Subject: MPLS and GMPLS Change Process

Dear Sirs,

The IETF's Routing Area and the MPLS and CCAMP Working Groups note the
interest from ITU-T Study Groups in the technology and protocols
developed by the IETF for MPLS and GMPLS (aka. (G)MPLS) enabled
networks.
The IETF's Routing Area and the MPLS and the CCAMP Working Groups are
finalizing the process according to which updates, changes and
extensions to the (G)MPLS technology will be handled.

Since your SGs and Questions are a major source of requirements on the
(G)MPLS protocols and are using them in the architectures defined by
the ITU-T, we would like to draw your attention to the work done in the
IETF on the (G)MPLS change process. The attached draft includes a
specification of the (G)MPLS change process. Please forward to other
Study Group Chairpersons and Rapporrteurs as you see fit.

The Routing Area and the CCAMP Working Group and the MPLS Working Group
would welcome input from SG13 and SG15 on this work.

Sincerely,
Kireeti Kompella & Adrian Farrel, CCAMP WG chairs
Loa Andersson & George Swallow, MPLS WG Chairs
Bill Fenner & Alex Zinin, Routing Area Directors of the IETF
