RE: draft-ash-mpls-dste-bcmodel-max-alloc-resv -> WG document?

["Choudhury, Sanjaya" <Sanjaya.Choudhury@marconi.com>]

Hi! Few comments:

Technical (Scope):
(i) The aim here is to defined a BC Model and not a 
DSTE-Solution. i.e define the BC Model as per the 
DSTE requirement document: 
(a) the maximum number of Bandwidth Constraints
(b) which CTs each Bandwidth Constraint applies to and how

The draft in its present form, goes way beyond the scope.
For example: 
The proposed solution (a) expects modifications to the 
DSTE Solution (ii) introduces CT priority concept that
is not in DSTE-requirement 

I am not sure this is the right approach ...

Editorial: 
(i) Personally, I think this draft needs some editorial 
changes to state the solution more clearly [explicitly 
and succinctly state the rules/necessary configurations/
protocol extensions etc.] 

(ii) The draft also needs to define the term it uses 
precisely (and use them consistently]
Example: "bandwidth-in-progress","bandwidth-in-use", 
	   "reserved-bandwidth", "BWalloc" ... ...

(iii) Separate specification from the examples

Thanks,
sanjay
