Technical Summary

   This document describes the support of Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF)
   Ethernet Traffic Parameters as described in MEF10.1 when using
   Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Resource
   ReSerVation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) signaling.

Working Group Summary

   Nothing to report.

Document Quality

   There are no known implementations, but it is expected that several
   vendors plan to implement.

Section 4.1
OLD
    The Flag 2 (CM) indicates whether the color-aware or color- 
    blind property is employed by the bandwidth profile. When Flag  
    2 is set to value 0 (1), the bandwidth profile algorithm is  
    said to be in color blind (color aware) mode.

    blind property [MEF10.2] is employed by the bandwidth profile.
    When Flag 2 is set to value 0 (1), the bandwidth profile
    algorithm is said to be in color blind (color aware) mode.
