Papadimitriou, JL. Le Roux, M. Vigoureux, D. Brungard Status: Informational Date: July 2008 Mailbox: shiomoto.kohei@lab.ntt.co.jp, dimitri.papadimitriou@alcatel-lucent.be, jeanlouis.leroux@orange-ftgroup.com, martin.vigoureux@alcatel-lucent.fr, dbrungard@att.com Pages: 28 Characters: 70286 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-mln-reqs-11.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5212.txt Most of the initial efforts to utilize Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) have been related to environments hosting devices with a single switching capability. The complexity raised by the control of such data planes is similar to that seen in classical IP/MPLS networks. By extending MPLS to support multiple switching technologies, GMPLS provides a comprehensive framework for the control of a multi-layered network of either a single switching technology or multiple switching technologies. In GMPLS, a switching technology domain defines a region, and a network of multiple switching types is referred to in this document as a multi-region network (MRN). When referring in general to a layered network, which may consist of either single or multiple regions, this document uses the term multi-layer network (MLN). This document defines a framework for GMPLS based multi-region / multi-layer networks and lists a set of functional requirements. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
