The IESG has approved publication of the following Internet-Drafts as Proposed Standards: o Generalized MPLS - Signaling Functional Description <draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-signaling-09.txt> o Generalized MPLS Signaling - CR-LDP Extensions' <draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-07.txt> o Generalized MPLS Signaling - RSVP-TE Extensions <draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-rsvp-te-09.txt> This document is the product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane (ccamp) Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen and Scott Bradner. Technical Summary Document 'Generalized MPLS - Signaling Functional Description' describes extensions to MPLS signaling required to support Generalized MPLS. Generalized MPLS extends the MPLS control plane to encompass time-division (e.g. SONET/SDH ADMs), wavelength (optical lambdas) and spatial switching (e.g. incoming port or fiber to outgoing port or fiber). This document presents a functional description of the extensions. Protocol specific formats and mechanisms, and technology specific details are specified in separate documents. Document 'Generalized MPLS Signaling - CR-LDP Extensions' describes extensions to CR-LDP signaling required to support Generalized MPLS. Document 'Generalized MPLS Signaling - RSVP-TE Extensions' describes extensions to RSVP-TE signaling required to support Generalized MPLS. Working Group Summary These documents originated in the MPLS WG. They were transfered to the CCAMP WG in early 2001. WG Last Call was posted to both WGs to ensure all involved people would review. Quite a number of itterations were needed before the WG could reach consensus on all the details. Finaly the WG reached (rough) consensus on these documents and no issues were raised during IETF Last Call. Protocol Quality The documents have been reviewed for the IESG by Alex Zinin and Bert Wijnen. Various implementations have been reported as documented in the survey document: draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-signaling-survey-02.txt
