Doubt in applying the transforms in SONET/SDH traffic parameters.



Hi,
The draft "draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-sonet-sdh-04.txt" specifies as follows for the traffic parameters -
 
  "Each transform is optional and must be ignored if zero, except MT that cannot be zero and is ignored if equal to one"
 
Is'nt it that the transform should be "mandatory" applied and not optionally as mentioned above. Consider for example, a request is received from an upstream peer with Signal Type as 6 indicating STS-3c SPE and NVC as 4 indicating a final signal which comprises of 4 virtually concatenated STS-3c SPEs. This would mean a bandwidth of (155.5*4)Mbps requested by the upstream. Now if the LSR decides not to apply virtual concatenation, as inferred from the draft and gives back a mapping corresponding to STS-3c SPE, it would result in net bandwidth allocation of 155.5 Mbps only. Instead the LSR should reject the LSP request.
The same argument holds good for other traffic parameters also.
Kindly reqly back if I am missing something....
Thanks in advance.

Vinay
