Title: RE: Optical Link Interface
[Osama] - I don't see harm in having two
protocols. The market made its decisions on the examples you mentioned, and I am
sure it will happen again in this case.
[John Drake] The market has settled on RSVP-TE,
so there's clearly an existence proof that that the market prefers a
single solution
[Bilel Jamoussi] John, you seem to have a
very narrow view of MPLS applications. The market has settled on RSVP-TE in ONE
of the many MPLS applications -- namely Traffic Engineering of an IP network --
The (I)SPs that deployed it did not have a choice from their
vendors.
Also, the market has 2 routing protocols in the IGP:
OSPF and IS-IS -- The market prefers competing solutions to get the best of
breed.
