2. Recap Objective of drafts: Drafts provide:
Define GMPLS based support for MEF/G.8011 UNI
Based on GMPLS UNI (RFC4208) and GMPLS Calls (RFC4974)
Drafts provide:
New switching services
EPL: Ethernet Private Line
Supports a single port-to-port Ethernet connection (EVC)
EVPL: Ethernet Virtual Private Line
Multiplexed service – Based on Ethernet VLAN tags/IDs
Uses new label format
Other service and UNI specifics

3. Changes from previous version
Document split:
-gmpls-mef-uni-00.txt
-gmpls-ether-svcs-00.txt
covers new switching type and services
Alignment with Ethernet Traffic parameters
(draft-ietf-ccamp-ethernet-traffic-parameters-)
General cleanup
No significant technical changes
-gmpls-mef-uni-01.txt
covers UNI specifics
CCAMP - 70th IETF

4. Technical Changes Draft-berger-ccamp-gmpls-mef-uni-01.txt – None
Contains only UNI specifics
UNI Addressing (GMPLS UNI and CALLS)
Ethernet  IP address resolution
Connection Identification
Draft-berger-ccamp-gmpls-ether-svcs-00.txt
(Deltas from draft-berger-ccamp-gmpls-mef-uni-00.txt)
Renamed encoding 8B/10B line
New MEF-TRAFFIC TLV: L2 Control Protocol TLV
To align with [MEF-TRAFFIC]
Provides for handling of L2 control traffic at ingress and egress
Per MEF10.1, G and G
General text cleanup and references update
CCAMP - 70th IETF

5. L2 Control Protocol (L2CP) TLV
Carried in MEF Traffic Parameters (SENDER_TSPEC)
L2CP TLV Format:
| Type= | Length= |
| IL2CP | EL2CP | Reserved |
IL2CP – Ingress Layer 2 Control Processing
Value Description Reference
0 Reserved
1 Discard/Block [MEF10.1], [8011.1] and [8011.2]
2 Peer/Process [MEF10.1], [8011.1] and [8011.2]
3 Pass to EVC/Pass [MEF10.1], [8011.1] and [8011.2]
4 Peer and Pass to EVC [MEF10.1]
EL2CP – Egress Layer 2 Control Processing
Value Description Reference
1 Based on IL2CP Value [MEF10.1]
2 Generate [8011.1] and [8011.2]
3 None [8011.1] and [8011.2]
4 Reserved

6. Open Issue Further draft split? Proposal from Dimitri:
Split service document to match current RFC documents:
Protocol generic vs. Technology specific
Extensions to RFC 3471/RFC (label format and data channel switching)
Extensions to RFC 4974 (call related)
Extensions to Ethernet Traffic Parameters (for L2CP TLV)
Continue to have UNI specific document
Extensions to RFC 4208

7. Next steps Identify and resolve open issues
Solicit feedback from MEF/OIF
Do we need a liaison?
