The '''Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching''' ('''GMPLS)''')<ref>E. Mannie, "Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) architecture", RFC 3945, Oct. 2004, IETF.</ref> is a protocol suite extending [[MPLS]] to manage further classes of interfaces and switching technologies other than packet interfaces and switching, such as [[time-division multiplexing]], layer-2 switching, wavelength switching and fiber-switching.

other than packet interfaces and switching, such as time division multiplex, layer-2 switch, wavelength switch and fiber-switch.

==Differences between MPLS and GMPLS==

Generalized MPLS differs from traditional MPLS<ref>GMPLS RFC 3945 "1.2. Multiple Types of Switching and Forwarding Hierarchies"</ref> in that it supportsextends support to multiple types of switching such as TDM, i.ewavelength and fiber (port) switching. For instance, GMPLS is the addition''[[de offacto]]'' supportcontrol forplane TDM,of [[wavelength, andswitched fiberoptical network]] (portWSON).<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Bernstein | first1 = G. M. | last2 = Lee | first2 = Y. | last3 = Galver | first3 = A. | last4 = Martensson | first4 = J. | year = 2009 | title = Modeling WDM wavelength switching systems for use in GMPLS and automated path computation | journal = [[Journal of Optical Communications and Networking]]| volume = 1 | issue = 1| pages = 187–195 | doi = 10.1364/JOCN.1.000187 | s2cid = 18648649 }}</ref> The support for the additional types of switching has driven GMPLS to extend certain base functions of traditional MPLS and, in some cases, to add functionality.

These changes and additions impact basic [[label-switched path]] (LSP) properties: how labels are requested and communicated, the unidirectional nature of LSPs, how errors are propagated, and information provided for synchronizing the ingress and egress LSRs.
