Most of the initial efforts on Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) have been related
to environments hosting devices with a single switching capability, that
is, one data plane switching layer. The complexity raised by the control of
such data planes is similar to that seen in classical IP/MPLS networks.
GMPLS can provide a comprehensive framework for the control of a network
consisting of network elements based on different switching technologies,
which we call a 'multi-region' network (MRN). GMPLS can also facilitate the
control of layered networks where connections in a higher layer network are
facilitated by a lower layer network. This draft defines a framework for
GMPLS-based multi-region and multi- layer networks, and lists a set of
functional requirements.
