Update on GELS evolution/progress

• Dimitri Loa

2
some feedback

• From last BoF mitigated feedback
• For inst., ietfjournal.isoc.org
• http//ietfjournal.isoc.org/IETFJournal0102.htm7
• Interest but needs to be worked out (with clearer
  process), including
• problem statement (motivation)
• service model
• architectural framework
• identify exactly what changes to GMPLS
• IEEE std compliance
• hint since not WG (no WG I-D) no official
  communication

3
Status

• Active mailing list (200 subscriptions)
• Active DT discussion
• Slowly converging on What needs to be done!
• Carrier involvement and interest

4
Status
Problem Statement

• GMPLS controlled Ethernet
• unify CP operations (source routing, TE)

Framework doc. draft-dimitri-gels-framework-00.tx
t

• 1. Domain-wide label DA MACS-VID (IVL fwding)
• 2. Link-local label S-VID translation (swapping)

Label encoding
Decoder Ring doc.
GMPLS impact

• Signaling and related
• Routing and related

Decoder Ring doc. To be completed
5
Moving forward

• Selection process
• Alignment w/ carriers requirement doc.
• Support level and value wrt needs (key scenarios)
• IEEE 802.1 std compliance
• Impact on control plane
• Signaling
• Routing

Status
Problem Statement

• Common (are we solving the same problem ?)

Label encoding

• Different solutions to the same problem
