Summary for Sub-IP Area
SUMMARY:
This document presents a framework for the GMPLS control plane.
It studies the GMPLS control plane from three different perspectives:
functional partition, computational layering and network partition.
First, it studies the functional building blocks of a generic GMPLS
control plane and illustrates that, in order to be generalized for
different technologies and their specific application environment,
what each functional component could assume, what it "should"
(instead of "how") accomplish, what are the generic procedures
and possible options. Then, this document goes beyond the functional
partition and a single network. It illustrates the computational
network layering, network partitions and their implications to the
GMPLS control plane design, operations for the overall hybrid network.
It also covers issues associated with control plane interaction of
multiple networks, control plane integration and control plane
operation models.
This document focuses on different aspects of the GMPLS control
plane from what the requirement document and GMPLS architecture
document focused. It completes these drafts and other GMPLS
related works.

WHERE DOES IT FIT IN THE PICTURE OF THE SUB-IP WORK:
This work fits in the Control Plane of CCAMP
WHY IS IT TARGETED AT THIS WG:
GMPLS belongs to CCAMP. Because this document presents a framework
for GMPLS, it would be logical to target this document at the CCAMP WG.
JUSTIFICATION
CCAMP charter looks for a framework document. This document is a
revision of previous work that was considered as a good fit for GMPLS
framework. The document was written by a balanced group of authors from both
service providers and carriers. It completes the requirement and architecture
documents for GMPLS control plane and provides guidance to protocol designs.
So CCAMP should consider this WG.
