Ethernet Traffic Parameters for Use in RSVP-TE Signaling

["Adrian Farrel" <adrian@olddog.co.uk>]

Hi Jim,

By way of input to your upcoming meeting in Vancouver, I would like to draw 
your member's attention to 
draft-ietf-ccamp-ethernet-traffic-parameters-00.txt. This document provides 
"MEF Ethernet Traffic Parameters" and is intended to meet the requirements 
of GMPLS and OIF UNI signaling of Ethernet LSP requests.

The Abstract reads as follows:

  This document described the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) - specific
  Ethernet Traffic Parameters as described in MEF.10 when using
  Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Resource
  ReSerVation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) signaling.

And the Introduction reads:

  Per [RFC3471], GMPLS allows the inclusion of technology specific
  parameters in signaling. Ethernet SENDER_TSPEC and FLOWSPEC specific
  objects are introduced in this document that describes Metro Ethernet
  Forum (MEF) Ethernet traffic parameters as specified in [MEF.10].

  These traffic parameters MUST be used when L2SC is specified in the
  LSP Switching Type field of a Generalized Label Request (see
  [RFC3471]) and the LSP encoding type is Ethernet.

The draft can be downloaded from 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ccamp-ethernet-traffic-parameters-00.txt

We would very much welcome the comments of your members which can be sent as 
individual contributions to the CCAMP mailing list, or as a more official 
OIF comment through the usual channels.

Best regards,
Adrian and Deborah
CCAMP WG Co-chairs
