This document updates RFC 4872 and RFC 4873 to provide the extensions to the
Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) signaling to support the
control of the Shared Mesh Protection (SMP) mechanism defined by ITU-T
Recommendation G.808.3. It describes in details the operation of SMP with GMPLS
Signaling Extension, the GMPLS Signaling Extension for SMP, and the updates to
PROTECTION Object.

I believe that the document is useful for operators runing GMPLS and SMP. The
signaling aspects seem to be well defined. However, the document misses
completly any operational and manageability considerations. Are they covered by
other documents? Are updates required for any GMPLS management RFCs? Are there
any configuration or alarms aspects that the operators should be aware about?
What is the operational impact of upgrading networks to run SMP? These are
parts of the questions I would expect to be addressed, or at least some
pointers provided to existing documents (IETF, ITU-T) or future work.

I would suggest that these issues be addressed before the document is approved
for publication.
