Ralph,
As far as I can tell this seems to describe some sort of a Layer 2 stateful
per-flow QoS mechanism using new Ethertype headers. As such I don't see why
the IETF would care. The point of it escapes me, since we have plenty of reason
to believe that such solutions are impractical and do not scale, but that
doesn't
seem like our problem.
I only looked at this to check if it impacted current work in 6MAN on
the IPv6 Flow Label, and there doesn't appear to be any impact or relevance.
Regards
Brian Carpenter

The IETF has recently received a liaison from ITU-T Q5/SG-11 regarding a
Draft Recommendation. That liaison is available as
https://datatracker.ietf.org/liaison/1054/. The official liaison is
available at https://datatracker.ietf.org/documents/LIAISON/file1232.pdf.
The liaison asks for IETF review of Draft Recommendation "Signalling
protocols and procedures relating to Flow State Aware QoS control in a
bounded sub-network of a NGN", which is available at
https://datatracker.ietf.org/documents/LIAISON/file1231.pdf. This note opens
an IETF comment period on the document, ending midnight, anywhere on earth,
2011/7/5. After the comment period, a summary will be prepared and returned
in a liaison to ITU-T Q5/SG-11.
Of specific interest to the IETF are any ways in which the "signalling
protocols and procedures" defined in the Draft Recommendation might interact
with existing IETF Internet protocols. We are especially interested in
potential adverse interactions or interference with IETF Internet protocols.
The technical merits of the "signalling protocols and procedures" defined in
the Draft Recommendation are of interest inasmuch as the IETF community might
provide technical advice and recommendations to improve the Draft
Recommendation itself.
Please respond with any comments on the Draft Recommendation to
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org. Thanks in advance for your review of the Draft
Recommendation.
