Re: [CCAMP] I-D Action: draft-ietf-ccamp-flexigrid-lambda-label-01.txt

Clarification for the composite label portion:
So does this mean that:
a) we are moving ahead with control plane solution ahead of ITU data plane definitions ?
b) or that the ITU data plane has already defined all the data plane aspects for the composite label use case?

If it is case (b) - no issue.  However, if it is case (a) shouldn't we wait for ITU before proposing solutions? 

 I  disagree with the assertion "more formal discussion of media channels and network media channels and their arrangement for inverse multiplexing belongs in the framework" .  I believe this document should  elaborate on the use case for which the solution is being proposed.

Thanks,
Iftekhar

Since we are down to wordsmithing, I have posted a revision. The bits to look at are sections 2.1 and 4.3.

Suggestions of replacement text are welcome.

I think that the more formal discussion of media channels and network media channels and their arrangement for inverse multiplexing belongs in the framework draft since this document only sets out how to construct a composite label.

Cheers,
Adrian
