Hi Nurit:

You're correct in nothing the PSN is more .1Q than anything. It is
simply a provider MAC space.

It would be possible to genericize the draft, given there is an
interested community....

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the updated draft. I believe it is useful.

I wonder what is the difference between PBT and (static) Ethernet as
PSNs as appear in your draft? As I see it, PBT is more a control concept
and not a dataplane or PSN.

Reading the draft it even seems to me that the draft defines PW over
Ethernet PSN (which is set up using PBT mode) and for that sake there is
even no difference between 802.1ad dataplane and 802.1ah. Is that true? 

Can we modify this draft to be a generic one (as it actually is) and
make it PW over Ethernet PSN?

Best regards,

Nurit.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in

      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"

      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or

      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail
readers

      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with

      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split

      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on

      how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the

Internet-Draft.
