Re: [MBONED] WGLC for draft-ietf-mboned-mtrace-v2

Hi Jake,

That’s right.

This draft has a long history and there was no discussion about AMT in the primary draft.
After we recognized AMT’s importance, I added some text for AMT support in the draft (e.g., -07, -08), but I thought it would be good to propose the “mtrace for AMT” in a separate draft after this base specification was formalized. This is because AMT itself was not standardized at that time, and furthermore, the "mtrace for AMT" specification should be carefully considered using more (additional) time.
I don’t remember at which IETF meeting I mentioned this thought, but after that, the mtrace for AMT section was deprecated.

Generally speaking, regarding “mtrace for xxx”, there may be various xxx. Such specifications can be discussed based on this base specification. If you or someone initiate to describe the specification, I’m happy to cooperate with it.

Regards,

Hitoshi
