People need to understand that the purpose of the Pseudowire stuff
(PWE3) is

protocols
needed to enable migration from legacy networks to IP networks seems
to me
to be quite in the mainstream of IETF. The technical issues,
involving
creating tunnels, multiplexing sessions through tunnels, performing
service
emulation at the session endpoints, are all issues that the IETF has
taken
up in the past, there is nothing radically different going on here.
But how many of these protocols do we need? And how do we want this
done?
We are complaining that the IETF have to much work, and still we
replicate the same functionality in several WGs....
