Interworking Requirements to Support Operation of MPLS-TE over GMPLS Networks

Abstract

Interworking Requirements to Support Operation of MPLS-TE over GMPLS Networks Status of This MemoThis memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. AbstractOperation of a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) traffic engineering (TE) network as a client network to a Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) network has enhanced operational capabilities compared to those provided by a coexistent protocol model (i.e., operation of MPLS-TE over an independently managed transport layer).
