Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Control of Ethernet Provider Backbone Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE)
Don Fedyk, Himanshu Shah, Nabil N. Bitar, Alexandru Takacs · 2011
This specification is complementary to the GMPLS Ethernet Label Switching Architecture and Framework [RFC5828] and describes the technology specific aspects of GMPLS control for Provider Backbone Bridge Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE) [IEEE 802.1Qay]. The necessary GMPLS extensions and mechanisms are described to establish Ethernet PBB-TE point to point (P2P) and point to multipoint (P2MP) connections. This document supports, but does not modify, the standard IEEE data plane.
