Yes. One. And only one. Why? Let’s suppose that we choose N (or fail to choose). Different networks will make different choices. Then vendors will be forced to support all N of them. Chip manufacturers will have to support all N of them. Effectively forever. Sure, some may fail, but by that point it becomes impossible to remove the support without re-verifying the chip. So no one will. Choosing more than one is hideously inefficient for the entire industry. Our job, as an SDO, is to make a single standard. The IETF is neither a coffee klatsch nor a publishing house. Our duty is to make the tough decisions for the world. Tony _______________________________________________ spring mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/spring
