RE: Advancing the Protocol and Morin Drafts



Hi all,
 
I strongly support #1 and #2, this is the key for interoperability.
Sometimes, due to competition, the IETF standardization effort does not converge, and this is not necessarily bad at the beginning as such emulation helps improving the solutions, but at some point in time we have to converge to a subset of mandatory core components, because at the end the goal is interoperability.

 Objet : Advancing the Protocol and Morin Drafts

This email starts a 3 week call for input, to expire October 23, 2008, for the following steps:

1.) To accept draft-morin-l3vpn-mvpn-considerations-03 as a working
group document;  and

2.) To turn this document into a requirements draft, with mandatory to
implement features for an interoperable implementation. The authors
have indicated that they are willing to do this.

Our intention is, if this approach is accepted, to then begin WG last
call to submit to the IESG for publication:

draft-ietf-l3vpn-2547bis-mcast
draft-ietf-l3vpn-2547bis-mcast-bgp

We expect that these two documents will be submitted more or less as is

(i.e., certainly with any new bug fixes or other necessary corrections and

improvements, but without specific mandatory to implement feature
description in those drafts).

Please respond to the list with your recommendations for these two
courses of action.

Regards
Marshall & Danny
