A Thesaurus for the Interpretation of Terminology Used in MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Internet-Drafts and RFCs in the Context of the ITU-T's Transport Network Recommendations
draft-ietf-mpls-tp-rosetta-stone-13
Technical Summary
MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is based on a profile of the MPLS
and Pseudowire (PW) procedures as specified in the MPLS-TE, PW and
Multi-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) architectures developed by the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The International
Telecommunications Union Telecommunications Standardization Sector
(ITU-T) has specified a Transport Network architecture.
This document provides a thesaurus for the interpretation of MPLS-TP
terminology within the context of the ITU-T Transport Network
Recommendations.
It is important to note that MPLS-TP is applicable in a wider set of
contexts than just Transport Networks. The definitions presented in
this document do not provide exclusive nor complete interpretations
of MPLS-TP concepts. This document simply allows the MPLS-TP terms
to be applied within the Transport Network context.
Working Group Summary
There was broad support and strong consensus for this document, which
is a valuable aid to understand the MPLS-TP work for people from both
MPLS/IETF and ITU-T backgrounds.
Document Quality
This document has received wide review both in the IETF MPLS WG and
also in the ITU-T. A number of small nits were found and fixed during IETF
last call.
