[Nsi-wg] Agenda for NSI workshop in Oxford

[Chin Guok]

Hi Guy,

I would like to open a discussion in Oxford on adding an optional 
constraints field that can be used for prototyping extensions while 
still being compatible with the "base" CS protocol.  For example, if the 
base CS protocol only supports point-to-point services and we wanted to 
prototype a point-to-multipoint service, we can use the optional 
constraints field to carry this information.  It can be useful to 
explore other services such as anycast/multicast/manycast, 
protection/recovery to name a few.

NSAs that are not interested in the prototyping activity can simply 
treat the field as opaque.

If folks are interested in discussing this, I can plan to come up with a 
few slides presenting the idea and some cautionary.

Thanks.

- Chin
