This document is the product of the IS-IS for IP Internets Working Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Alex Zinin and Bill Fenner.

Technical Summary

 support GMPLS.  
 
Working Group Summary
 
 The document has been extensively discussed in and reviewed by the WG.
 The WG had consensus on progressing the spec.
 
Protocol Quality
 
 The document has been reviewed for the IESG by Alex Zinin.

RFC Editor Note:

Section 5. "Security Considerations"

OLD:

   This document specifies the contents of GMPLS TE TLVs in ISIS.  As
   these TLVs are not used for SPF computation or normal routing, the
   extensions specified here have no direct effect on IP routing.
   Tampering with GMPLS TE TLVs may have an effect on the underlying
   transport (optical and/or SONET-SDH) network.  Mechanisms to secure
   ISIS Link State PDUs and/or the TE TLVs can be used to secure the
   GMPLS TE TLVs as well.
