Hello Kenji,

Regarding your following draft, Section 2: Reference Model.

Just wonder if you have considered such a scenario, say, suppose
GMPLS-controlled PBT Ethernet networks are widely deployed (just an
assumption), and the backbone is still MPLS networks, then we will
have such a reference model: GMPLS-MPLS-GMPLS. And in this model, MPLS
networks become the 'islands' (server) and GMPLS networks are the sea
(client).

Regards,
Peng
