General Network Element Constraint Encoding
for GMPLS-Controlled Networks
Abstract
Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) can be used to
control a wide variety of technologies. In some of these
technologies, network elements and links may impose additional
routing constraints such as asymmetric switch connectivity, non-local
label assignment, and label range limitations on links.
This document provides efficient, protocol-agnostic encodings for
general information elements representing connectivity and label
constraints as well as label availability. It is intended that
protocol-specific documents will reference this memo to describe how
information is carried for specific uses.
Status of This Memo
