Re: Preparing for DMM future steps and rechartering

Alex - So, the proposal is to get rid of the MIP signaling plane and
piggyback on some routing updates, or over OpenFlow ? So, what is the
result, we use a generic non-MIP interfaces and make them look like MIP
interfaces ? What is the point ? This is DMM ?
