Loa,
YES, but there are only someone (not organization-that's a individual draft
and MEAD team-not ietf mpls group or ietf group, which has been disbanded by
themselves one years ago) make decision to done a single solution!

Feng,
there were only one organization invbolved in the decision to develop two OAM
solutions!

Dear Loa,
Life is not simple, mpls-tp is joint developed by IETF and ITU-T, so it
is complicated, the decision should be done by two orgnizations.
There are many errors about in this draft as many, for example, Rolf,
Huub, Malcolm, Tom Petch and I, point out in emails, it is a bad draft, it
should be stop.

Rolf,
are you saying that if we just liaise RFC1958 to the ITU-T they will stop
developing a competing OAM for MPLS?
Sometimes the life is simple, though I doubt that it is this simple.
My 2c's is that this a good draft and should be progressed.

Hi,
I think Brian makes an excellent point here. RFC 1958 already contains
exactly the same basic message (just with far less (unnecessary) words). I
don't think we need this document as it doesn't really add anything to what
RFC 1958 says. I'll provide a more detailed review later.
Best,
Rolf

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.
I'm sorry, I don't understand your logic. You seem to be saying that
the fact that two solutions have been designed proves that the
assumption that a single solution is possible was false. That
doesn't follow at all. The engineering profession has a long history
of producing multiple solutions where a single one was possible, and
this seems to be just another such case.
This isn't news. I quote from RFC 1958 (June 1996):
" 3.2 If there are several ways of doing the same thing, choose one.
If a previous design, in the Internet context or elsewhere, has
successfully solved the same problem, choose the same solution
unless
there is a good technical reason not to. Duplication of the same
protocol functionality should be avoided as far as possible, without
of course using this argument to reject improvements."
