[PWE3] clarification on poll to accept lsp-ping/bfd draft(s) as working group document(s)

[Loa Andersson <loa at pi.nu>]

Working Group(s)


Two drafts are being progressed in the MPLS Working Group now:

draft-nitinb-mpls-tp-lsp-ping-bfd-procedures
and
draft-asm-mpls-tp-bfd-cc-cv

This note is intended to clarify the relationship between these drafts.

Draft-nintinb addresses the problem of running BFD as it is currently
defined for MPLS, this obviously has aspects that are relevant to
packet transport networks.

Draft-asm is intended to meet all the requirements in the MPLS-TP
OAM Requirements.

It turns out that the two drafts are closer than we earlier anticipated
and there is a bit of overlap. This will not stop us from progressing
both drafts, but it introduces a new need for coordination between the
two author teams.
