A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 3251 Title: Electricity over IP Author(s): B. Rajagopalan Status: Informational Date: 1 April 2002 Mailbox: braja@tellium.com Pages: 9 Characters: 18994 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-bala-mplamps-04.txt URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3251.txt Mostly Pointless Lamp Switching (MPLampS) is an architecture for carrying electricity over IP (with an MPLS control plane). According to our marketing department, MPLampS has the potential to dramatically lower the price, ease the distribution and usage, and improve the manageability of delivering electricity. This document is motivated by such work as SONET/SDH over IP/MPLS (with apologies to the authors). Readers of the previous work have been observed scratching their heads and muttering, "What next?". This document answers that question. This document has also been written as a public service. The "Sub-IP" area has been formed to give equal opportunity to those working on technologies outside of traditional IP networking to write complicated IETF documents. There are possibly many who are wondering how to exploit this opportunity and attain high visibility. Towards this goal, we see the topics of "foo-over-MPLS" (or MPLS control for random technologies) as highly amenable for producing a countless number of unimplementable documents. This document illustrates the key ingredients that go into producing any "foo-over-MPLS" document and may be used as a template for all such work.
