GMPLS [2] is being considered as an extension to the MPLS framework
to include optical, non-packet switched technologies. This draft
reviews the motivation for doing so from an end-user�s perspective
and points out some key requirements/impacts that this will have on
the extensions to the routing and label distribution/signaling
protocols.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
