Re: [CCAMP] Poll on ODUFlex-related encoding

Hi all,

Let me confirm the proposed changes in the signaling draft before updates are done.

(1) Keep "Tolerance" field as proposed by Zafar (Supported by John and me). Any objections from the WG?
(2) Remove "N" field for ODUflex(GFP) as we all agreed.

Anything missed?

Best Regards

Fatai

JD: This is a very good idea.  'Per [G.874.1/2011] (or whatever is the correct reference) Tolerance MUST be set to 100 ppm.'
