Having looked at the output of the WG, it already seems to include a couple of useful framework documents and about 4 requirements documents. This should already provide sufficient information how to continue the work. What isn't clear to me is what's the deployment level of these frameworks and various mechanisms. We seem to have spent at least ~4 years on this. Overprovisioning and intra-domain TE seems to have been a popular approach, but apart from that, where has this been deployed and how? Maybe we should let ITU, vendors, and/or deploying organizations to apply the existing techniques and frameworks, let this rest for 5 years and then come back to look if there is something more to be said on the subject. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
