There has been significant recent work in increasing the capabilities
of Ethernet switches and Ethernet forwarding models. As a
consequence, the role of Ethernet is rapidly expanding into
"transport networks" that previously were the domain of other
technologies such as SONET/SDH TDM and ATM. This document defines an
architecture and framework for a GMPLS based control plane for
Ethernet in this "transport network" capacity. GMPLS has already been
specified for similar technologies. Some additional extensions to the
GMPLS control plane are needed and this document provides a framework
for these extensions.Contents
