Ethernet Traffic Parameters with Availability Information
RFC 8625, “Ethernet Traffic Parameters with Availability Information”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2019 by H. Long, M. Ye, G. Mirsky, A. D'Alessandro, H. Shah. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
A packet-switching network may contain links with variable bandwidths (e.g., copper and radio). The bandwidth of such links is sensitive to the external environment (e.g., climate). Availability is typically used to describe these links when doing network planning. This document introduces an optional Bandwidth Availability TLV in RSVP-TE signaling. This extension can be used to set up a GMPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) in conjunction with the Ethernet SENDER_TSPEC object.
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.
