	Title           : Generalized Labels for Lambda-Switching Capable Label Switching Routers

Technology in the optical domain is constantly evolving and as a 
consequence new equipment providing lambda switching capability has 
been developed and is currently being deployed. However, [RFC3471] 
has defined that a wavelength label (section 3.2.1.1) "only has 
significance between two neighbors" and global wavelength continuity 
is not considered. In order to achieve interoperability in a network 
composed of next generation lambda switch-capable equipment, this 
document defines a standard lambda label format, being compliant 
with either [G.694.1](DWDM-grid) or [G.694.2](CWDM-grid). Moreover 
some consideration on how to ensure lambda continuity with RSVP-TE 
is provided. This document is a companion to the Generalized Multi-
Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) signaling. It defines the label 
format when Lambda Switching is requested in an all optical network.
