Lou,

I am not seeing a big gain by encoding bottom most ODUk in  SC field for the following reasons:

1) it doesn't give full hierarchy picture supported on the link.  Meaning,  sub-ODUj services over this link still requires more than SC field.
2) the only case it simplifies is service creation at ODUk layer.
3) once a sub-ODUj service is created,  the link is no longer capable of service at ODUk layer. So,  you still have to look at available-ODU advertisement  even for  ODUk services.

My preference is like rest of the authors.

Thanks
Rajan

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
