proposal for the introduction of Global Identifiers for lightpaths

[Ronald van der Pol <rvdp@xxxxxxx>]

All,

During the Tech WG meeting in Honolulu in January a Task Force for
Global Identifiers for lightpaths was setup. The task force was
asked to make a proposal for a naming scheme for lightpaths.

Attached is the proposal of the task force. This proposal will be
presented at the GLIF meeting in Seattle in October. But we like
to get feedback from the community before the meeting. We hope
to reach a decision in Seattle because the operational need for
global identifiers for lightpaths is high. For outages and
announcements of planned work we need a way to uniquely identify
the lightpath(s) we are talking about.

Please give us your feedback.
