	Title		: Graceful Shutdown in GMPLS Traffic Engineering Networks

MPLS-TE Graceful shutdown is a method for explicitly notifying the 
   nodes in a TE network that the TE protocol on a link or on an entire 
   TE node is going to be disabled. MPLS-TE graceful shutdown mechanisms 
   are tailored towards addressing the planned outage in the network.  

   This document provides requirements and protocol mechanisms so as to 
   reduce/eliminate traffic disruption in the event of a planned 
   shutdown of a network resource. These operations are equally 
   applicable for both classical MPLS and its GMPLS extensions.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
