Re: ASON reqts

stephen, john already responded to that question.
in brief, RFC3474 beside its technical issues,
does not entirely cover all the ason requirements

as of today we have two flavors "ASON/GMPLS" and "GMPLS"


And these two flavors were developed to two sets of requirements.
Base GMPLS comes from the requirements of IP networks that happen
to use TDM, WDM technologies at the lower layers. The ASON
extensions come from the additional requirements of (not necessarily
IP) transport networks.

I do not believe we have a third set of requirements. Can we please
avoid creating a third variant of the protocol?
