GMPLS Standards

The JUNOS software supports the following IETF RFC and Internet drafts related to GMPLS:

RFC 3471, Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)-Signaling Functional Description (generalized label request [bandwidth encoding only], generalized label [suggested label only], bidirectional LSPs [upstream label only], and control channel separation)
RFC 3473, Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Signaling Resource ReserVation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) Extensions (only Section 9, “Fault Handling”)
RFC 4206, Label Switched Paths (LSP) Hierarchy with Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE)
Internet draft draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-routing-09.txt, Routing Extensions in Support of Generalized MPLS (expires April 2004)

Internet draft draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-rsvp-te-ason-02.txt, Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) RSVP-TE Signaling in support of Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON) (expires January 2005)
Internet draft draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-sonet-sdh-08.txt, Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching Extensions for SONET and SDH Control (expires August 2003), (SUKLM labels and SONET traffic parameters only)
Internet draft draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-10.txt, Link Management Protocol (LMP) (expires April 2004)
Internet draft draft-ietf-ccamp-ospf-gmpls-extensions-04.txt, OSPF Extensions in Support of Generalized MPLS (expires August 2002), (except Link Local/Remote Identifiers, Link Protection Type, Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG), and Implications of Graceful Restart)

The interface switching capability descriptor described in Section 6.4 is implemented; however, it is currently packet-switch capable only.
