Hi All, 

Thanks for all the feedback so far. Please find a new version of the
document:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-farrkingel-pce-abno-architecture-01

Updates include:

- Clarification of scope (>data center and CDN)
- Updates to architecture model 
- Discussing implementation of the architecture
- Placeholder for survivability and redundancy
- General readability and nit fixes

We know several people are working on text for additional use cases, and we
look forward to seeing those contributions!

Br, Dan & Adrian.

Subject: RE: [i2rs] A new draft on an architecture for application-based
network operations

Hi Med,

Thanks for your comments.

Because you responded on the I2RS list, I will as well, but maybe we should
take this off-list to avoid gumming up the charter discussions with
something that is pretty-much off-topic.

In short, you are right that there are commercial and administrative
policies that come into play. If I recall right, your I-D was by way of an
applicability statement showing how the PCE blocks could fit together. It
might be interesting to review your work in the light of hierarchical PCE to
see how that all bolts together.

We will look at how we can add some further explanation of the interactions
of policy in this process to the example in Section 3.1 (without turning
this into a full and detailed blow-by-blow explanation). Would surely
welcome your input.

You ask what value is added by the I2RS approach to the inter-AS setup
described in Section 3.1. My answer: none. And that is why the example in
3.1 does not mention I2RS.

Cheers,
Adrian
