Generalized SCSI: A Generic Structure for Interface Switching Capability Descriptor (ISCD) Switching Capability Specific Information (SCSI)
draft-ietf-teas-gmpls-scsi-04
Technical Summary
This document defines a generic information structure for information
carried in routing protocol Interface Switching Capability Descriptor
(ISCD) Switching Capability Specific Information (SCSI) fields. This
"Generalized SCSI" can be used with routing protocols that define
GMPLS ISCDs, and any specific technology. This document does not
modify an existing technology specific formats and is defined for use
in conjunction with new GMPLS Switching Capability types.
Working Group Summary
This document was put together to address comments that were raised
during Gen-ART review for draft-ietf-ccamp-ospf-availability-extension.
This document has been fairly noncontroversial.
Document Quality
The base (G)MPLS routing protocols have been implemented. The generic
protocol format discussed in this document is compatible with earlier
implementations. The first document that would be using the format
defined in this document is draft-ietf-ccamp-ospf-availability-extension.
While there have been no public statements on implementation, the authors
of draft-ietf-ccamp-ospf-availability-extension are from multiple vendors,
and implementation is expected.
