      <abstract>
	 <t>   Recent progress in ITU-T Recommendation G.709 standardization has
   introduced new ODU containers (ODU0, ODU4, ODU2e and ODUflex) and
   enhanced Optical Transport Networking (OTN) flexibility. Several
   recent documents have proposed ways to modify GMPLS signaling
   protocols to support these new OTN features.

   It is important that a single solution is developed for use in GMPLS
   signaling and routing protocols. This solution must support ODUk
   multiplexing capabilities, address all of the new features, be
   acceptable to all equipment vendors, and be extensible considering
   continued OTN evolution.

   This document describes the extensions to the Generalized Multi-
   Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) signaling to control the evolving
   Optical Transport Networks (OTN) addressing ODUk multiplexing and new
   features including ODU0, ODU4, ODU2e and ODUflex.
