Jon,
Please be aware that transport network operators typically participate
in the work of the ITU, not the IETF and therefore many are not aware
of this work.
I'm not sure how to interpret this note!
The (now-just-closed) MEAD team included active participants from Verizon,
BT, at&t, NTT, and FT. They were involved in the development of the MPLS-TP
requirements documents and were part of the detailed review of this
document.
Of course, the MPLS-TP list contains participants from a larger number of
carriers, and they all took part in the working group last call.
You say that "...deviation should only be considered after receiving
significant input from transport network operators." That is surely wrong.
If no-one comments against a proposed technical solution then that must mean
it is accepted.
So, when this draft was liaised to the ITU-T for review during the WG last
call, the ITU-T responded by saying that:
The ITU-T SG15 experts support approval of the current draft
including the
minor editorial fixes received during IETF WG last call as
documented in
draft-ietf-mpls-tp-oam-requirements-03.txt
I think we can conclude that the operator input you talk about has been
taken.
Anyway, I think we should probably focus on the technical content of your
email.
Thanks,
Adrian
