Moving LSP ownership between control plane and management plane

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

Hi,

You may not have seen this I-D because it lacks the "ccamp" element in its
name.

It discusses the issues for switching ownership of an LSP from the
management plane to the control plane and back again.

Can we have some comments from the CCAMP community (and especially from
the providers) on whether this function is necessary. Would you consider
deploying a control plane into an active network, or would you shut the
network (or at least the LSPs) for maintenance, and bring it (or them)
back up using the control plane?

The I-D also proposes a relatively simple solution and I would welcome
comments on this, too.

Thanks,
Adrian
