Re: [CCAMP] Still have issues in WSON Processing HOP Attribute Encoding in draft-ietf-ccamp-wson-signaling-08

[Lou Berger <[e-mail]>]

Young,
    Thanks for the quick response.  I "get" how WA method works, but am
less clear how Resource Block Information (e.g., Regeneration control
and  Attribute Conversion control) works per node. For example, how
would control of wavelength conversion at a particular node work?

Perhaps just running through this one simple case will help...

Again, as a reminder, the desire is to document existing intent rather
than redefining the solution.

Much thanks,
Lou
