Carrier Survey Results on GMPLS-based Shared-Mesh Transport Restoration Strategies

Title: Message

Dear all,

 

Please take a look at our new draft:

Carrier Survey Results on GMPLS-based Shared-Mesh Transport Restoration Strategies available at:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rabbat-ccamp-carrier-survey-00.txt

This draft presents the results of a survey about carrier interest in shared mesh restoration, their requirements and their concerns. We have tried to be as encompassing as possible going to carriers in Europe, Asia and North America.

We are hoping to include input from more carriers and would like to ask the community in general and the carriers in particular to let us know what new information they would like to see surveyed in the next update.

 

Basically, we have the following questions:

- Are you interested in GMPLS-based solutions to the requirements?

- Can you suggest additional contacts to enable us to reach more carriers and get their feedback?

- Have we overlooked any aspect of restoration for shared mesh?

- What additional questions would you like to see?

Some of the surveyed carriers have already provided inputs on this and we'd like to ask others to give us their comments as well. 

Thanks,

Richard.
