The Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)[1] 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.[2][3]
  • Open Shortest Path First with Traffic Engineering extensions (OSPF-TE) routing protocol.[4][5]
  • Link Management Protocol (LMP).[6]
