The emergence of transparent optical switches, together with a
movement towards more dynamic, multi-vendor networks, has introduced
a need for information sharing between optical line systems and
client devices. The information that needs to be shared includes
link status and link properties. We call this interface the Optical
Link Interface (OLI). In this document, we provide high-level
requirements for the OLI.

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.
