RE: CORRECTION: Last Call: CR-LDP Extensions for ASON to Informational

2003-01-02 11:24:18
A crankback TLV is suggested in Section 4.3.  While crankback is a desirable 
extension to both CR-LDP and RSVP-TE (and required by ASON), the proposal 
ignores the prior work done in 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iwata-mpls-crankback-04.txt.  The 
advantages of the proposed method should be identified and justified.  

Furthermore, crankback is not yet within the charter of any IETF Working Group, 
although this has been proposed (e.g., the IETF-54/CCAMP minutes state 'The 
charter update is way overdue. Items may be added - protection/restoration, 
crankback and multi-area operations'). It seems inappropriate to specify a 
particular crankback extension independent of the possible future work of an 
IETF Working Group.

Subject: CORRECTION: Last Call: CR-LDP Extensions for ASON to
Informational

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A TWO WEEK LAST CALL.**

The IESG has received a request to consider CR-LDP Extensions for ASON 
<draft-aboulmagd-ccamp-crldp-ason-ext-02.txt> as an Informational RFC.  
This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF 
Working Group.

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action.  Please send any comments to the 
iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org or ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2003-1-15.
