RE: Shorter msg for add reservations

I'm not familiar with the short header work and can't judge its usefulness
for burst switching.  Can they be used in a bulk message (multiple adds for
example)?

As promised a specific message on header compression.

So, what do people think?

Should there be a general mechanism inserted similar to the short headers we
removed over 2 years ago?  Some new sort of header compression?

Should there be a new mechanism related solely to reservations. I.e. a new
add-reservation message is created that includes only

[vers, sub, msg type, result, code]
[partition id, transaction id]
[reservation id]
[I, submsg, length]  or is this needed - though we may be able to
                                use a bulk mechanism for other add-resv 
uses

anything else?   and is this still too big?

And does the reservation message need to  changed
to allow for these complete reservations.  What, if anything needs to be
added to the reservation message?

Opinions?  suggestions?

Please, speak up. As an editor, I am am working on the
update for the upcoming meeting at the moment, and need guidance.

As a co-chair, I would like to know if there is consensus on making such a
change.

I encourage the Optical draft team to discuss their rationale and needs on
the list in response to this message.

note: since i am functioning as a co-chair and editor, any process issues
that may arise from this dual role will be handled by the other co-chair
