Hi John,

I am not sure if I've got your point here about G.709 and the way it is linked
to the liason stuff. ITU-T defined G.709 as another circuit technology to
transport bits from A to B. It is similar to SDH/SONET and falls into the ASON
scope. Applying GMPLS on G.709 is straight forward and I am not aware of any
specific open issues here.
In SDH/SONET some of the involved guys were trying to include non-standard
SDH/SONET features in the ietf-draft, meaning those not explicitly mentioned in
G.707. This caused of course a lot of friction. In contrast to that, the G.709
authors team is committed to remove everything from
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-g709-03.txt which is
not covered by G.709. In this sense it has the potential to become a boiler
plate for tight collaboration.
So why do you think this work should be depreciated in CCAMP?

Regards

Gert
