- All the emails in this thread have been copied to both mailing lists - All the participants in the thread are subscribed to both mailing lists No, it doesn't cost to have both lists active. No, it doesn't cost to have all of the threads on CCAMP.Please note that we should not discuss the data plane. If you don't understand (or don't like, or don't want to use) the data plane you should have your discussions in private or at the IEEE.

- Label allocation and swapping rulesis that not a forwarding component discussion ?
It is certainly informed by the forwarding component (i.e. the definition of the data plane), but the rules we need to define are the rules for the control plane. I.e. (and for example, only) if the forwarding plane defines that the label allocated on the upstream interface must be numerically one greater than the label allocated on the downstream interface, this rule must be referenced in the control plane specification. This is important since it is a constraint placed on the normal per-interface operation of GMPLS. That makes it CCAMP work.
beside the fact that there is an assumption on what label means and how it is represented in data plane
This is also something we would expect to describe within CCAMP although "what is a label" would come to us from the data plane specification.
