Re: [mpls-tp] mpls-tp Dual stack DCN? (was MPLS over OTN)
Maarten,
I think you need to get off this OSI thing.
Nothing the IETF does will require the use of IP in the DCN for an MPLS-TP
stack. However, the IETF will only work on DCN protocols that are based on
IP.
It will remain possible to manage MPLS-TP functionality using a DCN based on
OSI, SNA, PNNI, or bluetak.
Since IP stacks are freely available and pretty small, and since it has
already been established that IP forwarding is not necessarily required in
the NEs, I don't know why this thread continues.

Diego,
The MPLS-TP functionality may be in equipment with e.g. SDH and OTN
functions. If such equipment uses MS-DCC to connect to the DCN, then it is
very likely that OSI is used. The MPLS-TP functions in this equipment should
**not** require that this equipment has to be equipped with two more DCN
connections supporting IP. I.e. it should be posible to manage MPLS-TP
functionality in equipment also via an OSI type DCN connection.
Regards,
Maarten

Hi all,
So we are at the point where we agreed that Ip forwarding is not
needed in the data plane nevertheless Ip is needed for sure for GMPLS
protocols (if used).
Now in this thread we mentioned several times the DCN, are there any
requirement about the protocol to be used for the DCN? Do we think that the
DCN should support both OSI and Ip?
Given that we are in IETF I think the answer is that the DCN and
configuration protocol must be Ip based, but may be could be useful state
that somewhere; I agree that draft-gray-mpls-tp-nm-req-00.txt is the right
place.

Diego

I think that Julien's proposed rephrase better describes the
requirement so I support it.
It is worth noticing that in case of static configuration and OSI
based DCN, the MPLS-TP data (transport) plane is actually configured
without any IP functionality.
However I think that DCN requirements should be described in
draft-gray-mpls-tp-nm-req-00.txt.
For the scope of draft-jenkins-mpls-mpls-tp-requirements-00.txt, I
think that it is more appropriate to rephrase the requirement as
proposed by Julien.
