[PWE3] draft-ietf-pwe3-rfc4447bis-00.txt Notes

[Luca Martini <[e-mail]>]

WG,

At the request of the chairs, I have posted the initial version of an 
update to rfc4447.

This is the next step in the process defined by rfc6410 to progress this 
document to "Internet Standard".
Quoting rfc6410:

"   A specification may be, and indeed, is likely to be, revised as it
    advances from Proposed Standard to Internet Standard.  When a revised
    specification is proposed for advancement to Internet Standard, the
    IESG shall determine the scope and significance of the changes to the
    specification, and, if necessary and appropriate, modify the
    recommended action.  Minor revisions and the removal of unused
    features are expected, but a significant revision may require that
    the specification accumulate more experience at Proposed Standard
    before progressing."

According to the above guidelines, I have revised the rfc4447 document 
to incorporate all erratas , and a WG discussions about the PW 
encapsulation being symmetric in both direction of traffic. I also added 
a clarification about the LDP mode bit as per MPLS WG discussion.
Let me know what else I might have missed.

Here is a list of changes from my log:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Updated all references - published v00 of bis rfc draft
- Added clarification about PW always being symmetrical in both 
direction of traffic.
- Changed Generalized ID FEC element, and  Generalized PWid FEC element 
to >> Generalized PWid FEC element to be consistent with IANA allocation 
and within the document ( this was noted in errata, but IMHO incorrectly 
rejected )
- Errata ID: 1530 - accepted
- Errata ID: 3112 - accepted
- Errata ID: 3114 - accepted
- Errata ID: 3115 - removed table
- Errata ID: 86 - accepted
- Errata ID: 938  - accepted
- Added text to specify that downstream unsolicited bit does not apply 
to pw application according to 
draft-raza-mpls-ldp-applicability-label-adv-02.txt (WG document of MPLS WG)
- made source identical , to rfc

Thanks.
