Re: [DMM] Question about Interface Groups (formerly, DPN Groups)

Hello Lyle, I am sorry to say that I don't understand your explanation. To start with, I didn't mean to have a direct mapping between Interface Groups and 3GPP features.  Instead, I would like to suggest that Interface Groups are defined/configured/populated to make it easier to support fea

Hello Lyle, Thanks for the detailed reply.  It clears up a lot of questions in my mind.  To briefly reply: - The reason I was asking about whether or not an Interface Group lived on a DPN was to help me figure out how to structure the Interface Group definition.  It's already structured as a

Your scenarios are correct. I think we are in agreement but I want to clarify a few things: Wrt your statement “(b) it makes good sense for all the Interfaces of an Interface Group to be hosted on the same DPN.” Ack. I agree when the required interfaces within an Interface Group can be hoste

Hello Lyle, I agree that: 1. - Interface Groups are designed to be used to select DPN. 2. - Interface Groups may contain a number of different Interface Types 3. - There may be more than one Interface Group providing equivalent service, at least for the purpose of selecting a DPN. For (1) --

k. I think that we are crossing conversations now. “An Interface Group on a DPN would also have have attributes for Peer Interface Groups residing on other DPNs. ” < Did not see that. Interface Groups (aka DPN Groups) can be used for DPN pool selection (multiple options) with a different interf

Hello Lyle, An Interface Group on a DPN would also have have attributes for Peer Interface Groups residing on other DPNs.  So, the data plane configuration can already exhibit the ("cross-DPN") interconnection between Interface Groups even if the interfaces of the Group all reside on the same
