Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Support For Metro Ethernet Forum and G Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Support For Metro Ethernet Forum and G.8011 User-Network Interface (UNI) draft-berger-ccamp-gmpls-mef-uni-01.txt Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Support For Metro Ethernet Forum and G.8011 Ethernet Services draft-berger-ccamp-gmpls-ether-svcs-00.txt Lou Berger <lberger@labn.net> Don Fedyk <dwfedyk@nortel.com> CCAMP - 70th IETF
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 CCAMP - 70th IETF
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
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.8011.1 and G.8011.2 General text cleanup and references update CCAMP - 70th IETF

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 3473 (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 CCAMP - 70th IETF
