Re: [CCAMP] I-D Action:draft-zhang-ccamp-gmpls-g709-framework-00.txt



Hi Fatai,

Thanks for your response.

 

Referring to a document which is not a standard is problematic and even confusing. I am not sure that all the IETF colleagues could realize that a supplement document in the ITU-T is not considered as a standard. As you agreed below, G.Sup43 is NOT a standard.

I believe it is NOT in the scope of CCAMP to define the dataplane behavior of ODU switching…we can define a control plane for a standard dataplane and refer to the dataplane standard behavior.

Once (and if) it is defined as a standard behavior in the ITU-T, there will be room to specify an extension for GMPLS (if necessary) to support it.

 

Also, I would like to note that it was NEVER discussed in SG1/Q11 to allow other mappings than ODU2e into ODU3e. It was even explicitly stated that no other mapping should be described in G.Sup43. The WP3 report from the plenary in December 2008 states that :"After discussion, the agreement was reached to document two versions of ODU3e, one based on the Huawei and CMCC proposal (using the eventual GMP chosen for ODU4) and the other based on the NTT and Japan proposals.  Agreement was reached to only document the mapping of four 10GBASE-R clients into each of these two versions of ODU3e in an updated G.Sup43.".

 

Nevertheless, even if specified in G.Sup43, we need to keep in mind that this is NOT a standard and we cannot refer to it as such.

 

Best regards,

Nurit

Dear authors,

 

Thanks for submitting your document on "Framework for GMPLS and PCE Control of G.709 Optical Transport Networks".

 

We have reviewed the document and we are a little bit concerned to find out that some significant items described in the document are not aligned with what is defined in G.709.

 

Especially the mappings into ODU3e1 and ODU3e2 are only defined in G.Sup43 which is not a standard.

In addition G.Sup43 does not define mappings of ODU0, ODU1, ODU2 and ODUflex into ODU3e2. The only mappings that are defined in G.Sup43 are 4x ODU2e.

 

[Fatai] Yes, you are right and we also indicated in this draft that ODU3e1 and ODU3e2 are defined in G.Sup43. You know G.Sup is not standard currently,so I think we have some options for this. (1)add a note to explain that ODU3e1 and ODU3e2 are still non-standard explicitly (2) change the title of this draft to "Framework for GMPLS and PCE Control of Optical Transport Networks" (3) move ODU3e2  to an appendix. 

In addition, I think we can cover ODU3e1 and ODU3e2 in this draft at this stage (i.e., individual draft), because they are being developed in ITU-T and may be accepted by ITU-T some day.

I will reflect this in the next version.

 

 

We are afraid that this is not inline with the view of the majority of participants in SG15/Q11.

 

[Fatai] I don't know whether it is true or not. But I think we can hear the opinions from SG15/Q11.

 

Except of the extensions that are already described in two draft (draft-ceccarellifuxh-ccamp-gmpls-ext-for-evol-otn, draft-zhang-ccamp-gmpls-evolving-g709), all other content of section 3, 4 is copied from ITU standards. Would not it be better to just refer to the ITU-T document?

 

[Fatai] In Section 3, some part of information is from G.709 and G.872 and we reference this recommendations explicitly. We just try to give a brief overview of OTN to CCAMP experts from the perspective of Control Plane and make everyone quickly understand why we need more considerations on OTN control. I think it is really tough for everyone to go through G.709, G.872 and other recommendations detailedly. As for  Section 4, I don't know why you said that it is copied from ITU standards.  In Section 4, it describes the connection management model for OTN networks, which is based on our understanding and some discussions in ITU-T Q12. 

 

Best regards,

Nurit
