Re: VCAT/LCAS

Hello Adrian,

In Vancouver there was clear support in the room that a group wanted to

Yes, and I still support it.


draft-bernstein-ccamp-gmpls-vcat-lcas-01 was submitted in October and
provides a fair summary of the problem space in sections 1 and 2.

The draft fades out in section 3 "Possible Extensions to GMPLS to support
additional VCAT/LCAS scenarios" as it starts to identify the specific
requirements to extend GMPLS protocols.

I suggest that the authors should:
- gather a group of interest parties to work on this


A small group already started, maybe others would like to join.


- keep in mind that protocol extensions are done in support of
  implementations (that is, not for completeness, but because someone
  is building product)
- beef up section 3 to list the requirements
- write a new section for the solutions


OK, thansk for the advise.


I think that we will be able to adopt this work as a WG draft, but we
should not do that until we have seen a first stab at the protocol
extensions.

If the authors could let us know their progress and plans, that would be
great.


After the Holidays we know more.

Cheers, Huub.
