (called grids) through the encoding of lambda labels. Work within the ITU-T Study Group 15 has defined a finer granularity grid, and the facility to flexibly select different widths of spectrum from the grid. This document defines a new GMPLS lambda label format to support this flexi-grid. This document updates RFC 3471 and RFC 6205 by introducing a new label format. Working Group Summary There were no problems with consensus for this document. Document Quality The work has had contributions from a large group of people, the draft is pretty simple, clear and based on RFC6205. Additionally, the work has had external review form the IDEALIST EU project that is doing multiple inter-operating implementations of a GMPLS control plane for flexi-grid.
