Hi Sanjay and all, Please find some comments and questions regarding the new internet-draft: 'draft-wadhwa-gsmp-l2control-configuration-01': Among the different modifications that were brought to the document, allow me underline the following: Chapter 5.4.1 - A new subscriber identifier has been added: Type (Access-Loop-Remote-Id = 0x02) as a consequence Access-Aggregation-Circuit-ID-Binary has been moved from type 0x02 to 0x04 - A new type has been added: Type (Access Loop Encapsulation = 0x90) as a consequence DSL-type has been moved from type 0x90 to 0x91 Questions about these changes: - I quite support the Access-Loop-Remote-Id new object. Having this new circuit identifier, though, do we still need the Access-Aggregation-Circuit-ID-ASCII object? Could we merge Access-Loop-Circuit-ID and Access-Aggregation-Circuit-ID-ASCII into one object that we could call Port-ID or Circuit-ID? Same question might be relevant for Access-Loop-Circuit-ID and Access-Aggregation-Circuit-ID-Binary but this would require previous agreement - We should agree that the same line identifier may be used for access link and aggregation link... - Why was the access loop encapsulation object included within a message where all parameters transmitted are layer 1 oriented? There might be several encapsulations available per physical link, a new message could maybe better serve the purpose of transmitting the encapsulation parameters. Chapter 5.4.2 - Typo: Type (Access-Loop-Circuit-ID = 0x01) : defined in section 5.4.1 Type (Access-Aggregation-Circuit-ID-Binary = 0x02): defined in section 5.4.1. Type (Access-Aggregation-Circuit-ID-ASCII = 0x03) : defined in section 5.4.1. These lines should be updated to comply to Chapter 5.4.1. Thanks and Best Regards, Michel.

[Sanjay] All that the charter is saying is that L2C work will undertake use-cases that aim to simplify service management by avoiding complex cross-organization interactions. It is a nobel goal that L2C is striving to achieve.. What is wrong with that ? This is irrespective of wether other solutions can provide this or not. So, as an example, charter for a new dynamic routing protocol might say that it will strive to achieve fast network-wide convergence (which is a clear benefit over static routing). But, obviously it is ok for multiple dynamic routing protocols to work towards this goal and have this explicitly stated in their charter. -Sanjay >I believe that the charter should avoid stating benefits that >are debatable and therefore suggest that the text that I >quoted in my first email be deleted from the charter. > >Peter > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Wojciech Dec (wdec) [mailto:wdec@cisco.com] >> Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 7:34 AM >> To: Busschbach, Peter B (Peter); l2cp@ietf.org >> Subject: RE: [L2CP] Re: Revised WG Charter Draft >> >> >> Hi Peter, >> >> To address 1) we have put in the following statement in the charter >> which you may have not noticed. >> >> "The protocol design will not preclude other uses of L2CP." >> >> WRT 2) we do not lay any claims to how different operators structure >> their data bases, and some are probably better at doing it >> than others. >> However it does seem to be a fairly common problem that the >> info related >> to a single subscriber's network service needs to be farmed >> out and fed >> into numerous custom built manager systems besides also the >Radius DB. >> The idea is to allow a mechanism, through the use of L2CP, >to have the >> Access node be provided with such information as and when >> needed by the >> NAS which in turn accesses a common repository like a Radius DB. >> Dave's statement was, I believe, in relation to different >> subject; that >> of a wholesale-retail operation, where indeed the >relationship is more >> complex.
