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) |
