This document provides an analysis grid to evaluate, compare, and
contrast the Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)
protocol suite capabilities with the recovery mechanisms currently
proposed at the IETF CCAMP Working Group.  A detailed analysis of each
of the recovery phases is provided using the terminology defined in
RFC 4427.  This document focuses on transport plane survivability and
recovery issues and not on control plane resilience and related
aspects.  This memo provides information for the Internet community.

This document is a product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane
Working Group of the IETF.
