["Adrian Farrel" <adrian@olddog.co.uk>]

FYI the changes to this version are relatively minor.

- Update boilerplate
- Change "Network controller" to "Controller"
- Clarify that in GMPLS a connection is usually termed an LSP
- Strengthen the definition of a hierarchical LSP and introduce the
   abbreviation H-LSP.
- Remove confusing text about the discovery of component link
   ends through routing protocols.
- Note that a "TE region" is often called an "LSP region" or just
  a "Region".
- Re-order references.

I plan to liaise this version of the draft to SG15 question 14 (main ASON
protocol question) and question 3 (terminology) for their input, in
particular since much of the text was contributed by SG15 folks at the
meeting in Holmdel earlier this year.

We would also appreciate further feedback from CCAMP on the accuracy of
the draft and its structure. In particular, the draft introduces some
terminology that is not defined in existing I-Ds or RFCs (sometimes it is
used w/o definition, but more often it is a concept that is well-known in
GMPLS but for which there is no term) - should we leave these terms
embedded within the draft as currently, or should we pull them out to an
early section to high-light them?

Thanks,
Adrian
