Confusing technology dependence of current draft #24

Open ggrammel opened 1 month ago

ggrammel commented 1 month ago

The name of the draft suggests it is about gaps related to pluggable technology: draft-poidt-ccamp-actn-poi-pluggable-usecases-gaps-01 However, the title limits it to coherent technology only: Use cases, Network Scenarios and gap analysis for Packet Optical Integration (POI) with coherent plugables under ACTN Framework

Reference is made to CMIS, which covers all kind of pluggables and is not limited to a technology or media.

Routers also need to manage pluggables of non-coherent nature that can be connected to Optical line systems (e.g. PAM4). Furthermore, technology exists that uses coherent submodulated carriers which can be used in a PON structure.

It is strange to see the draft limiting itself to the combination of pluggables with coherent modulation as opposed to pluggables in general or pluggables that can be connected to Optical Line Systems.
