Re: LCAS and GMPLS

[Greg Bernstein <gregbern@yahoo.com>]

Okay Adrian I'll take a first stab at the I-D based on
the e-mails to date and some of my tutorial material
from short courses and papers.  

Thanks everyone for the info and particularly Maarten
for the in depth descriptions and information.  I may
send you some extra questions after I digest it.  I'm
particularly interested in places where we "enable
LCAS" or some entity tells LCAS to perform an "add" or
"delete" action. E.g., what about renumbering? 

Sounds like there are plenty of possible solutions, so
a focus on a clear understanding of the problem space
and capabilities (which are already automated, can be
automated, or need to be commanded) is important.

I would suggest that Greg and Diego start an I-D. Call
it something like "Applicability Statement for
Operating LCAS and VCAT with GMPLS LSPs".
Include:
- Simple overview of VCAT and LCAS (no more than a
page, please)
- Simple statement of how LSPs fit into the picture
(about half a page)
- Statement of the requirements on GMPLS signaling
(about a page)
- Mechanisms and procedures (two or three pages)
