Re: Comments on ITU's Work Plan for Optical Transport Networks

[Greg Bernstein <gregb@grotto-networking.com>]

Hi Adrian and WGs, looking at the ITU-T SG 15's Optical work plan. They 
put an emphasis on Metro Optical Networks and point out that these can 
be different from long haul networks in that that they may not need to 
use regenerators and that these may be significantly more "dynamic" with 
respect to provisioning than long haul DWDM networks. 
We should point them at CCAMP's  WSON work which includes both the 
Framework document and the RWA info model document.  The modeling of 
asymmetric switches such as ROADMs seems to have been overlooked at the 
ITU-T.

Regards

Greg
