[mpls] For Review: Proposed Liaison Response to SG11

[Adrian Farrel <[e-mail]>]

Hi WG,

You may have seen some back and forth on the list with respect to a liaison
statement sent "For Information" to the OPSAWG by ITU-T Study Group 11.

Watching the mailing list, your chairs thought it would be a good idea to
send a response even though one is not requested or required, and even
though we were not the original recipients of the incoming liaison.

Our draft is below. We would welcome any thoughts or edits.

The intention is to send this "soon" so it would help if you could respond
in a timely way.

Thanks,
Adrian for the MPLS Chairs

Body:

Thank you for your Liaison Statement - LS on the consent of draft
Recommendation ITU-T Q.3962 (ex. Q.joint_tr) "Requirements and Reference
Model for optimized traceroute of joint Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol
Label Switching" dated 2023-10-24. This has been passed on to the MPLS
working group for consideration.

The MPLS working group would like to thank you for sharing your requirements
as expressed in Q.3962.

Our current understanding of your requirements suggests that all or most of
your requirements can be addressed using existing IP/MPLS OAM tools.

We would welcome all experts to bring these requirements to the IETF's MPLS
working group with a view to working collaboratively on an Informational RFC
that describes how to deliver the function you want to see. Obviously,
should any lacunae be discovered during this process, the working group
would also be pleased to engage in additional protocol work to resolve any
issues.

Kind regards,
Adrian Farrel MPLS Working Group Co-Chair
On behalf of the MPLS Working Group and Co-Chairs
