RE: SONET/SDH label agreement for IETF, ITU-T and OIF

["Mannie, Eric" <Eric.Mannie@ebone.com>]

Hello Bert and all,

One question is missing:

4) Do you think we should have just a single set of traffic parameters and
label format (values) for both SDH and SONET.

In 1) "none for SONET" assumes that SONET doesn't exist anymore. Note also
that the traffic parameters are already identical, the only difference is
about the label. As editor of these drafts I would like at least to see the
right questions asked on the mailing list.

Kind regards,

Eric

CCAMP WG members, 

before we start down another many 100s of emails re-discussing
the same topic....

PLEASE express your support for one of the 3 options that Kireeti
posed to the WG. Don't elaborate... just help the WG chair(s) to
figure out the (rough) consensus of the WG. The choices formulated
by Kireeti:

Thanks
Bert, speaking as AD who would like to see the WG take 
      a decision on this topic.
