We would like to dedicate this work to our friend and colleague Dino
Bramanti, who passed away at the early age of 38.  Dino has been
involved in this work since its beginning.

In a transport network scenario, where Data Plane connections
controlled either by GMPLS Control Plane (Soft Permanent Connections
- SPC) or by Management System (Permanent Connections - PC) may
independently coexist, the ability of transforming an existing PC
into a SPC and vice versa - without actually affecting Data Plane
traffic being carried over it - is a requirement [RFC5493].

This memo provides a minor extension to RSVP-TE [RFC2205], [RFC3471],
[RFC3473], [RFC4872] signaling protocol, within GMPLS architecture,
to enable such connection ownership transfer and describes the
defined procedures.  Failure conditions and subsequent roll back are
also defined taking into account that an handover failure MUST NOT
impact the already established data plane connections.
