All,
Section 1,1 also contains the text:
[RFC5317] includes the analysis that "it is technically feasible that
the existing MPLS architecture can be extended to meet the
requirements of a Transport profile, and that the architecture allows
for a single OAM technology for LSPs, PWs, and a deeply nested
network."
This is a quote from slide 113 in the PDF version of RFC5317 and should
be read in realtion to the statement on slide 12 of the same RFC:
"This presentation is a collection of assumptions, discussion points
and decisions that the combined group has had during the months of
March and April, 2008
This represents the *agreed upon starting point* for the technical
analysis of the T-MPLS requirements from the ITU-T and the MPLS
architecture to meet those requirements"
So the quoted text in the draft is one of the assumptions.
The fact that there are currently *two* OAM mechanisms (and not a
*single*), i.e. one for PW and one for LSP proves that the assumption
was not correct.
