Hi Mikael,

I've asked my colleagues visiting RIPE and NANOG meetings for Diffserv Interconnection related contacts, but feedback was limited. I guess there's some truth in what you say - developers and more so operational staff hardly participates in IETF work.

If you are aware of DiffServ Interconnection related agreements of NANOG please let me know. I think there's nothing discussed by RIPE.

You wrote:

   It would also be interesting to hear from equipment vendors, especially 
   ones that make BNGs, which kind of bleaching functionality is available 
   in existing equipment. Is it possible to just bleach precedence bits 
   on most platforms? I'd imagine it is, but it would be interesting to know.

Bleaching of "Ip precedence bits" is not within scope of Diffserv Intercon and it will stay out of scope (it is an informational draft and it cannot and is not supposed to change standards).

Carrier representatives interested in a standard allowing to remark, say, ranges of DSCPs (bleaching by precedence is bad wording) should collectively draft a suitable document. I guess, if at all, this is only picked up by standardization if a significant number of provider representatives express interest. If you know some more provider representatives willing to co-author such a draft, please let me know. 

I've had some text related to the issue in very early versions of the draft. 

Regards,

Ruediger
