GSMPv3 Packet Capable Switch Support 56th IETF GSMP WG, San Francisco Kenneth Sundell

Status First revision of this draft The media specific information extracted from RFC3292 (GSMPv3 Specification) is put into this draft The document will be one of three media specific documents Support for L2 Capable and Packet Capable switches Most of the content is there but some is redundant to base spec draft 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 FEC’s

Scope (2) Statistics –ATM Specific Report Connection State Procedure Service Definitions ATM Forum, Int-serv, CR-LDP and Frame Relay Services –Format and encoding of the Traffic Parameters for these 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-base-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
