A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: GMPLS Signaling Applicability Statement

This memo describes the applicability of GMPLS signaling to IP over
Optical (IPO) networks. The underlying premise behind GMPLS
signaling for IPO networks is discussed and pertinent limitations
are highlighted. Throughout this discussion, GMPLS-RSVP (RSVP-TE
with GMPLS extensions) will be used to exemplify the class of
protocols under consideration. This memo also describes the subsets
of GMPLS signaling message exchanges that are needed to support
connection management between optical switches, and between IP/MPLS
routers and optical switches in IP over Optical networks.

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.
