IESG, I do *NOT* support this draft unless the following changes are made: The first paragraph of section 8 Acknowledgements has to be removed: It is an attempt to capture history, but lacks accuracy. Removal does not impact the technical information in the draft; the tools have evolved significantly from the strawman tools proposed in Stockholm; some members of the MEAD team (I am one of them) do not consider that an agreement on this proposal was reached. I also request the removal of my name from this acknowledgements section since I do not support this tool set, neither as an individual nor as ITU-T Q10 rapporteur. The latter is implied by mentioning my name in the same sentence as a WG chair and ADs. Regards, Huub. =============
The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'An Overview of the OAM Tool Set for MPLS based Transport Networks' <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-oam-analysis-08.txt> as an Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@xxxxxxxx mailing lists by 2012-03-23. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@xxxxxxxx instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document provides an overview of the OAM toolset for MPLS based Transport Networks. The toolset consists of a comprehensive set of fault management and performance monitoring capabilities (operating in the data-plane) which are appropriate for transport networks as required in RFC 5860 and support the network and services at different nested levels. This overview includes a brief recap of MPLS-TP OAM requirements and functions, and of generic mechanisms created in the MPLS data plane to allow the OAM packets run in-band and share their fate with data packets. The protocol definitions for each of the MPLS-TP OAM tools are defined in separate documents (RFCs or Working Group drafts) which are referenced by this document. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-oam-analysis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-oam-analysis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
