Hi all,

we agree with John's consideration on keeping switching capability as indicator of the switching technology and not overloading the meaning with layers within the same technology.

Thanks

Sergio and Pietro

Lou,

I think I would argue with your characterization of a.  Other than PSC 1-4, which as I have previously stated was an abject failure, switching capability was never used to indicate layers within the same switching technology.  So, I would argue that what we are doing in OTN is really a.  I.e., keep switching capability as it is, an indicator of the switching technology.

Thanks,

John
