RE: [mpls] Last Call: draft-ietf-mpls-tp-framework (A Framework forMPLS in Transport Networks) to Informational RFC

 Tom,

Thanks for your comment.

3.4.1 says

"The data plane behaviour of MPLS-TP is the same as the best current
   practise for MPLS.  This includes the setting of the S-Bit.  "

Without a reference, or any detail, I think this can only 
muddy the waters.  How do I know that your best practice is 
my best practice, or his?


This is intended to reflect the interpretation of RFC3031 that is commonly 
deployed. While it is technically possible to have the S-bit set more than 
once, this is not how it is widely done. We have used the term Best Current 
Practice in the same sense that it is referred to in RFC2026. 

draft-ietf-mpls-tp-data-plane-02.txt provides a standards track reference for 
this behavior.

Best regards,

Matthew, Stewart and Dan



Tom Petch
