RE: ASON reqts

[John Drake <jdrake@calient.net>]

Lyndon,

I think it is out of scope.  The only requirement is that a group of one or
more nodes running a proprietary control plane (e.g., OSRP) must appear to
be one or more GMPLS nodes, and this is a requirement on the vendor
implementing the proprietary control plane.

Thanks,

John
