I haven't been following the MPSL OAM stuff. In the field of Ethernet OAM, IEEE 802.1ag and ITU Y.1731 are mostly compatable with differences in object names. Y.1731 provides extra features to 802.1g, such as performance management. Does anyone one the list have a snappy summary of the differences between Ethernet OAM and MPLS OAM?

But we've seen this before. The most recent previous case I can think of is IETF TRILL vs. ITU 802.1aq. As with MPLS, it's not obvious that these are standards for the Internet as opposed to standards for something else.
That would be the IEEE for 802.1aq. It's also not the first time competing standards have happened - including within IETF itself. _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog This email and attachments: are confidential; may be protected by privilege and copyright; if received in error may not be used,copied, or kept; are not guaranteed to be virus-free; may not express the views of Kordia(R); do not designate an information system; and do not give rise to any liability for Kordia(R).
