RE: GSMPv3 and DSL

Avri, thanks for posting this document.

I believe that the core group of folks who worked on this topic in the
DSLF are now registered on the gsmp mailing list.

I would guess that the folks on this mailing list not familiar with the
overall L2-control topic will have quite a few questions after reading
the DSLF document. We'll be happy to answer any question.

In the mean time, we started to work on the outline of a possible
internet-draft (actually several I-Ds) identifying a GSMP mapping of the
DSLF use cases with GSMP messages, and protocol enhancements which
appear necessary to make the use cases fully work. We'll share these
I-Ds on this list when they will be a bit more mature.

Subject: [GSMP] GSMPv3 and DSL

Hi,

I received a draft from participants at the DSL forum related to the=20
use of GSMP for DSL purposes.  As I understand it, this is not an=20
official DSL position or draft, but is still in investigation.  While=20
speaking with Dave Allan last week at the IETF, he suggested posting a=20
copy of it to this list for discussion.

A few of us are thinking about reviving the GSMP work, but not the=20
group, in order to work on the connection between GSMPv3 and the DSLF=20
and to add support for DSL ports and GigE uplinks.  Anyone interested=20
in participating is welcome to do so, and good place to start is to=20
review and comment on the enclosed.

cheers
a.
