Jim, Thanks for the heads-up.
Please ensure that any BOF you hold does not conflict with either the MPLS or CCAMP working group meetins. I predict that many people will wish to attend all three meetings. After a preliminary reading of draft-chakravorty-6lsa-01.txt it seems to me that what you are suggesting has massive overlap with MPLS and GMPLS. That you are proposing a form of layer 3 switching which is not part of MPLS or GMPLS (but which has been suggested at several previous IETF meetings) is a fairly minor fact since the data plane operation of swapping and switching is unchanged. That is, you are proposing a new form of labeling. The bigger difference comes in how the labels are distributed, and in this context, one might ask what is wrong with existing label distribution schemes. But clearly I need to read in more detail.

It provides a solution for IPv6 Label Switch Architecture that does not compete with MPLS or QOS work in progress in the industry at ITU, etc. http://ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-chakravorty-6lsa-01.txt If some of you would do me a favor and review and send comments to Sham Chakravorty [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], and Kevin Zhang [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would appreciate it. We will have a BOF most likely on 6LSA at the Paris meeting to see if this would be its own working group. We will set up industry list for technical persons to work on it until then if we get enough responses. I am pretty sure we should do this here in the IETF not go to the ITU. Also we will be at the Minneapolis IETF so if you have in person comments that is appreciate too.
