---- Original Message ----- From: "Martin J. Dürst" <duerst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <rbonica@xxxxxxxxxxx>; "IETF list" <ietf@xxxxxxxx>; <dromasca@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 3:29 AM It would be good if all announcements for new mailing lists came with a purpose or description. Not everybody knows what 'oam' means, and it would save people quite a bit of their time if they wouldn't have to look it up. <tp> Ah, when I saw this, I immediately thought of the turf wars over just what this acronym (or whatever) does mean. The IETF has a traditional meaning which is now being elbowed aside by the ITU-T, for whom the mpls-tp based work is a suitable Trojan Horse, so, without looking at the description, I immediately assumed that this is another step in the ITU-T takeover:-) RFC4878 gives you one slant while RFC4377 is another and draft-ietf-opsawg-mpls-tp-oam-def puts a few nails in the coffin. Tom Petch </tp> Thanks and regards, Martin.
