Link Management Protocol for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Optical Line Systems

Overview

RFC 4209, “Link Management Protocol for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Optical Line Systems”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2005 by A. Fredette, J. Lang. It has since been updated by RFC 6898. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Link Management Protocol (LMP) is defined to manage traffic engineering (TE) links. In its present form, LMP focuses on peer nodes, i.e., nodes that peer in signaling and/or routing. This document proposes extensions to LMP to allow it to be used between a peer node and an adjacent optical line system (OLS). These extensions are intended to satisfy the "Optical Link Interface Requirements" described in a companion document. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

What “Proposed Standard” means

An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
