Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document describes a method for controlling two specific types
   of Ethernet switching via a Generalized Multi-Protocol Label
   Switching (GMPLS) based User-Network Interface (UNI). This document
   supports the types of switching required by the Ethernet services
   that have been defined in the context of the Metro Ethernet Forum
   (MEF) and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) G.8011. This
   document is the UNI companion to "Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Support
   For Metro Ethernet Forum and G.8011 Ethernet Service Switching".
   This document does not define or limit the underlying intra-domain or
   Internal NNI (I-NNI) technology used to support the UNI.

Working Group Summary

   Nothing to report.

Document Quality

   There are no known implementations, but it is expected that several
   vendors plan to implement.

Personnel
