Re: proposal for the introduction of Global Identifiers for lightpaths

[Eoin Kenny <Eoin.Kenny@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ronald,

I don't know if you have already considered and dismissed the ITU
standard for labeling international circuits. If you have not the link
below may be of interest.

http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-M.1400-200607-I/en

The standard can get very verbose if you wish but the basic layer 1
building block is quite simple. See table 1/M1400.

Regards
Eoin
