[PWE3] Re: CEM vs CEP in draft-ietf-pwe3-iana-allocation-01.txt

["Andrew G. Malis" <Andy.Malis@vivacenetworks.com>]

Luca,

Actually, there are two reference [8]s in the text.  The first one is in 
the PW type:

           0x0008   SONET/SDH Circuit Emulation Service Over MPLS (CEM) [8]

Seeing as none of the other PW types have document references, we should 
remove this one as well.  Either that, or add references to all of them.

However, Sasha did ask for an explanation, so let's change this to:

           0x0008   SONET/SDH Circuit Emulation Service Over MPLS (CEM) 
[Note 1]

At the end of the table, add:

Note 1: This PW type is grandfathered for a historical protocol.  The 
recommended standards-track protocol to use is CEP {PW type 0x0010).


The second [8] is on the interface parameter ID:

      0x04         4       CEP [8] Payload Bytes.

A better case can be made for keeping this reference, since the definition 
of the parameter contents is in the referenced document.  This can be 
renumbered to [2], and the reference is:

[2] Malis, A., et al, "SONET/SDH Circuit Emulation over Packet (CEP)", 
draft-ietf-pwe3-sonet-01.txt, January 2003, work in progress.

Cheers,
Andy
