ITU-T SG 15 for Action ITU-T SG2 for Information As we informed ITU-T in a recent liaison (ref # 056.01) the MPLS working group as part of MPLS-TP adopted draft-ietf-mpls-tp-itu-t-identifiers-00 as a working group document. The purpose of this document is to specify how MPLS-TP objects can be identified using identifiers based on ITU-T Carrier Codes (ICCs). The intention is to advance this document for publication as an RFC that can be referenced from ITU-T MPLS-TP Recommendations. In the course of this work we have found that we need globally unique identifiers and we understand that the ICC is not globally unique. Can you please confirm to us that ICCs are guaranteed unique within a country, and that combining an ICC with a country code is an appropriate way to use produce a globally unique identifier. Please also indicate to us the ITU-T Recommendations that we can use as normative references in support of this approach. Loa Andersson George Swallow Ross Callon MPLS Working Group co-chairs |
