[Nsi-wg] updated STP proposal

[Guy Roberts]

Hi Jeroen,

Thanks for taking time to review the STP  proposal.  Some feedback to your questions:
"- Why has the definition of the local id been changed? The last I heard was that these would be full URNs which could be mapped separately to NML Port identifiers."
 I don't see why the localId needs to be a full URN.  The full URN can be easily resolved by looking at both the localId and the NetworkId.  Could you please explain this requirement further?

"- Why has the definition of an STP changed? Last I heard these would be uni-directional to be able to map to NML Ports, and this would also solve the ERO direction ambiguity."
I tried to pitch the STP as a grouping of 2 uni-directional ports, but no one in the working group liked this (except for NML to make their mapping easier), so it was dropped.

Guy

Hi,

I'm trying to catch up on the progress since I went on holiday, so please allow me to ask some obvious questions:

- Why has the definition of the local id been changed? The last I heard was that these would be full URNs which could be mapped separately to NML Port identifiers.
- Why has the definition of an STP changed? Last I heard these would be uni-directional to be able to map to NML Ports, and this would also solve the ERO direction ambiguity.

Jeroen.
