Re: [mpls] Poll on way forward for MNA solution

[Tarek Saad <[e-mail]>]

Thanks, John, for responding to the poll.

Nope, nothing covered in fine print there..

A) will allow Open DT to collaborate on the single unified solution in a new document (consequently, aborting individual documents/solutions)
B) will allow features of the MNA solution (as present in some of current proposals) to progress independently.

Regards,
Tarek

[External Email. Be cautious of content]

Dear MPLS WG and MPLS Open DT,

Over the past months, the MPLS Open DT has reviewed several proposals for the packet encodings for the MNA solution.
A compilation of the multiple solutions brought forward is present at https://trac.ietf.org/trac/mpls/wiki/MNADocumnets<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/trac.ietf.org/trac/mpls/wiki/MNADocumnets__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!Dfvl0984HcYdOJHJZPmFsLUCzY3oC_ev_CkBwZ-68tsxKXnVMejCmWVyK8_VZ_M8dH90qFEcU0IVSDfikg$>.

We believe that currently there are two alternative ways to progress the MNA solution.
One of them requires a single unified solution, and the other allows for individual solutions to progress independently.
We expect any unified solution to document the pieces from the presented solutions that are discussed and agreed upon in the weekly MPLS Open DT meeting.
The co-chairs for the working groups hosting the Open MPLS DT are polling the WG on their preference to move forward.
Please respond with either:
    A) “I support the MPLS Open DT bringing forward a single unified solution"
    OR
    B) “I support progressing the individual solution(s) independently"

We will allow this poll to run for two weeks (ending on Sept 19th).

Regards,
Tarek (for the MPLS Open DT co-chairs)
