A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Extensions to RSVP for optical networking Author(s) : J. Lang, K. Mitra, J. Drake Filename : draft-lang-mpls-rsvp-oxc-00.txt Pages : 8 Date : 15-Mar-00 Dynamically provisionable optical crossconnects (OXCs) will play an active role in future optical networks and the MPL(ambda)S control plane will be used to establish, teardown, and reroute optical trails through the network. This document specifies extensions to RSVP to address some of the unique requirements of such optical trails. Specifically, we propose extensions to RSVP that allow an upstream node to make a Label suggestion to a downstream node when establishing an optical trail and allow both directions of a bi- directional optical trail to be established simultaneously. A new message type is also defined so that an RSVP node can notify (possibly non-adjacent) RSVP nodes when network failures occur, without affecting the RSVP states of intermediate RSVP nodes. Finally, we propose a modification to allow bundle messages to be sent to non-adjacent RSVP nodes.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-lang-mpls-rsvp-oxc-00.txt". 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 Internet-Draft.
