New charter text (1 of 2) The CCAMP working group coordinates the work within the IETF defining a common control plane and a separate common measurement plane for physical path and core tunneling technologies of Internet and telecom service providers (ISPs and SPs), e.g. O-O and O-E-O optical switches, ATM and Frame Relay switches, MPLS, GRE, in cooperation with the MPLS WG. In this context, measurement refers to the acquisition and distribution of attributes relevant to the setting up of tunnels and paths. CCAMP WG work scope includes: Definition of protocol-independent metrics and parameters (measurement attributes) for describing links and paths that are required for routing and signaling. These will be developed in conjunction with requests and requirements from other WGs (e.g. TEWG) to iensure overall usefulness. Definition of protocol(s) and extensions to them required for link and path attribute measurement. Link Management Protocol (LMP) is included here. Functional specification of extensions for routing (OSPF, ISIS) and signalling (RSVP-TE) required for path establishment. Protocol formats and procedures that embody these extensions will be done jointly with the WGs supervising those protocols. Definition of the mechanisms required to determine the route and properties of an established path (tunnel tracing). Definition of MIB modules and other OAM techniques relevant to the protocols and extensions specified within the WG. |
