Re: Generalizing WSON information...



Hi all,
 
Very interesting.
 
For the real implementations, I think we have to meet the scenarios that MS-SPRing is used in GMPLS networks, because the different  services need different QoP. Therefore, how to deal with the issues about the interworking between GMPLS R&P and MS-SPRing protection is very important, e.g., time-slot continuity and GMPLS control plane should know when to trigger recovery or not as soon as possible (for example, GMPLS control plane should not trigger recovery when MS-SPRing has the protection capability, on the other hand ,GMPLS should trigger recovery ASAP when there is no protection capability for MS-SPRing).
 
I agree with Diego that we should resolve these issues from the GMPLS/CCAMP perspective.
 
 
 
Thanks

Hi all,
        I think that this is an interesting topic to move on, may be this time we can solve the issue of MS-SPRing interworking with GMPLS control plane that we were able to solve some times ago.

May be we can resume the ID about the MS-SPRing we did some time ago and try to elaborate a generalization.

BR

Diego
