Adrian, Thank you for the clarification the process. I now understand that the erratum was the wrong approach to address this comment from the ITU. Unfortunately I don't think that the change you are proposing will address the comment raised in the liaison from the ITU. "This change is intended to clarify that providing a multiplexing capability for a section layer is optional." My understanding is that the only motivation for the erratum was to address this comment, if this is the case then I see little point in progressing the erratum. Regards, Malcolm Adrian Farrel <Adrian.Farrel@huawei.com> Sent by: mpls-tp-bounces@ietf.org 10/11/2010 02:38 AM Please respond to Adrian.Farrel@huawei.com To ahmpls-tp@lists.itu.int, mpls@ietf.org, mpls-tp@ietf.org cc Subject [mpls-tp] Progressing Resolution of Erratum 2533 (RFC 5960) All, Thank you for your input and suggestions on this topic. To be clear, we are not attempting to reach consensus on what change to make, but I am listening to your individual opinions. In deciding what Erratum to post, I will select a form of words that clarifies the published RFC text, but which does not make a technical change. I intend to reflect the consensus of the IETF that was demonstrated by the publication of this document. The Erratum process is intended to correct typographic or rendition issues that produce Editorial or Technical issues in the published text. The process is not intended to make technical changes or fixes. Such issues should be handled by revising the work through the IETF consensus process. draft-ietf-mpls-tp-uni-nni is a good example of how that is done. Now, with regard to this particular Erratum. It seems to me that there are two separate concerns. The first concern is about identification of payloads. This is needed for a range of reasons, and is a firm requirement in the existing text (and, indeed in the MPLS architecture). However, it is noted that the identification may be explicit or implicit. The text also notes that the use of explicit identification of payload is a facilitator for demultiplexing multiplexed payloads. The second concern is whether there is a requirement to support payload multiplexing. I do not believe there is any statement about the support for multiplexing in RFC 5960. The only mention of the subject is in the filed Erratum. It would be wrong to introduce any statement of requirement or non-requirement through an Erratum. So, I'm not hearing anything that persuades me that the Erratum should be different from what I wrote. If folk want to establish a specific requirement that multiplexing is not required, then they can go ahead and write a draft. I cannot speak for how the WG will greet such a draft. Thanks, Adrian _______________________________________________ mpls-tp mailing list mpls-tp@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mpls-tp
