The MPLS WG Archive

[Heiles Juergen <juergen.heiles@siemens.com>]

Genadi,

the draft proposes to use the MPLS control plane protocols for a different transport plane (Ethernet VLAN).
This is excatly what GMPLS is about. So I think it would be better to have the ID and dicussion in ccamp under the GMPLS work.

Regards

Juergen
