Purpose: For information 
Body: The CCAMP Working Group of the IETF thanks you for sharing
your OTNT Work Plan and for soliciting our comments.

We have the following two points that you may want to use
to update your document.

1. Table 5-1

  This table lists standardisation activities for carrier-
  class Ethernet in various SDOs.

  The CCAMP working group has the responsibility within the
  IETF for developing common control plane and measurement 
  plane solutions for use within transport networks, and 
  layer 2 (for example, Ethernet) is within scope for our
  work. The working group has been discussing the 
  application of GMPLS protocols to the dynamic control of 
  Ethernet networks with the following results:

  a. draft-ietf-ccamp-ethernet-traffic-parameters-01.txt

    This Internet-Draft documents extensions to the RSVP-TE 
    signaling protocol to express Ethernet traffic
    parameters so that GMPLS can be used to set up Ethernet 
    LSPs and to request Ethernet services at a GMPLS UNI.
    The draft can be found at 
    http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/
    draft-ietf-ccamp-ethernet-traffic-parameters-01.txt

  b. GMPLS Ethernet Label Switching (GELS)

    The GELS effort is intended to develop a single set of 
    protocol extensions that are applicable to the 
    establishment of LSPs through an Ethernet network.

    Currently there are several proposals of what type of
    Ethernet network may benefit from this type of control
    plane, and the appropriateness of each proposed data 
    plane will be verified with the IEEE before CCAMP 
    attempts to apply a control plane.

    Currently there are several individual submission
    Internet-Drafts that have started to lay out the 
    requirements and potential solutions for the GMPLS 
    protocol extensions.

2. Table 7-1

  Table 7-1 provides a long list of related OTNT industry 
  standards and specifications.

  a. GMPLS and Optical-Related RFCs

    We would like to suggest some additions to this list
    from the IETF as follows:

    RFC 4873 : GMPLS Segment Recovery

  b. GMPLS and Optical-Related Internet-Drafts

    We welcome your listing of Internet-Drafts for related
    work. We make the following observations:

    i.  All Internet-Drafts should be identified as "work 
        in progress". This request is made, as standard, by
        the IETF in the following boilerplate text at the
        head of every Internet-Draft...

          Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a 
          maximum of six months and may be updated, 
          replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
          time.  It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts
          as reference material or to cite them other than 
          as "work in progress."

    ii. The following Internet-Drafts in Table 7-1 have
        been replaced with RFCs as listed above:

        draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-tc-mib
        draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-te-mib
        draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-lsr-mib
        draft-ietf-ccamp-rsvp-te-exclude-route
        draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-alarm-spec
        draft-ietf-ccamp-inter-domain-framework
        draft-ietf-ccamp-loose-path-reopt
        draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-ason-routing-eval

  e. MPLS and Packet-related RFCs and Internet-Drafts

    We suggest that in the light of the recent work within 
    the ITU-T related to packet transport networks
    including, but not limited to, pseudowires and T-MPLS, 
    you may wish to contact Mr. Loa Andersson who is IETF 
    liaison to the ITU-T on MPLS to see what new and 
    relevant MPLS RFCs and Internet-Drafts have been
    published.
