I support the allocation of an ACH codepoint to G.8113.1.
For G.8113.1 had reached the technical and industry maturity to be
assigned a code point, the codepoint allocation from IETF should allow
the ITU-T to progress refinements to G.8113.1 such that it could
satisfy all the functional requirements defined in RFC 5860.
Please can you tell me version of the G.8113.1 text one would
need to implement to be able to seamlessly interwork with the
equipment that has already been been deployed?

I am sure you already know the answer to that from posts made to the mpls list,
where we have been told that there is currently an extensive deployment
('running code') using an experimental value (interesting that there is a last
call just ending seeking to exterminate such practice, at least for application
protocols) and that the wish is to move to a standards-based value which will,
perforce, be a different value.

Tom,

I don't think you understood my question.

There are several version of the G.8113.1 text in circulation within
the ITU-T. I was asking which version accurately describes the
deployed protocol.

I would be interested to also know what ACh Type it is actually running
on.

Stewart
