Liaisons from Q14/SG15 ITU main meeting-Geneva, Oct 21-31, 2003  Liaison Statement To IETF CCAMP on RSVP-TE and CR-LDP  ASON Status

Liaison Statement To IETF CCAMP on RSVP-TE and CR-LDP  ITU Question 14 of Study Group 15 thanks you for your liaison in which you notified us of the survey taken of implementers of GMPLS constrained LSP signalling.  As Recommendation G is currently in force, we will continue to have a normative reference to CR-LDP [RFC 3212].  Your liaison has raised a concern regarding on-going maintenance of the CR-LDP code point space. We expect that future requests for code points in the range allocated to CR-LDP (0x0800 to 0x08FF) in [RFC 3212] will be granted based on “IETF Consensus” as defined in RFC 2434.

ASON Updates  SG 15 has consented G / Y “ASON Routing Architecture and requirements for Link State protocols”. –This Recommendation provides architecture and requirements for a link state realization of G.7715/Y.1706 and G.8080/Y.1304 and is protocol neutral. This may be of assistance to the ASON Routing Requirements design team.  There were no changes made to Discovery Recommendations. –However, new issues were included in the G living list such as an Interoperable solution for ECC based discovery mechanisms. Question 9 of SG15 is assessing G discovery methods in the context of the existing equipment Recommendation G.783.  Two new draft recommendations related to Control Plane functions are being developed in SG15. –G.fame, “Framework for ASON management” –G.7716, “Control plane initial establishment, reconfiguration and recovery”.  In signalling, a number of study points were added to the living list of G.7713 “Distributed call and connection management”. –These include feedback, interaction with Vcat/LCAS, separation of call and connection parameters, and signalling resilience.

ASON Updates  Next Q.14/15 interim meeting –16 – 20 February 2004, located in North Carolina, USA. –The Rapporteur for Q.14/15 invites the participation of the CCAMP WG in related discussions. –Details of the agenda will be provided prior to the meeting. –Interested should contact the Rapporteur for Q.14/15 (H. Kam Lam, by 13 January –Any contributions directed to the meeting must be submitted by 9 February 2004.
