The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Domain Subobjects for Resource ReserVation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE)' (draft-ietf-teas-rsvp-te-domain-subobjects-05.txt) as Experimental 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-rsvp-te-domain-subobjects/ Technical Summary The Resource ReserVation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) specification and the Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) extensions to RSVP-TE allow abstract nodes and resources to be explicitly included in a path setup. Further Exclude Routes extensions to RSVP-TE allow abstract nodes and resources to be explicitly excluded in a path setup. This document specifies new subobjects to include or exclude domain during path setup where domain is a collection of network elements within a common sphere of address management or path computational responsibility (such as an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) area or an Autonomous System (AS)). This is a companion document to Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) extensions for the domain sequence [PCE-DOMAIN] (http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-pce-pcep-domain-sequence/). 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 (G)MPLS RSVP protocol has been implemented. The extensions defined in this document are compatible with earlier implementations. There have been no public statements on implementation. Three of the four authors are from the same vendor organization while the fourth is from a research institute â?? implementation for experimental purposes is expected.
