RE: Proposed CCAMP recharter



Hi Adrian.

I agree with Dimitri about the use of the term "Ethernet". As we don't control IP but MPLS-TE, we're looking into controlling a "connection-oriented Ethernet" which isn't really Ethernet and not supported by typical "Ethernet switches". On the other hand, (echoing Dimitri again) we are also considering Ethernet services over any GMPLS-controlled layer.

I also agree it is useless to rearrange all short-term milestones (unlike the charter which has a more long-term value).

Regards,

Julien

couple of points on editorship:

- MRN req + eval. should imho be ready by end Aug.

- concerning the i/w document i'd like to suggest referring to MPLS-TE 
(rather than MPLS) since applying only to RSVP-TE

- also you refer to a solution for the latter but we just have req. and 
a framework since so far -> are u sure solution would be ready by Sep'07
or alternatively the former doc shall be split and further discussed

we need also a milestone for input to the MPLS security doc. but not 
sure this has to be recorded

concerning the charter, two specific comments

- like also mentioned during the second meeting, clarifying the term 
Ethernet types would be suggested otherwise entering in an open-ended
discussion about what is allowed/not allowed, desired/not-desired, 
possible/not possible, etc. and probably focus on the analytical work 
here (something we should have probably done in the GELS context but 
did not happen) - side note here it was always felt useful to have 
operational use case described as well but that work did also never happen

- is this milestone also including Ethernet service signaling e.g. MEF ? 
in that case i would suggest to make a clear distinction here ?

thanks,
-d.
