Abstract

   Automatic Switched Optical Network (ASON) is an architecture,
   specified by ITU-T Study Group 15, for the introduction of a control
   plane for optical networks.  The ASON architecture specifies a set of
   reference points that defines the relationship between the ASON
   architectural entities.  Signaling over interfaces defined in those
   reference points can make use of protocols that are defined by the
   IETF in the context of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching
   (GMPLS) work.  This document describes Constraint-Based LSP setup
   using LDP (CR-LDP) extensions for signaling over the interfaces
   defined in the ASON reference points.  The purpose of the document is
   to request that the IANA assigns code points necessary for the CR-LDP
   extensions.  The protocol specifications for the use of the CR-LDP
   extensions are found in ITU-T documents.
