[mpls] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-mpls-tp-rosetta-stone-10.txt

Hello Tom,

I have uploaded draft-ietf-mpls-tp-rosetta-stone-10 after addressing
your comments.

Done.

In a few places I made sub sections to group some of the definitions
of terms that have a relation.

Done.

Done.

 > 3.16 spurious period after the reference

Fixed.

 > 3.43 an MEG???

Depends on how you pronounce MEG...
- an emm eee gee
- a "meg"
I used the latter

References are added.

Done.

Added "source" and "sink" to provide clarity.

Reworded.

I am sorry to disappoint you, I followed RFC6291 (for obvious reasons).

Done.

Done.

Done.

 > Overall, it remains an impressive piece of work.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Cheers, Huub.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories.
  This draft is a work item of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working 
Group of the IETF.

	Title           : A Thesaurus for the Terminology used in Multiprotocol 
Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) drafts/RFCs and ITU-T's 
Transport Network Recommendations.

Abstract:
    MPLS-TP is based on a profile of the MPLS and PW procedures as
    specified in the MPLS-TE and (MS-)PW architectures developed by the
    IETF.  The ITU-T has specified a Transport Network architecture.

    This document provides a thesaurus for the interpretation of MPLS-TP
    terminology within the context of the ITU-T Transport Network
    recommendations.

    It is important to note that MPLS-TP is applicable in a wider set of
    contexts than just Transport Networks.  The definitions presented in
    this document do not provide exclusive nor complete interpretations
    of MPLS-TP concepts.  This document simply allows the MPLS-TP terms
    to be applied within the Transport Network context.
