Re: [Mpls-interop] Who will be in Geneva?

Adrian,

Upon reflection, do we really need either the term 'tandem connection'
or the term 'path segment tunnel'?  We have the terms 'hierarchical
LSP', 'containing LSP', and 'contained LSP'.  All we are talking about
is adding an OAM channel to an LSP.

That said, how about 'path segment LSP (PSL)' which is defined to be a
containing hierarchical LSP with an associated inband OAM channel?

Thanks,

John
