Hi PCE WG,
3)Treat this as an errata to RFC5440 ““The BANDWIDTH *of OT 1 and OT
2* object body have a fixed length of 4 bytes.”, and define new OT
for GMPLS
PCErs, all
Rather than "Errata" :) consider it a liberal interpretation, but I
guess this approach is a nice trade-off.
Maybe a solution could be to define Ctypes 3 and 4 which are like 1 and
2 but allowing TLVs (generically), then define a TLV to encode GMPLS
traffic parameters. The BW objects can have a 32 bit IEEE floating point
encoding of the nominal rate. Current implementations support 1 and 2
with fixed size. New Ctypes can be addressed with "unknown object
ctype", hopefully without strictly checking the object length.
Just my view, of course
R.
