Subject: GSMPv3 update for next week's editing session.

Hi,

The GSMPv3 Rev 03 Specification and the separate 
Encapsulation specifications have been submitted 
to the I-D editor.
They should be posted in due course.  In the meantime, 
copies of the txt, pdf, and doc files can be found on:
www.apocalypse.org/~avri/gsmp-specs/ .

The changes include:

- Support for reservations has been added.

- An input label service selector has been 
added to connection messages.  However,
this change will require further discussion, and will
probably require changes to the default service model
capability set definitions.  This should be discussed
both on the list and at the editing session.

- A label length and a sub-message number field has
been added to all messages other then the adjacency 
message.

- Delete All has been removed.  In its place 2 messages 
have been added: Delete All Input Port and Delete All 
Output Port.

- While the default for Alarms remains No Ack, a result 
value has been added (ReturnReceipt) which, when set, 
demands an ACK.

- A capability to turn flow control on or off for the 
Alarm mechanism has been added.

- The Encapsulation sections have been moved to a separate 
document

- Additional work has been done on labels, including the
addition of Frame Relay labels and the MPLS generic label.

Regards,
a.
