Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Support for Metro Ethernet Forum
and G.8011 Ethernet Service Switching
Abstract
This document describes a method for controlling two specific types
of Ethernet switching via Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching
(GMPLS). This document supports the types of switching corresponding
to the Ethernet services that have been defined in the context of the
Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) and International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) G.8011. Specifically, switching in support of Ethernet private
line and Ethernet virtual private line services are covered. Support
for MEF- and ITU-defined parameters is also covered.
