Re: GMPLS Protection and Restoration Design Team - Report



hi, i thought i had already responded to the first point 
on dynamic restoration issue (in brief it is within the 
scope), please refer to my previous e-mail, now concerning 
the difference between a scheme and type, first it is 
orthogonal to previous point and secondly i suggest you 
take at the section 5.4 where the definition is provided 
"Section 4.6 of [CCAMP-TERM] defines the basic recovery 
types. [..] a recovery scheme is defined as the combination 
between different ingress-egress node pairs of a set of 
identical recovery types." take it here as a structural
way to describe shared meshed recovery; 

hope this clarifies,
- dimitri.
