Summary:
        This document describes a generic intra-domain control plane
architecture that can 
        be applied to different circuit switching technologies. This memo
includes generic 
        procedures, key concepts, and technical considerations for the common
control                 plane architecture.

Where Does it Fit in the Picture of the Sub-IP Work
        CCAMP

Why is it targeted at this WG
         This document is intended to accentuate understanding of the
application domains 
         and requirement, create architectural alignment, and serve as guide for
the common 
         control plane protocol engineering. It was initially submitted to IPO
WG in IETF 49. 
         As it fits better to CCAMP WG charter, it was resubmitted to CCAMP WG
in IETF 50.

         Authors from the other architecture document think that this document
contains 
         elements for requirements, framework and architecture. They recommended
merging 
         the architecture portion with their document and using this document as
a base for 
         requirement and framework document. We agreed.

Justification
        We believe that a common understanding of requirements, operation and
assumptions of 
        the layer 1 transport network are critical to CCAMP and GMPLS in order
to achieve 
        the real "C" and "G".  Since this draft is co-authored with many service
providers, we 
        think it should be adapted as WG document for GMPLS requirement and
framework.

        We will work with authors of the other architecture draft, reformat this
draft and 
        resubmit it as a requirement and framework document.
