At last years ITU Plenipotentiary meeting the ITU committed by resolution to working with the organisations they name, ICANN, RIRs, IETF, W3C specifically on Internet Protocol standards. I think we should demand ITU abide by the rules they have made. Keith On 30/08/2011 4:03 p.m., bmanning(a)vacation.karoshi.com wrote:
SG15 ignored the standing agreement between the ITU and the IETF on control of the MPLS standard. Having looked at both, in depth, I'd suggest that the IETF spec is more resilient and scales better than the ITU spec. Regardless, the market is unlikely to want/need both and if both exist then vendors are going to include both, inducing code bloat, unused code paths, increased development and support costs which will be passed on to the consumers.
YMMV of course.
