Re: Further communication received from the OIF

["Adrian Farrel" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Jim,

Further to my email of 12th June, can you also confirm the stability of the 
documents that you have sent. If you are asking for our review, will these 
documents remain stable during the review period or are they being 
continually updated? If changes are being made on a relatively frequent 
basis, from where can people download the most up-to-date copies to ensure 
that they do not waste their time commenting on text that has changed.

Thanks,
Adrian

>> 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
