This report summarizes the key discussions and advancements made during the IETF 69 meeting held in Chicago in July 2007. It highlights the progress on UNI 2.0 and E-NNI signaling 2.0 as well as their integration with IETF's MEF service support. The report also covers collaborative work among multiple vendors and carrier labs, focuses on the control plane reliability demonstration, and elaborates on the interlayer model based on existing ASON work. Additionally, critical liaisons and responses concerning routing and signaling issues are included.

ITU-T/OIF Report IETF 69 – Chicago – July ‘07 L. Ong (Ciena) lyong@ciena.com
OIF • Met April 07 • Planned September Demo (ECOC ’07) • Multiple vendors and carrier labs • Focus on UNI and E-NNI Ethernet service support • Also demonstration of control plane reliability • Progress on UNI 2.0, E-NNI signaling 2.0 and interworking documents • Close to completion of UNI 2.0 • Incorporating IETF work on MEF service support • One liaison to this meeting • Interlayer Model – input to VCAT work in CCAMP
OIF Liaison • Interlayer Model • Based on current ASON work at ITU-T • Discusses abstraction of server layer capabilities • Possible multiplexing at client or server layer • Addressing issues and establishment of signaling adjacencies at the client layer • Some aspects of the model prototyped for Interop • Separate SONET/SDH and VCAT hierarchical layers • Differs from current VCAT draft • Allows flexible reallocation of paths to VCGs • VCAT Tspec used to identify VCAT requirements • Need something similar to proposal in VCAT draft • At SONET/SDH layer, use NVC or MT?
ITU-T • SG 15 Meeting 6/07 • Four liaisons to CCAMP • relationship between ITU and IETF • looping issue • VCAT signaling • GMPLS calls
ITU-T Liaison #1 • Response to CCAMP liaison on Cooperative Relationship • general issues • will be discussed in ITU-IETF management team meeting • concerns • Q.14 believes there is an urgent need for cooperation in completing routing extensions to meet ASON requirements • Q.14 wishes to work cooperatively with CCAMP to develop protocol solutions that are of value to the industry
ITU-T Liaison #2 & 3 • #2: Response to IETF liaison on looping • Notes ASON architecture may introduce additional issues • Hierarchical routing levels • need to understand parent vs. child relationship is critical • Concerns with Area ID-based approach • overhead of storing and passing Area IDs, • difficulty in changing an Area ID • #3: Response to IETF Liaison on VCAT draft • Notes that ITU has not seen updated draft since -02 • waiting on this for further comments
ITU-TLiaison #4 • #4: Response to IETF liaison on GMPLS Calls • Comments from reading draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-rsvp-te-call-04.txt • Call Identifier • Note Call identifier format in G.7713.x and class num in RFC 3474 for G.7713.2 • Call destination • Note UNI Transport Resource Identifier in G.8080 and class num in RFC 3476 for G.7713.2 • Equivalent should be included in future ASON applicability draft • Usage of these would not pose problems for RSVP instances that did not process calls
