Title: Comments on draft-bernstein-ccamp-wson-signaling-02.txt

Hi Greg et al,

I have a few comments on this draft proposal.

1. I believe basic WSON signaling extensions should be separated from signaling based RWA solutions. The reason is the scope of each problem is different.

2. I believe we have not yet established what level of client layer characterization should be included in an OCH layer LSP. For that matter the definition of "Lightpath" is not yet completed and agreed.

3. Basic WSON signaling should be in alignment with G.872 and G.709 concepts.
4. If optical impairments is not in the current scope why do we need to encode "analog bit rate", will the client layer signal type (i.e. SONET/SDH or ODUk etc.) not be sufficient for your purposes?

Thanks,
Snigdho
