Loa: Right now, there is no ITU-T approved document to reference. I am certainly not an expert on ITU-T process, but my understanding is that earliest that we could see an approved G.8113.1 is December 2012. My point is that we don't want to assign a code point until the ITU-T approves their document. However, if we are willing to assign a code point to G.8113.1 once it is approved, then this would be an approach where the code point assignment would block on the approval of the normative reference. I like this approach from the political point of view. With this approach the IETF tells the ITU-T that if and only if they are able to achieve consensus on G.8113.1, then a code point will be assigned.

That is, if the document contained a normative reference to the approved G.8113.1, then the document that makes the code point allocations would sit in the RFC Editor queue until the ITU-T reaches consensus and approves G.8113.1. >> >> Russ >> >> >> On Mar 1, 2012, at 10:14 AM, Kyung-Yeop Hong (hongk) wrote: >> >>> No/do not support. >>> >>> One of the issues with G.8113.1 in LS370 is its stability and maturity. >>> That was one of the reasons why it was not approved. >>> >>> The Ethernet based OAM protocol documented in the LS370 version is >>> intended to be deployed for MPLS networks.
