I-D ACTION:draft-amenyo-consion-sigint-optnet-00.txt
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : ConSION: Control & Signaling Intelligence Overlay
Ntworks for Optical Networking
Author(s) : J. Amenyo
Filename : draft-amenyo-consion-sigint-optnet-00.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 16-Aug-01
When one extrapolates from the ongoing evolutionary trends of IP
router / switch development and its role in the build-out of optical
core, edge, access and enterprise networks, it is reasonable to
reach the almost inescapable conclusion that within a few years,
there will be a complete physical separation of the commercial
equipment embodying various concerns, aspects, roles and functions
of data communications, Namely,
1. Separate equipment for transport (transmission, switching and
multiplexing) and traffic forwarding.
2. Separate equipment concerned with control, signaling, traffic
engineering, provisioning, protection and restoration control, as
well as, traffic and flow management, (generalized 'softswitches').
3. Separate equipment for network management, operations support,
measurement & metering, OAMP, inter-OSS, engineering management
(including performance management, availability management, security
management, accounting management), as well as life cycle support.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-amenyo-consion-sigint-optnet-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
