GMPLS Controlled Ethernet Label Switching BOF (gels)

=================================
CHAIRS: Loa Andersson <

DESCRIPTION:
Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) signaling and
routing is applicable to Layer 2 technologies. However, up to now,
very little attention has been given to the control of Ethernet
switches using GMPLS protocols in support of point-to-point paths.
The purpose of this BoF is to determine interest in applying GMPLS
to Ethernet LSR. As it is a non-objective of the IETF to initiate
any Ethernet data plane work, the purpose of this BoF is also to
highlight and discuss foreseen interactions with other SDOs, in
particular, the IEEE 802.1, with respect to the data plane
operations.
This BOF will also discuss the consequent GMPLS control plane
requirements and what extensions to existing GMPLS protocols may
be required and whether there is cause and support for this work
within the IETF.
