Re: [mpls-tp] R: [mpls] MPLS WG slides from CMCC

["Sprecher, Nurit (NSN - IL/Hod HaSharon)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi,
I think at the current status, we should do it vice versa...
Any one that wants to push for another solution than currently being defined by the WG, should present the technical issues it has with the current proposals when he present alternative ones!
We should aim for technical discussion and do it tool by tool!
Best regadrs,
Nurit

Could you please send a list of these issues?

I do not recall to have seen any on the mpls-tp mailing list.

Thanks, Italo
