Generalized MPLS Support for Metro Ethernet Forum and G.8011 Ethernet Service Switching
RFC 6004, “Generalized MPLS Support for Metro Ethernet Forum and G.8011 Ethernet Service Switching”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2010 by L. Berger, D. Fedyk. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
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.
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.
