As it's been pointed out on the mailing list in a various ways, option 1 is pragmatic but needs
clarification.
I'd like to
suggest a third option which is
effectively refinement to "1".
Option 3:
Principles of this
option: Split the OAM (M stands for
management and measurement) work between
ITU and ITEF with commitment on both bodies to work towards
complementing solutions, taking into consideration the core competency of the
two standard bodies and the business drivers behind the technologies (from vendor, operator, and standards
perspectives).
In specific, option 3 proposes splitting the OAM in
three areas
1) Definition and mechanism for availability
and measurement to be handled by ITU
2) ad-hoc
diagnostic tools for ip-centric networks to be handled by
IETF
3) ad-hoc
diagnostic and measurement tools primarily for non-ip-centric networks to be
handled by ITU
