Re: [PWE3] I-D ACTION:draft-riegel-pwe3-tdm-requirements-00.txt



Dear Daniel,

it was not our intention to describe a particular protocol in the 
requirements document. It is our intention to come to a clear 
specification on the requirements we have for a PWE3 TDM Emulation protocol.

As long as there is not a consensus about the requirements a protocol 
should fulfill there is hardly a way to design the appropriate protocol 
itself (or decide about a protocol proposal).

I agree with you, that the I-D is in its -00 revision quite generic, but 
that is not a bug but a feature; it allows for further contributions and 
refinements coming out of the discussion in the PWE3 working group.

Do you have proposals for further requirements we should add to the I-D? 
Any comment and input is highly appreciated.

Bye
Max
