In this draft, we propose the extension of General Switch Management 
Protocol (GSMP) for optical data burst switching control. This 
document describes node architecture and reservation management using 
GSMP interface for data burst switching in optical domain. 
Particularly, we propose a reservation request message which is 
extended to the existing GSMP protocol. It contains the information 
about offset time and burst length to control data burst in optical 
switch.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
