Luca, and all,
I concur with Andy's opinion that the reference to RFC 4447 must become
Normative (this will not delay the publication is too often the case:-).
As for Informational vs. Historical, I think that Informational is more
appropriate because, AFAIK, the technique defined in draft-kompella is not just
a documenting an existing solution - it describes is THE ONLY deployed solution
for the problem. (If this statement happens to be factually incorrect, I would
be happy to learn about the deployed alternatives.)
Regards,
Sasha

I concurr with Andy.
Given that the WG has made a decision on which control plane technology
is the standard track technology we should have a statement in this
document pointing to the standard track rfc4447 so it is clear to anyone
reading the document.
In the same way we published the draft-martini documents as historical
ee should publish this document as historical rfc, to document existing
implementations.

Speaking as an individual, the solution in this draft has been has

Speaking as PWE3 co-chair, I would be happier if this draft required
that routers that implement this solution also implement RFC 4447,
that RFC 4447 be configured as the default mechanism for pseudowire
signaling, and that RFC 4447 was moved from an informational to a
normative reference. In practice, I know that routers that implement
this also do implement RFC 4447, but I would like to see it in the RFC
as well.
Thanks,

final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the

Abstract
Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs) based on Frame Relay or ATM
circuits have been around a long time; more recently, Ethernet VPNs,
including Virtual Private LAN Service, have become popular.
Traditional L2VPNs often required a separate Service Provider
infrastructure for each type, and yet another for the Internet and IP
VPNs. In addition, L2VPN provisioning was cumbersome. This document
presents a new approach to the problem of offering L2VPN services
where the L2VPN customer's experience is virtually identical to that
offered by traditional Layer 2 VPNs, but such that a Service Provider
can maintain a single network for L2VPNs, IP VPNs and the Internet,
as well as a common provisioning methodology for all services.
