Re: Moving forward with the CCAMP charter



Hi, Adrian

 Thank you for giving your time interim your hard work.

With regard to your section 5, I note that you consider the VCAT group
analogous with a link bundle. I don't think this is correct because the
members of a link bundle must be selected and used individually. A payload
data stream cannot be distributed across multiple component links of the
bundle...
   An LSP with a bandwidth requirement b and
   setup priority p fits in a bundled link if at least one component
   link has maximum LSP bandwidth >= b at priority p.
However, the whole point of a VCAT group is to produce a single entity
(pipe) with maximum LSP bandwidth greater than the capacity of any
individual component. A VCAT group, therefore, is not a bundle.

Following on from this, I think that the remainder of your section 5.1
will have some value, but needs to be corrected to properly reflect the
meaning of a VCAT group.

In general, I think your section 5 should generalize from the specific
case of the FA to include any TE link that is based on a VCAT group.

Section 5.2 seems to confuse "FA" with "FA LSP".

Regarding to VCAT, I agree to your comment. But, this draft also covers LAGR (link aggregation) which has some limitations to transmit data-flow exceeding the bandwidth of each comopnent LSP.

 This is one of reason why the description wirtten in Section 5 exists, although
some terminologies are not proper as you noted.

Thanks
