RE: CP-->MP Issue (was RE: Polling for new WG I-Ds)

["Bryskin, Igor" <ibryskin@movaz.com>]

Agree with Lou.

Can I also quote my own email? :=)

"We are
talking here about a capability of CP to acquire network resources and
build CP state for an LSP without actually re-programming crossconnects
(case MP->CP). Likewise, we are talking about capability of CP to release
resources and destroy CP state for an LSP without re-programming
crossconnects (case CP->MP). It is out of scope of those mechanisms how MP
(or any other plane) assumes or yields the ownership of resources of the
LSP whose ownership is transferred from/to CP."

So I think we are talking about two relatively simple and very symmetrical CP functions.

Who said anything about exporting state?
