The following is the current wording of the proposed re-charter of the 
group.  Before sending it on to the ADs, I am looking for WG consensus
on sending it on.  Please comment within the next 2 weeks 
(i.e., by 16 October)

GSMP WG Re-Charter

The base General Switch Management Protocol(GSMPv3) protocol is about
to be submitted to the IESG with the request that it be made a
proposed standard.

Currently the GSMP protocol provides switch configuration control and
reporting, port management, connection control, QoS and traffic
engineering control and the reporting of statistics and asynchronous
events for label switch devices.

The current working group is responsible for completing the
standardization of the GSMP protocol under the current charter.
Future work includes:

  adding support for optical switching
  defining mechanisms for switch partitioning 
  defining mechanisms for control of IP packet switches.

- Support for Optical Switching

The architecture of some optical switches makes the ability to remotely
control the connection state of a switch important.  GSMP has been
designed especially for such remote control operations.  GSMP is
currently lacking in the specific semantics necessary for optical
switches. The WG will add these capabilities to the GSMP specification.
This work will be done in cooperation with the IP over Optics working
group.

- Switch Partitioning

The current version of GSMP is designed to work with a single static
switch partition. There is interest in having GSMP support multiple
partitions in which resource allocation is dynamic and variable between
the switch partitions.  This will be achieved by adding capabilities to
GSMP and by using available management tools, e.g. MIBS and PIBS.

- IP Packet Switches

Since GSMP can be used as an adjunct to the MPLS protocol, the group
will continue to co-ordinate with the MPLS group to make sure that the
primitives required by a MPLS controller are available in the
protocol.


Milestones:

- Document requirements for switch partitioning (Spring 2001)

- Document requirements for control of optical switches (Spring 2001)

- Document requirements for control of IP packet switches (Spring
  2001)

- Produce GSMP extensions, MIBs, and PIBs to support the requirements
  (Fall 2001)

- Update base GSMPv3 as implementation experience mandates

Avri -

In Pittsburgh, it was discussed that the re-charter not be restricted to
Optical switching but include TDM and Spatial switching as well.  By
broadening the scope, the GSMP WG will be able to better parallel the
"Generic MPLS" work in the MPLS WG.

(The GMPLS draft is not restricted to just adding Lambda switching, but
is also discussing SONET/SDH switched path signaling methods.  This came
about as a practical extension since today's service providers have to
operate in Spatial, DWDM, and TDM environments.)

Thoughts?

Hi,

You are correct.  I lost that edit.

I propose the following wording be added after the Optical section :

- Support for generic MPLS switching techniques

The group will collect requirements and define solutions to support
TDM, spatial and other switch types.  This work will parallel the
efforts
currently underway in the MPLS group, specifically Generic MPLS.

and the addition of the following work item

- Document requirements for control of generic MPLS switches (Spring
2001)


Thanks.

a.

Hi, Folks,

I have some further questions:
1. Since GSMP is a protocol only to manage connections in a switch, then how
does controller know that a connection in the switch should exist between
these two ports, but not those two ports? Do we still need some other
protocols, which can provide some related information on the required
connections in the switch, to work together with GSMP? If so, do we need
some rules on this cooperation?
2. To my knowledge, in the most situations, we may use those common
management protocols such as OSPF, BGP, RSVP and so on to manage a network.
Are there any practical applications which require GSMP? Could you tell me
any examples?

Many thanks for your information!

Gangxiang

Controllers are definately assumed to use some set of protocols to 
coordinate their assignement and use of lables in establishing 
connections.  within a MPLs context, this might involve using CRLDP.
In other situations, it might be established via COPS or some other
mechanism.

GSMP is useful when there is a desire to physically separate the control
plane (where the OSPF or CRLDP is run) and the data forwarding plane.
In this case the controller uses GSMP to convey connection state to 
the remote switch.

Controllers are definately assumed to use some set of protocols to 
coordinate their assignement and use of lables in establishing 
connections.  within a MPLs context, this might involve using CRLDP.
In other situations, it might be established via COPS or some other
mechanism.

GSMP is useful when there is a desire to physically separate the control
plane (where the OSPF or CRLDP is run) and the data forwarding plane.
In this case the controller uses GSMP to convey connection state to 
the remote switch.

Was there some text lost when the recharter was posted?
Under the section titled, "IP Packet Switches" it talks 
about coordinating with the MPLS group rather than talking
about control of IP packet switches.

Thanks,
David Putzolu

Thank you David, it was a cut and paste error.

GSMP WG Re-Charter

The base General Switch Management Protocol(GSMPv3) protocol is about
to be submitted to the IESG with the request that it be made a
proposed standard.

Currently the GSMP protocol provides switch configuration control and
reporting, port management, connection control, QoS and traffic
engineering control and the reporting of statistics and asynchronous
events for label switch devices.

The current working group is responsible for completing the
standardization of the GSMP protocol under the current charter.
Future work includes:

  adding support for optical and TDM  switching
  defining mechanisms for switch partitioning 
  defining mechanisms for control of IP packet switches.

- Support for Optical Switching

The architecture of some optical switches makes the ability to remotely
control the connection state of a switch important.  GSMP has been
designed especially for such remote control operations.  GSMP is
currently lacking in the specific semantics necessary for optical
switches. The WG will add these capabilites to the GSMP specification.
This work will be done in cooperation with the IP over Optics working
group.

- Support for other switching techiniques

The WG will collect requirements and define solutions to support
TDM, spatial and other switch types.  This work will parallel the efforts
currently underway in the MPLS group, i.e. Generic MPLS.

- Switch Partitioning

The current version of GSMP is designed to work with a single static
switch partition. There is need to adapt GSMP to work with multiple
partions in which resource allocation is dynamic and variable between
the switch partitions.  This will be achieved by adding capabilites to
GSMP and by using available management tools, e.g. MIBS and PIBS.

- IP Packet Switches

Work is being done to create IP forwarding devices that are controlled
by remote control plane controllers responsible for route determination.
The GSMP working group will specify requirements and solutions relating
to the control IP packet forwarding devices.  This control will
include configuration control, port management, QoS, and traffic
engineering control and reporting of statistics.  This will be
achieved by a combination of added capabilities to GSMP and by using
available management tools, e.g. MIBs and PIBS.

- Continuing support of MPLS controllers

Since GSMP can be used as an adjunct to the MPLS protocol, the group
will continue to co-ordinate with the MPLS group to make sure that the
primitives required by a MPLS controller are available in the
protocol.


Milestones:

- Document requirements for switch partitioning (Spring 2001)

- Document requirements for control of optical switches (Spring 2001)

- Document requirements for control of Generici MPLS switches (Spring
  2001)

- Document requirements for control of IP packet switches (Spring
  2001)

- Produce GSMP extensions, MIBs, and PIBs to support the requirements
  (Fall 2001)

- Update base GSMPv3 as implementation experience mandates

Avri,

Sorry for the delayed response. I've been away attending to family matters.
All of the items sound reasonable, althought together it all sounds a bit
ambitious.

folks,
there have been suggestions on this list to remove the tdm labels from
gsmpv3 into a separate draft. the idea is to coordinate the separate
tdm-draft with the work going on with generalized mpls. the gsmpv3 is
very close a second last call but the tdm part is still broken.

if there is consensus in the gsmp wg (this list) to move the tdm part
out of the gsmpv3 document, the co-authors will update the gsmpv3
document and send it out on a last call together with the other three wg
documents very soon.

so do we have a consensus to remove the tdm part for now?

Hi,

The other co-chair here:

I would like to clarify that we would not be adding the TDM content back
into the spec sometime in the future.  Rather, we are proposing an
additonal document that will become a WG work item. And of course, this
document will require a knowledgeable editor.  I don't expect that either
Kenneth or I is likely to edit this document.

So, speak up now if you are against the proposal to remove the TDM content
into its own document.

And speak up if you want the editorship of the TDM doc that results.

Thanks

a.

it's good to be a bit ambitious. it's being too ambitious 
that's not so good ;-)

if we can't get workable text then removing it would be
appropriate.

Hi,

I agree that it is an ambitious work load, but it is the load that 
members  of the group thought was warranted (even to the point of 
reminding me about work I had let drop off the list).  And I assume
it is a work list that the members of the group are willing to work
on.

When it gets submitted to the ADs, it will be reviewed by them and
we may need to substantiate both the importance of the work and
our ability to get it done.  They may well decide that some of the
work items are better left off the list for now or that some of
the items may be better placed in another WG.  As I understand the
procedure, once the proposal is submitted they will review it, and
if it is problematic they will come back to us before either
rejecting the proposal or passing it on to the IESG/IAB. 

As the period for review has ended without any objections, I will
be passing the proposed charter on to the ADs.

Regards and thanks for the review and the comments.

a.

hi,
i have not received any objections for removing the tdm labels from the
gsmpv3 specification into a separate draft, so apparently we have reached
consensus here. the next action will be to remove the tdm parts from the
base spec and start working on the tdm draft. so if there are any tdm
volunteers (i have seen one) contact me and/or avri.

regards,
ken
