Ping:

I am specifically concerned that although this tool may be percieved as useful, it really has very limited applicability, it assumes a specific MPLS payload and a specific control plane. How many of these mechanisms do we wish to support before we finally have a comprehensive toolkit?

IMHO It would be a whole lot more useful if we just tackled the problem in its entirety instead of via the incremental approach we have seen to date.

One group of authors (Neil Harrison and company) has a requirements draft posted already, and we'll be bringing forward a framework to London that builds upon it (to be posted later this week), Perhaps we can start to put these problems to bed a bit more systematically....

cheers
Dave
