The IESG has received a request from the Common Control and Measurement
Plane WG (ccamp) to consider the following document:
- 'ASON Routing for OSPFv2 Protocols'
<draft-ietf-ccamp-rfc5787bis-05.txt> as Proposed Standard
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
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-08-17. 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. This is a four-
week last call period because it spans the IETF-84 meeting.
Abstract
The ITU-T has defined an architecture and requirements for operating
an Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON).
The Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) protocol suite
is designed to provide a control plane for a range of network
technologies including optical networks such as time division
multiplexing (TDM) networks including SONET/SDH and Optical Transport
Networks (OTNs), and lambda switching optical networks.
The requirements for GMPLS routing to satisfy the requirements of
ASON routing, and an evaluation of existing GMPLS routing protocols
are provided in other documents. This document defines extensions to
the OSPFv2 Link State Routing Protocol to meet the requirements for
routing in an ASON.
Note that this work is scoped to the requirements and evaluation
expressed in RFC 4258 and RFC 4652 and the ITU-T Recommendations
current when those documents were written. Future extensions of
revisions of this work may be necessary if the ITU-T Recommendations
are revised or if new requirements are introduced into a revision of
RFC 4258. This document obsoletes RFC 5787 and updates RFC 5786.
