Title: IP/MPLS - GMPLS interworking in support of IP/MPLS to GMPLS migration

This document addresses the migration from Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS) to Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks. In order to expand the
capacity of existing MPLS-based controlled infrastructure, networks
consisting of L2SC, TDM, LSC, and FSC devices will be deployed, and these
will be controlled by the GMPLS protocols. GMPLS protocols are, however,
subtly different from MPLS protocols. This document describes possible
migration scenarios, the mechanisms to compensate for the differences
between MPLS and GMPLS protocols, and how the mechanisms are applied to
migrate from a MPLS to a GMPLS network.
