Forwarding and Control Element Separation Protocol Specification
RFC 5810, “Forwarding and Control Element Separation Protocol Specification”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2010 by A. Doria, J. Hadi Salim, R. Haas, H. Khosravi, W. Wang, L. Dong, R. Gopal, J. Halpern. It has since been updated by RFC 7121, RFC 7391. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) protocol. The ForCES protocol is used for communications between Control Elements (CEs) and Forwarding Elements (FEs) in a ForCES Network Element (ForCES NE). This specification is intended to meet the ForCES protocol requirements defined in RFC 3654. Besides the ForCES protocol, this specification also defines the requirements for the Transport Mapping Layer (TML). [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.
