Abstract
This document describes the General Switch Management Protocol
Version 3 (GSMPv3). The GSMPv3 is an asymmetric protocol that allows
one or more external switch controllers to establish and maintain the
state of a label switch such as, an ATM, frame relay or MPLS switch.
The GSMPv3 allows control of both unicast and multicast switch
connection state as well as control of switch system resources and
QoS features.
