Re: [mpls-tp] mpls-tp-dicover

The plug and play discovery and the network topology discovery description belongs in the NM framework document.  The verification of configuration functionality is something that can be done in an NMS solution, but doesn't necessarily need to be described in the framework document.

Hi thanks for these.

My point at the microphone (which seemed to cause some confusion) was to ask for a separation between...
a. plug and play discovery
b. verification of configuration
c. network topology discovery

For c. we have control plane IGP or management plane (we could use OAM as well, but that would be reinventing routing and inserting it into OAM!)

For b. We have control plane (we could add OAM if there is a requirement - but I would resist the idea of completely reinventing the control plane and putting it into OAM)

For a. *if* this function is required (we have not yet established that there is support for your requirements) we could use existing plug and play discovery protocols (PPP NLC - see current G.7714, LMP discovery (see old
G.7714)

Cheers,
Adrian
