[mpls-tp] Questions on the MPLS-TP CV drafts

[Masahiko Mizutani <[e-mail]>]

Dear All,

I'm looking at CV definition for MPLS-TP in both two individual drafts
(Internet Draft within MEAD team purview) and have questions on these docs.
- draft-fhbs-mpls-tp-cv-proactive-00
- draft-boutros-mpls-tp-cv-01
**
These documents specify different functionality and different frame
structure for MPLS-TP CV.
I think we need to have common understandings and need to discuss how to
specify this particular function.


Firstly, I have two questions.

Why we need two different CV functions that are used proactively and
used in normal operation? In my understanding, CV must be configured
proactively if we need to use it.
Is there any reasons for the separation?

I’d like to know the difference between CC and CV. Also, I don’t
understand well what MPLS-OAM is. I think we don’t have any consensus on
using these terms. In my opinion, “MPLS-TP OAM” might be better since we
focus on MPLS-Transport Profile.


Best Regards,
Masahiko
