RE: Comments on LMP draft version 04

["Bernstein, Greg" <GregB@ciena.com>]

IP in the data plane for test messages?  Kireeti most optical circuit switch
equipment (switches) can't touch the IP in the data plane and wouldn't even
know that its carrying IP.
What are you getting at below with you're comment?  Note that J0, J1 or J2
strings are not even communications channels and hence you couldn't send IP
test messages.  Line and Section DCC are not considered data plane but
overhead in SDH/SONET.  Hmm, does LMP not belong in the IETF?

The issue here is *not* whether there is a problem in
draft-everdingen-ccamp-lmp-update-00, but whether there is a problem in
draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-04.  It is not incumbent on the authors of lmp-04
to find problems in your draft.

Any variant of LMP that explicitly disallows IP in the data plane does
not belong in the IETF.
