From: Jim Jones, OIF TC Chair

Subject: OIF Draft Documents Provided for CCAMP Information and Comment

Dear Adrian and Deborah,

It was reported to us that members of the CCAMP WG expressed interest in 
reviewing and understanding some of the current activities in the OIF 
regarding interworking and optical routing protocols. Accordingly, we are 
attaching current copies of draft documents in progress in these two areas, 
for your information and comment. Please note that the interworking 
guidelines draft is based on existing standards specifications from ITU-T 
and IETF, and the routing protocol draft specifies the requirements on and 
use of OSPF-TE at the E-NNI, using G.7715/7715.1 as a basis. It documents 
work that has been prototyped, tested and updated based on OIF 
demonstrations in 2003-5. It leaves room for protocol extensions to be added 
as corresponding work in IETF and ITU-T is completed.

Some members have reported on 
draft-dimitri-ccamp-gmpls-ason-routing-sol-01.txt, which initiates work in 
CCAMP towards defining the protocol extensions needed to meet E-NNI 
requirements. It was observed that with minor changes some of the extensions 
defined in the draft could be aligned with those used in working 
implementations that have been tested in conjunction with OIF 
interoperability events. Related extensions include the Node IPv4 local 
prefix sub-TLV and the Local and Remote TE_Router_ID sub-TLV. We believe 
that a key area needing review is whether the proposed extensions meet the 
full independence of functional component to physical location provided in 
G.8080/G.7715/G.7715.1 .

I'd also like to note that I have informed OIF members about the discussion 
of draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-addressing-03.txt and the survey of which ERO 
options are being supported, and asked that they provide any feedback 
directly to Adrian or the CCAMP list.

The OIF continues to be interested in establishing a formal liaison 
relationship with CCAMP and other IETF WGs as the best way to keep both 
bodies informed of each others' progress and working in concert, and would 
like input from the IETF chairs on how to pursue this next step.

Best regards,
Jim Jones
OIF Technical Committee Chair
