A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: A Framework for Generalized Multi-protocol Label 
                          Switching (GMPLS)

This document presents a framework for the GMPLS control plane. It studies the GMPLS control plane from three different perspectives: functional partitioning, computational layering and network partitioning. First, it studies the functional building blocks of a generic GMPLS control plane and illustrates that, in order to be generalized for different technologies and their specific application environment, what each functional component could assume, what it 'should' (instead of 'how') accomplish, what are the generic    procedures and possible options.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
