Alessandro, Stewart and all,
I concur with Stewart: please write a draft detailing your major technical
concerns.
I'd like to add a quote from Malcolm's presentation at the IETF meeting in
Prague:
"Differences <between the solution approved by the IETF and its ITU-T
sponsored alternatives - Sasha> are close to invisible at the level of
the requirements in RFC5860".
Just to remind you that RFC 5680 is the MPLS-TP OAM requirements document.
Malcolm has also said:
"Many of the issues only become apparent when the protocol and
equipment behavior is explored"
but, AFAIK, these issues have never been explicitly brought for the
consideration.
My 2c,
Sasha

Alessandro
Please can I suggest that you write an internet draft detailing
these "major unresolved technical concerns" so that we
can all understand them.
Such a draft needs to be technical, and describe the actions
that the network operator is unable to perform, or the fault
cases that they are unable to diagnose using the OAM defined
in the IETF RFCs, or late stage WG drafts.
Alternatively if you are referring to a bug in the MPLS-TP
OAM protocols, you need to tell the community what it is.
I believe that this request has been made a number of
times, in various forums, and, as far as I know, no document
has yet been produced.
An argument of the form "you must standardize what I want"
will not fly. What is needed is a very clear technical definition
of the issue(s).
When we have the "major unresolved technical concerns"
on the table, we will be in a position to determine the best
disposition of those issues.
Stewart
