GMPLS RSVP-TE Extensions for SONET/SDH and OTN OAM Configuration

GMPLS has been extended to support connection establishment in both SONET/SDH and OTN networks. However support for the configuration of the OAM functions is not specified. Both SONET/SDH and OTN implement OAM functions to monitor the transported signals. This document defines extensions to RSVP-TE for SONET/SDH and OTN OAM configuration based on the OAM Configuration Framework defined in a separate document. This document supports, but does not modify, ITU-T OAM mechanisms.
