Re: VCAT/LCAS




adrian -

would it be possible to take into account compatibility with RFC3946 when addressing the following point you mentioned here below

"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.
"

much thanks,
- dimitri.

Hi,

In Vancouver there was clear support in the room that a group wanted to
work on this topic.

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
- 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

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.

Thanks,
Adrian
