The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'A Thesaurus for the Terminology used in Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) drafts/RFCs and ITU-T's Transport Network Recommendations.' <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-rosetta-stone-12.txt> as Informational RFC
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2013-10-16. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract MPLS-TP is based on a profile of the MPLS and PW procedures as specified in the MPLS-TE and (MS-)PW architectures developed by the IETF. The ITU-T has specified a Transport Network architecture. This document provides a thesaurus for the interpretation of MPLS-TP terminology within the context of the ITU-T Transport Network recommendations. It is important to note that MPLS-TP is applicable in a wider set of contexts than just Transport Networks. The definitions presented in this document do not provide exclusive nor complete interpretations of MPLS-TP concepts. This document simply allows the MPLS-TP terms to be applied within the Transport Network context. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-rosetta-stone/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-rosetta-stone/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
