Hi all,

We updated the GMPLS based OAM configuration framework document (draft-ietf-ccamp-oam-configuration-fwk-02).

The major changes are the following:

*) Removed the discussion on segment/tandem connection monitoring, and so fixed the scope of the document to the configuration of e2e OAM (in terms of the LSP). 

*) We added detailed text on the steps of configuring/enabling OAM entities/functions relative to Path/Resv message exchanges (Section 3).

*) Since there were concerns about the size of the OAM function flags field, the flags are now moved to a dedicated sub-TLV (Section 4.2.1) allowing extensibility.

We will submit a new document covering the configuration of segment/TCM monitoring to facilitate the discussion on the pros/cons of possible alternatives (like the scaling issues raised in Hiroshima, and the points sent by Dimitri to the list earlier).

The authors of draft-kern-ccamp-rsvp-te-sdh-otn-oam-ext and draft-bellagamba-ccamp-rsvp-te-mpls-tp-oam-ext also updated their documents to be aligned with the fwk and with each other. We think that the drafts are now in a good shape to reinitiate the poll to became WG documents. It would be good if we could poll both documents at the same time, if the chairs and the group agree.

Thanks and best regards,
Attila
