Status

• First revision of this draft
• The media specific information extracted from
  RFC3292 (GSMPv3 Specification) is put into this
  draft
• Support for L2 Capable and Packet Capable
  switches
• The document will be one of three media specific
  documents
• Most of the content is there but some is
  redundant
• The intention is trying to make smallest impact
  to implementations supporting RFC3292

Main issues

• Content that is common for other technologies as
  well (e.g. Optical) should be moved to the Base
  specification
• Need to restructure the Failure response ranges
  for the different media types.
• Definition of stacked labels belongs to the Base
  specification

Scope (1)

• L2 and Packet media bundled together
• Got consensus to couple the two media at Atlanta
  meeting
• Messages and Types belonging to this draft
• Labels types and Label Range messages
• ATM, Frame Relay, MPLS Generic, FEC Labels
• ATM specific procedures related to Connection
  Management
• Add Branch, Move Output Branch and Move Input
  Branch messages
• Port Configuration messages
• Port Type Specific data for ATM, Frame Relay,
  MPLS Generic and FECs

5
Scope (2)

• Statistics
• ATM Specific Report Connection State Procedure
• Service Definitions
• ATM Forum, Int-serv, CR-LDP andFrame Relay
  Services
• Format and encoding of the Traffic Parameters
• Traffic Parameters for ATM Forum, Int-Serv (CL),
  CR-LDP and Frame Relay Services
• Traffic Controls (TC) Flags
• Failure Response Codes
• Description of Failure and Warning Response
  Messages for the related media types

What next?

• Need to coordinate with the authors of
  draft-ietf-gsmp-v3-spec-01 to remove redundant
  content
• A new version of the draft reflecting these
  changes will be submitted shortly after this IETF
• Please read the draft and comment on the list
