Hi all, I think a new object type could be better and simple.

This email is to document the discussion for the benefit of the mailing list. See [JEH-MC] comments below. We have one question for the WG, as follows. If anyone has an opinion on this, please could you provide it to the mailing list? --- [JEH-MC] Jon believes that this draft should relax the restriction of RFC 5440 that the BANDWIDTH object is mandatory, in the case where a GENERALIZED-BANDWIDTH is supplied instead. This would mean changing existing procedures, the initial mechanism was not to change RFC5440 object presence rule. Cyril is fine with the proposal from Jonathan, but we would like to get WG and implementers feedback. Jon, Cyril, all In this case, I would go back to one of my initial suggestions: do not add GENERALIZED_BANDWIDTH and add a TLV to the BW objects, which can be ignored. In other words, the creation of GEN_BW was justified due to: a) do not touch rfc5440 b) if RFC5440 does not state that BW object can have TLVs, then they can't and it is fixed length. My personal preference always was to add a TLV or a new object type for BW. If we allow ourselves a liberal interpretation of rfc5440 then let's assume we can add a tlv... Just my opinion, of course, and not a particularly strong one Ramon -- Ramon Casellas, Ph.D. -- Senior Research Associate -- Networks Division Optical Networks and Systems Department -- http://wikiona.cttc.es CTTC - Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya Parc Mediterrani de la Tecnologia (PMT) - Edifici B4 Av.
