Re: ASON reqts

Hello,

Woke up too early. Thought reading this document may put me back to sleep, well,
it didn't :-) So nice work, just some clarifications:

-- Support for SPC. 
I understand SPC but don't think the first requirement to GMPLS signaling is
MUST. It depends on implementation, doesn't it?

-- Support for crankback. 
I think we may want to separate fault localization and crankback, as the former
may be more desirable. Also, not a big fan of crankback, I'd like to know more
details about the crankback requirement. For example, is crankback a must or
optional? is crankback a must at inter-domain interface or also a must at
intra-domain interface?  (I hope requirement only document what must be done)

That what I have so far.

Regards,

Yangguang
