Document on todays IESG agenda: draft-ietf-tsvwg-diffserv-service -classes-02.txt (Informational RFC)

["Wijnen, Bert (Bert)" <bwijnen@lucent.com>]

It has several pieces of text/RECOMMENDATIONs (even as Informational
document) about OAM (SNMP, COPS etc)

You may want to check and let me know your viewpoints (asap pls)

I currently have recorded this discuss:

in Section "3.3 OAM Service Class" I see:

  Traffic characteristics:
  o  Variable size packets (50 to 1500 bytes in size)
  o  Intermittent traffic flows
  o  Traffic may burst at times
  o  Both elastic and inelastic flows
  o  Traffic not sensitive to delays

As protocols you list for exampel SNMP, COPS.
Well, SNMP can have packets larger than 1500.
Certainly when you do SNMP over TCP (RFC3439).
And COPS is over TCP, and typically would use larger packets I think.

NETCONF soon will be deployed too. 
And again it may very well use pakets larger than 1500.
