RE: Final draft of response to the OIF

["Mack-Crane, T. Benjamin" <Ben.Mack-Crane@tellabs.com>]

Dimitri,

Note 2 on page 6 refers to transparent mode, which is a
different thing altogether.  I think this encoding is
poorly chosen as well (and may not allow for the full
flexibility of equipment that provides various levels
of transparent STS-N/STM-N switching), but that is not
currently under discussion.

Regards,
Ben
