Generalized SCSI: A Generic Structure for Interface Switching Capability Descriptor Switching Capability Specific Information
RFC 8258, “Generalized SCSI: A Generic Structure for Interface Switching Capability Descriptor Switching Capability Specific Information”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2017 by D. Ceccarelli, L. Berger. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a generic information structure for information carried in routing protocol Interface Switching Capability Descriptor (ISCD) Switching Capability Specific Information (SCSI) fields. This "Generalized SCSI" can be used with routing protocols that define GMPLS ISCDs and any specific technology. This document does not modify any existing technology-specific formats and is defined for use in conjunction with new GMPLS Switching Capability types. The context for this document is Generalized MPLS, and the reader is expected to be familiar with the GMPLS architecture and associated protocol standards.
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.
