Abstract

The MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) supports static provisioningof transport paths via a Network Management System (NMS) anddynamic provisioning of transport paths via a control plane. Thisdocument provides the framework for MPLS-TP dynamic provisioningand covers control-plane addressing, routing, path computation,signaling, traffic engineering, and path recovery. MPLS-TP usesGMPLS as the control plane for MPLS-TP Label Switched Paths(LSPs). MPLS-TP also uses the pseudowire (PW) control plane forpseudowires. Management-plane functions are out of scope ofthis document.

This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF) / International Telecommunication Union TelecommunicationStandardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS TransportProfile within the IETF MPLS and Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge(PWE3) architectures to support the capabilities and functionalitiesof a packet transport network as defined by the ITU-T.

This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it ispublished for informational purposes.
