Re: [Teas] Proposed charter update

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

Pavan and Lou,

The proposed update looks good, especially with the inclusion of DetNet.
However, support for DetNet should be more general than just support for
"use cases", which could be interpreted to be limited to those in the
forthcoming DetNet Use Cases RFC. Rather, how about:

 - With the DetNet WG on mechanisms (YANG models and protocols) to support
the DetNet architecture and forwarding plane.

Also, something else occurs to me that is somewhat more speculative and may
actually not fit, but I'll mention it anyway. While SFC doesn't require
traffic engineering in terms of bandwidth guarantees, it does require the
ability to establish constrained (policy-based) paths in terms of the
ordering of nodes for a particular flow or chain, and TEAS certainly has a
lot of experience with signaling protocols to establish constrained paths.
So perhaps there's some coordination with the SFC WG that may make sense
there. Just a thought.

Cheers,
Andy
