Re: VT Switching

[Michiel van Everdingen <MvanEverdingen@lucent.com>]

Hello Manoj,

What do you mean with 'neighbouring nodes' ?
In my mind, VT switching matrices are neighbours if they are connected
via some STS trail. This is just like STS switching matrices are neighbours
if they are connected via some OC-n trail.

See my proposal in
  http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2002/msg00567.html
to find out how VT switching matrices discover each other as neighbours.

Hopefully the CCAMP WG will agree to add something like this in the LMP
draft...


Greetings,

Michiel
