[PWE3] Draft liaison to ITU-T SG15 Q9, Q11, Q12 and Q13 regarding draft-manhoudt-pwe3-tsop-01.txt

["Andrew G. Malis" <[e-mail]>]

PWE3ers,

As a result of the discussion in Vancouver, this is the body of a
liaison we will be sending to ITU-T SG15 Q9, Q11, Q12 and Q13
regarding draft-manhoudt-pwe3-tsop-01.txt. Please respond with any
comments on the liaison. Since the next SG15 meeting is coming up, we
would like to get this liaison sent soon, so please respond within the
next few days.

Thanks,
Andy

Please find attached draft-manhoudt-pwe3-tsop-01.txt (Transparent
SDH/SONET over Packet). This is an individual draft submitted to the
PWE3 working group to propose a new structure-agnostic pseudowire
encapsulation for SONET/SDH client signals, as opposed to RFC 4842
(SONET/SDH Circuit Emulation over Packet), which is structure-aware.
Before the PWE3 WG decides whether to progress with this work, we
would very much appreciate SG15's opinion regarding the correctness of
the draft's technical approach, its suitability for standardization in
the IETF, and whether it unnecessarily duplicates the functionality of
RFC 4842.

Best regards,

Andrew G. Malis
