With LCAS and VCAT, the transport layer is capable of not only
providing right-sized data pipes, but also elastic pipes. Fluid
transport pipes spur services like frame-relay transport (CIR, EIR)
and intelligent COS-aware protection. The popular protocol used to
convey control information in SONET networks is GMPLS. There are two
aspects of control mechanisms for a connection: call-control and
connection-control. Call-control is used to establish a signaling
association between two end-points, whereas connection-control is
used to setup and modify the attributes (e.g., bandwidth) of an
transport connection. This draft deals with signaling requirements
for connection-control of elastic pipes.

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
