[Qirg] updated I-D (-01) on connection setup

[Rodney Van Meter <[e-mail]>]

If you’re on the drafts list, you probably saw about 19 hours ago that I posted an update to our draft on connection setup in quantum networks.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-van-meter-qirg-quantum-connection-setup/ <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-van-meter-qirg-quantum-connection-setup/>
This is a minor update.

I went back and reread the email messages from when we posted the original in March. I think we covered most of the concerns here on the list, without needing much in the way of changes to the draft. But I clarified a few definitions in the new draft.

I think there are four things that I’d still like to do with this.  One is just writing:

1. Wojciech asked for an example of the process.  Agreed.

I think that’s an excellent idea, and would liked to have had it in the -01 draft, but didn’t get it done before -00 expired, so I went ahead and did the minor update.

There are three technical things that need to be done:

2. Align the terminology with Wojciech’s architecture document (*or vice versa*)
3. Our own thinking on where in the architecture *resource reservation* belongs is evolving; our simulator isn’t quite up to needing that yet, so we don’t have real experience with it yet, but this is an important discussion.
4. Wojciech asked if segment routing (SR) could figure into this, and I have only a dilettante’s understanding of SR, so I can’t say but would like to investigate.

Maybe we can revive the discussion of these here on the list, so that we can put out an -02 before Singapore?
