The way this draft has been developed is a bit strange. The poll for its adoption as a WG document was halted by the MPLS WG chair because "it is not possible to judge consensus": http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/mpls/current/msg04502.html The lack of consensus was motivated by serious technical concerns raised by several transport experts during the poll. Nevertheless the MPLS WG chair decided to adopt the draft as a WG document: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/mpls/current/msg04512.html After several WG revisions and WG LCs, the technical issues have not been resolved. >Several service providers regarded this draft as not meeting their transport networks' needs. This is a true statement: the solution in this draft is useless for many MPLS- TP deployments. >----Messaggio originale---- >Da: RCosta@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Data: 5-lug-2011 0.02 >A: "ietf@xxxxxxxx"<ietf@xxxxxxxx>, "IETF-Announce"<ietf-announce@xxxxxxxx> >Cc: "mpls@xxxxxxxx"<mpls@xxxxxxxx> >Ogg: Re: [mpls] Last Call: <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-cc-cv-rdi-05.txt> (Proactive Connectivity Verification, Continuity Check and Remote Defect indication for MPLS Transport Profile) to Proposed Standard > >IMHO and for the record: > >ITU-T comments regarding this draft haven't been discussed with ITU-T but were simply ignored.
