Huub,

For your information, the document is now in the RFC editor queue, ready 
to be published.

>>                       that are related to the current test point.";
>> while the model insists that it is peering relationship:
>>          description
>>            "The relative position
>>             of neighboring test point
>>             corresponding to the current
>>             test point. Level 0 indicates no neighboring
>>             test points placed before or after the current
>>             test point in the same layer.-1 means there is
>>             a neighboring test point placed before the current
>>             test point in the same layer and +1 means there is
>>             a neighboring test point placed after the current
>>             test point in same layer.";
>> So, what is it? Perhaps it is time to remove list oam-neighboring-tps
