RE: ITU Liaison regarding ASON Requirements Design Team

["Ong, Lyndon" <LyOng@Ciena.com>]

Hi Vishal,

I think you can interpret the statement in a couple of ways:
-- first as a guideline to the Design Team to work based on
the routing requirements defined in Question 12 and 14 and
resist the temptation to insert new ones
-- second as a recognition that the work is in fact still in
progress at ITU - G.8080 and G.7715 are approved but other
specifications and amendments (for example, G.7715.1) may
affect this that are not yet complete.  G.7715.1 is scheduled
for consent at this October meeting of SG 15 providing that
it is ready for approval.  If 7715.1 (requirements
for link state routing) is not ready I would hope that the
design team should continue refining its conclusions as the
work in ITU proceeds.  

Cheers,

Lyndon

Deborah,

The liason statement looks good. 

A quick clarification, however.

The statement reads:
"... no requirement will be considered in this document that is not 
an ASON routing requirement (as decided by those working on 
Questions 12 and 14 of Study Group 15)."

The parenthetical phrase above seems to suggest that the 
ASON routing requirements within the ITU-T are themselves not fully 
finalized yet.

Is there some doubt about what the exact ASON routing requirements
are? And, are they not clearly specified and agreed to by SG15 yet. 

If so, how does the DT hope to make its recommendations?

Thanks,
-Vishal
