Re: Last Call: <draft-betts-itu-oam-ach-code-point-03.txt>(Allocation of an Associated Channel Code Point for Use byITU-T Ethernet based OAM) to Informational RFC

Yes/Support.

I also support the following comment from Mr.Tom Petch.

"There is no reason not to approve the allocation of a code point
and furthermore, I believe we should do it now, to facilitate the 
migration of the existing boxes to an approved solution."

It is very difficult for me to find the reason that a Generic Associated 
Channel Type for ITU-T MPLS-TP OAM cannot be allocated, considering the 
following points.

-Request from ITU-T(LS370 - Current status of Recommendation ITU-T 
G.8113.1/Y.1372.1, Operations, Administration and Maintenance mechanism 
for MPLS-TP in Packet Transport Network (PTN)) which I think reflects a 
strong demand for G.8113.1 in transport networks which sustain Internet 
all over the world.
-Necessity to continue cooperation and collaboration with ITU-T
-Expected difficulties to progress G.8113.1 OAM protocol based on Rough 
Consensus in IETF

IMHO, this is the case that the IETF leverages standards that are 
defined and maintained by other organizations; we continue to work with 
those organizations on their standards and do not attempt to take them over.

Best regards,

Yoshinori
