The '''Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)'''<ref>E. Mannie, \"Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) architec- turearchitecture", 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, i.e., time division multiplex, layer-2

switch, wavelength switch and fiber-switch. GMPLS is composed of three main

protocols:

* Resource reSerVation Protocol with Traffic Engineering extensions ([[RSVP-TE]]) signaling protocol.<ref>D. Awduche, L. Berger, D. Gan, T. Li, V. Srinivasan, and G. Swallow, \"RSVP-TE: Extensions to RSVP for LSP tunnels", RFC 3209, Dic. 2001, IETF.</ref><ref>L. Berger, \"Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Signaling Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) Extensions", RFC 3473, Jan. 2003, IETF.</ref>

* Open Shortest Path First with Traffic Engineering extensions ([[OSPF-TE]]) routing protocol.<ref>D. Katz, K. Kompella, and D. Yeung, \"Traffic Engineering (TE) Extensions to OSPF Version 2 Architecture", RFC 3630, Sep. 2003, IETF.</ref><ref>K. Kompella and Y. Rekhter, \"OSPF Extensions in Support of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)", RFC 4203, Oct. 2005, IETF.</ref>

* Link Management Protocol ([[LMP]]).<ref>J. Lang, \"Link Management Protocol (LMP)", RFC 4204, Oct. 2005, IETF.</ref>
