Hi Ramon,

I don’t have a strong opinion either but isn’t the definition of the Port Label Restriction sub-TLV a separate issue from the future-proofing of the flexible grid label encoding? I mean the purpose of this sub-TLV is to describe a port on a switch that supports only a restricted subset of the full flexible grid.

Isn’t there a possibility that a particular switch could be restricted to granularities not following the 2:1 relationship due to some technology limitation?

/Jonas

I agree with LeWang,

Xian:  I think Lei has made a good point, i.e., CFG and SWG currently has a fixed relationship.  Will remove one field (i.e., CFG) to avoid carrying duplicated information in the next rotation of the draft. If anyone has different opinions, please speak up.

quote
"If such a proposal is made in the future, it is more likely that a second flexible grid with different granularity will be defined in addition to the existing grid rather than changes made to the current flexible grid (...) One of the reasons behind the 2:1 relationship between the slot width granularity and the nominal
central frequency granularity in the current flexible grid is to be able to describe any of the existing fixed spacing grids in Recommendation ITU-T G.694.1 using the flexible grid. If in future a flexible grid with finer granularity is introduced, the same 2:1 relationship should not be assumed."

so it is a design trade-off? do we stick to the current grid definition *only* or we are more future-proof?
