Qin Wu drafted me as editor of the Problem Statement I-D. There has been a lot of activity behind the scenes. When I was brought into the picture, I was given a version -03 of draft-ww-opsawg-multi-layer-oam as a starting point. This built on the published -02 version but had a lot more text up front and in the future work section. It also dropped "Architecture" from the title, removing it as a focus. My view was that the Problem Statement had to be tightly focussed precisely on that topic, and the future work section would become the core of a gap analysis document. This view was accepted. As a result, I have prepared an Editor's Proposal, draft-edprop-opsawg-multi-layer-oam-ps-00, which I plan to submit on Monday after some people have looked it over. It is much stripped down from the original text and has a lot of new text, but I hope it is not a shock to TIME/LIME participants. A key issue was extremely careful attention to terminology and nuances of meaning. The concluding Problem Statement section is fairly brief, so I'll quote it here: 5. Problem Statement Operators have a need for a management subsystem satisfying the objectives stated in Section 3. The analysis presented above indicates that the solution lies in the direction of a consolidated management function that operates in the first instance on a technology and layer independent view of network and service performance. There is value in attempting to define an architecture for consolidated management that may reasonably be argued to meet the stated objectives. If this attempt succeeds, it can be followed up with a gap analysis, which in turn will define a further program of standardization. At the detailed level, Section 4.3.1 and Section 4.3.2 deal with the matter of abstraction and its relationship to the specification of YANG modules. This is work beyond the initial definition of architecture and awaits justification and prioritization by the gap analysis. A similar consideration relates to the solution to the ECMP problem. The remaining issue is the OAM interworking issue identified in Section 4.3.3. This is architectural in nature, and should be addressed by the proposed work on architecture. Tom Taylor
