The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Requirements for Very Fast Setup of GMPLS LSPs' (draft-ietf-teas-fast-lsps-requirements-02.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling 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-teas-fast-lsps-requirements/ Technical Summary Establishment and control of Label Switch Paths (LSPs) have become mainstream tools of commercial and government network providers. One of the elements of further evolving such networks is scaling their performance in terms of LSP bandwidth and traffic loads, LSP intensity (e.g., rate of LSP creation, deletion, and modification), LSP set up delay, quality of service differentiation, and different levels of resilience. The goal of this document is to present target scaling objectives and the related protocol requirements for Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS). Working Group Summary This document moved from the CCAMP WG to TEAS WG as part of the routing WG changes. The progress of the draft through the WG (first CCAMP, then TEAS) has been smooth. Document Quality The base GMPLS signaling and routing protocols have been implemented. The requirements put forth in this document may be the basis for future documents, some of which may be simply informational, while others may describe specific GMPLS protocol extensions. While some of these requirements may be have implications on implementations, the intent is for the requirements to apply to GMPLS protocols and their standardized mechanisms.
