Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching Control of Ethernet Provider Backbone Traffic Engineering
RFC 6060, “Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching Control of Ethernet Provider Backbone Traffic Engineering”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2011 by D. Fedyk, H. Shah, N. Bitar, A. Takacs. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification is complementary to the GMPLS Ethernet Label Switching Architecture and Framework and describes the technology-specific aspects of GMPLS control for Provider Backbone Bridge Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE). The necessary GMPLS extensions and mechanisms are described to establish Ethernet PBB-TE point-to-point (P2P) and point-to-multipoint (P2MP) connections. This document supports, but does not modify, the standard IEEE data plane. [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.
