IEEE1588 worked with a number of organizations to map PTP over their protocols.

It seems unlikely that IEEE would object to the definition of a mapping to MPLS if the consensus was that this was the best way to carry PTP over an MPLS network.

Obviously we should ask before publishing a specification, but the most important starting point is to figure out the best technical solution to the problem in hand.

Yup, thats what i had meant - that it would require getting IEEE involved and we should only tread down that path if its really really required.

    Manav,

    Can you please provide a bit more background to the statement:

    /I believe we had discussed that IETF cannot define new
    encapsulations in Prague?/

    This is probably true that it would require a stamp of approval
    from IEEE but that needs to be verified.
