[Teas] Consistency checked & WG adoption Request//Re: Review and thoughts on draft-zheng-teas-gmpls-controller-inter-work

["Zhenghaomian (Zhenghaomian, Optical Technology Research Dept)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi, Chairs, WG, 

As indicated in previous emails, we have been working on updating draft-zheng-teas-gmpls-controller-inter-work and addressing the comments from chairs. We are now writing to indicate that the controller structure in this work is in good consistency with the counterpart in draft-li-teas-hierarchy-ip-controllers. 

Given the progress so far, the authors would like to ask for WG adoption in the WG session, thank you. 

Best wishes,
Haomian (on behalf of all the authors & contributors)

Hi,

Since you asked....

I think Pavan and I have no reservations about this work progressing in the WG.  We do have a couple of things that think it would be worth clarifying before adoption poll.

1) it would be good to clarify that ACTN is one (example) method for implementing centralized control.  The document is good in some places, e.g., section 1, but less so in others. It would be good to ensure that the reader, particularly those new to the topic, understand that ACTN is just one way to provide centralized control, e.g., section 2.3 reads as if ACTN is the sole supported method; a PCE based approach is mentioned in the document but this is buried at end of section 5.2.

2) It would best if the examples lined up with what we are covering in the WG.  For example, I don't believe we've had any suggestion or discussion use of OSPF-TE as an SBI as shown in figure 1.  (A nit, it should be NetConf/YANG.) If your intent is to propose this, than this should be clarified and perhaps added to section 7.

3) We see Section 7 as the (future) core of the document and clearly a work in progress.  This is can be addressed pre or post WG adoption.

Thanks,
Pavan and Lou

Your guide should be "Which documents *must* you read to understand the basis of this document (normative), and which documents provide additional detail that a dedicated reader would want to read (informative)?"
