Hi Paul, Sorry i haven't yet participated in the OCP Telco group. But, this work can/does apply to Telco/SPs as well.
Having said that, the goal of this OCP-Networking proposal / sub-group is *not* only to create requirements but contribute working code as well ; (hopefully from many participants including ourselves). Does OCP-Telco plan to to host/provide 'working reference code ' as part of its charter ?
