RE: Progressing the discussion on liaison responses

["Ong, Lyndon" <Lyong@Ciena.com>]

Hi Ken,

We may have had a miscommunication here.  I don't think there is any
question
regarding the problem being solved, for the most part, only how to solve
it
(for which OIF is asking IETF for help).

Liaisons have been exchanged with MEF over the course of the last year
and
MEF has responded encouraging the work to proceed.  If you want I can
point
you to this exchange.

Cheers,

Lyndon

Adrian / Dimitri,
 
I would support progressing the VLAN ID topic to be inline with the MEF.
 
Lyndon and I had a quick follow up on the VLAN ID discussion in the hall
today.  We both had different pictures of how this would work and
therefore we unsure what problem we were solving.  This really
underline's Dimitri's point that we need to be sure "we have a correct
understanding of the problem".
 
Lyndon suggested that he could provide a view of the MEF UNI parameters
and a view on which paramters need to be signaled from some work in the
OIF.  Let's review this and see if we are on track.
 
Cheers,
Ken
