Technical Summary
The GMPLS controlled Ethernet Label Switching (GELS) work extended
GMPLS RSVP-TE to support the establishment of Ethernet LSPs. IEEE
Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) specifies an adjunct OAM
flow to check connectivity in Ethernet networks. CFM can be also
used with Ethernet LSPs for fault detection and triggering recovery
mechanisms. The ITU-T Y.1731 specification builds on CFM and
specifies additional OAM mechanisms, including Performance
Monitoring, for Ethernet networks. This document specifies
extensions of GMPLS RSVP-TE protocol to support the setup of the
associated Ethernet OAM entities of Ethernet LSPs, and defines the
Ethernet technology specific TLVs based on the GMPLS OAM
Configuration Framework. This document supports, but does not
modify, the IEEE and ITU-T OAM mechanisms.
Working Group Summary
No issues. Good support by the Working Group.
Document Quality
There have been no public statements of implementation, though
significant interest was expressed by the Working Group.
Further research indicted that there had been two prototypes done
in vendor labs based on earlier versions of the I-D.
Personnel
Deborah Brungard is the Document Shepherd.
Adrian Farrel is the Area Director.
