Re: [Pce] Request WG Adoption of draft-zhao-pce-pcep-inter-domain-p2mp-procedures

[<[e-mail]>]

Hi Quintin.

It is a significant step that authors of both drafts agreed on working
on a single document and we congratulate all of you for that.

During IETF 76, you also mentioned "Lots of work and analysis ahead" and
a need to "continue to review requirements and select the technique that
best meets the requirements". Indeed, the current version of the
document looks more like a solution list than an actual merge of former
proposals. Considering the complexity induced by an inter-domain P2MP
extension, we would appreciate before taking any decision that you
elaborate on the way you intend to move forward towards a common
solution.

Thanks

Julien

Hi Co-Chairs and PCE WG,

Different parties have been working on solutions for computing P2MP
paths across multi-domain networks. At IETF 75 we were requested by JP,
to formulate a plan and resolve any issues in order to move the work
forward. After calls and emails between draft-ali-pce-brpc-p2mp-ext and
draft-zhao-pce-pcep-inter-domain-p2mp-procedure authors, we felt there
was concurrence to merge the solutions and work together on a unified
solution. At IETF 76 we presented our initial/combined PCE-based
Shortest Constrained P2MP Inter-domain TE-LSP solution
(draft-zhao-pce-pcep-inter-domain-p2mp-procedures-02). 

We would like to know if the co-chairs and WG would be in favor of the
document becoming a WG draft?

Regards,

Quintin
