Hi Tom,
Thanks for pointing out the duplications and conflicts between draft-ietf-ccamp-layer1-types and draft-ietf-teas-yang-te-types. It is planned to solve these duplications and conflicts as follows:
- Keep the basic ODU type definitions in draft-ietf-teas-yang-te-types;
- Duplications are to be removed from draft-ietf-ccamp-layer1-types;
- draft-ietf-ccamp-layer1-types will re-use the types defined in draft-ietf-teas-yang-te-type;
- draft-ietf-ccamp-layer1-types will re-use the types defined in draft-ietf-teas-yang-te-type;
- draft-ietf-ccamp-layer1-types will define extended ODU types;
Regards,
- Xufeng

And now it would appear we have quadruplicate definitions with the
advent of
draft-ietf-ccamp-layer1-types
which has a comprehensive, and different, set of ODU (upper case) types.
