A crankback TLV is suggested in Section 4.3. While crankback is a desirable extension to both CR-LDP and RSVP-TE (and required by ASON), the proposal ignores the prior work done in http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iwata-mpls-crankback-04.txt. The advantages of the proposed method shou

Also, I'm not sure it's a great approach for vendors to decide which 'GMPLS extensions' to implement based on 2 versions of GMPLS (IETF and ITU), and also based on what operators ask for (it still sounds like we're getting 2 versions of GMPLS). > Hope this answers yo

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
