Re: LMP & neighbor discovery

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

Hello Martin,

You seem to only be able to make bold statements without following
up on them:

- On your statement that we don't need TTP and CTP terminology
  because you find these concepts complex:
    http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2002/msg00751.html
  Please follow up on my question for alternative terminology:
    http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2002/msg00795.html

- On your statement that my proposal for neighbor discovery is
  tailored specifically for Sonet/SDH:
    http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2002/msg00786.html
  Please follow up on my reply that it is more general
  applicable:
    http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2002/msg00795.html

- On your statement that we don't need to enhance the 
  discovery aspects of LMP:
    http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2002/msg00751.html
    http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2002/msg00797.html
    http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2002/msg00840.html
  Please follow up on Carmine's question in:
    http://ops.ietf.org/lists/ccamp/ccamp.2002/msg00800.html


Would the background of your annoyance be that for your specific
product, 7200 OADX, you are only interested in LMP-WDM (i.e.
not LMP) ? I can understand that in a product that integrates
OADM and OXC, it is no problem to have a fixed (not operator
provisioned) control channel between the OADM and the OXC.
However, your specific product is not the only product on this
earth...


Best regards,

Michiel
