The IESG has received a request from the Traffic Engineering Architecture and
Signaling WG (teas) to consider the following document: - 'Interworking of
GMPLS Control and Centralized Controller Systems'
  <draft-ietf-teas-gmpls-controller-inter-work-14.txt> as Informational RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2024-06-26. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control allows
   each network element (NE) to perform local resource discovery,
   routing and signaling in a distributed manner.

   On the other hand, with the development of software-defined
   transport networking technology, a set of NEs can be controlled via
   centralized controller hierarchies to address the issues from multi-
   domain, multi-vendor, and multi-technology. An example of such
   centralized architecture is Abstraction and Control of Traffic
   Engineered Networks (ACTN) controller hierarchy described in RFC
   8453.

   Instead of competing with each other, both the distributed and the
   centralized control plane have their own advantages, and should be
   complementary in the system. This document describes how the GMPLS
   distributed control plane can interwork with a centralized
   controller system in a transport network.
