[Nsi-wg] Encoding & Labeltype

[Jeroen van der Ham]

Hi,

This is the decision regarding encoding and labeltype that was made for NML:


https://forge.ogf.org/sf/sfmain/do/go/artf6577 :

> NML has currently a one-to-one relation between the layer encoding (a URI to define the layer of sublayer of a specific 
> Port of Link) and the label type (a URI to define the resource label of a technology).
> 
> Proposal: (was: Option 4). Use "encoding" for layer encoding and "labeltype" for label type
> 
>  <nml:Port id="....">
>     <nml:encoding>
> http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2013/10/ethernet#802.3</nml:encoding>
> ;
>     <nml:label labeltype="
> http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2013/10/ethernet#vlan
> ">1780</nml:label>
>  </nml:Port>

There is not a one-to-one correlation, because encodings (such as Ethernet) still allow traffic without labels at all.
