Re: Last Call: Routing Extensions in Support of Generalized MPLS vto Proposed Standard

[Jonathan Sadler <jonathan.sadler@tellabs.com>]

Hi Kireeti -

I was under the impression, given your email sent on 17 Jul 2003, that a new
rev of draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-routing was going to be released with a statement
added saying that the current doc is okay in a single layer network, but
doesn't capture inter-layer relationships.

I thought I may have missed an announcement of the new doc on the CCAMP list,
but cannot find it in the IETF I-D repository.  Am I missing something?
