Technical Summary
The Link Management Protocol (LMP) is used to coordinate the
properties, use, and faults of data links in Generalized
Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS)-controlled networks. This
document defines an extension to LMP to negotiate capabilities and
indicate support for LMP extensions. The defined extension is
compatible with non-supporting implementations.
This document updates RFC 4204, RFC 4207, RFC 4209 and RFC 5818.
Working Group Summary:
No concerns, the document had good support.
Document Quality:
There have been no public statements related to implementations,
though significant interest was expressed by the working group to
progress this extension of the LMP protocol in support of future extensions.
Personnel:
Deborah Brungard (db3546@att.com) is the Document Shepherd.
Adrian Farrel (adrian@olddog.co.uk) is the Responsible Area Director.
