Rohit,

I am taking te-wg off the mail list as the following
discussion pertains to OSPF WG only.

I was not present at the Atlanta IETF. But, I looked
at the work group minutes posted on 12/11. The minutes
say that MOSPF and OSPF-flooding reduction are beign dropped
from the charter. I saw no mention of alternate ospf-te
proposals from being dropped.

Same thing goes for the mailing list. I am not aware of any
discussion on the list suggesting alternate ospf-te proposals
being dropped from the charter.

If the WG charter is to cover the OSPF for TE and non-TE, the
charter must include discussion of multiple ospf-te proposals.
If the charter is written to imply that it covers Opaque LSA
based TE extensions only and no alternate ospf-te proposals, then
such an implication is not apparent and should be discussed.
katz-yeung draft has several shortcomings, hasnt completed the
IETF last call and is not an RFC yet. To presuppose the
katz-yeung draft to be the only viable TE protocol and to
exclude alternate proposals is a mistake, IMHO.

Would appreciate your posting the exact wording of the updated
charter for the WG on the mailing list.

regards,
suresh

FWIW,

The katz-yeung ospf-te draft is scheduled to go to ietf-wide last call
(if it hasn't already).

The ospf-wg charter was recently debated on the ospf mailing wrt an
update. It was also discussed extensively by me, Acee and the routing ADs
and at the ospf-wg meeting in atlanta. The charter agreed upon does not
include any work-item for alternate ospf-te proposals.
