Parallel discussions on the thread 'IANA considerations for RSVP' (postings by Steve Trowbridge and David Charlap) and this thread (Loa Andersson) have shed some light on a) how extensions to GMPLS protocols to satisfy ASON requirements shifted from IETF to ITU, and b) the consequences: steve>

IETF Throughput (was RE: Voting (again))

2005-04-30 Thread Ash, Gerald R \(Jerry\), ALABS
IMO the major problem to be solved is IETF throughput, takes far too long to produce RFCs, **years**, and getting worse. Unacceptably long for users of the standards. IESG is a bottleneck, well known, stated in RFC 3773 http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc3774.txt?number=3774, Section 2.6.2 "Workload of the I
