+1 I believe most of the time operators understand their own networks
much better than other engineers. Operators come to IETF with some
requirements, if there're multiple solutions offered, finally they
should make the choice by themselves.
"rough consensus and running code" maybe is not sufficient for
operators to have a decision of long-term deployment model,
especially the "consensus" seems not so strong so far.
This probably means the vendors fight for customers, each deploying
different not compatible solutions and CPE vendors will have to deploy
all of them in order to be able to sell to different operators.
Vendors did it in the past and it looks like we did not learn.
I understand that VendorX would like to lock his customers to his
solution, but that's a trap. A walled garden. I buy solutionX from
VendorX and can't change it in the future, because my CPE base is locked
to solutionX.
Can we please do it properly this time?
Cheers, Jan
