WG Last Call Issues (2)
Signaling and data packets in the same PW are two independent sequenced sub-flows
Reasoning:
Complicates the implementation
Not compliant with the PWE3 architecture
Counter-reasoning:
The PWE3 architecture speaks about multiple channels
Setup/teardown of a pair of lifespan-sharing PWs is not covered by the existing control protocol
Resolution:
SHOULD carry TDM data and CE application signaling in two separate PWs
MAY still carry them in the same PW
Coupling of the data and signaling PWs for the same service will be considered separately (next presentation)
