A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7709 Title: Requirements for Very Fast Setup of GMPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Author: A. Malis, Ed., B. Wilson, G. Clapp, V. Shukla Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: November 2015 Mailbox: agmalis@gmail.com, bwilson@appcomsci.com, clapp@research.att.com, vishnu.shukla@verizon.com Pages: 9 Characters: 20022 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-teas-fast-lsps-requirements-02.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7709 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7709 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). This document is a product of the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
