Hello,
As agreed on the last OGF, Jeroen and I have worked on the definitions of Adaptation, Adaptation Function and Adaptation Services.
We propose four definitions to describe adaptation between network layers:
Definitions: * Layer: A collection of Ports with common Characteristic Information (Characteristic Information is defined in ITU-T G800; we envision sublayers to be a separate layer too, but this is really up to technology-specific extensions).
So to describe a Layer you have to describe all the Ports that the Layer includes? How would we use that exactly? Will the tagged ethernet layer (to name an example) include all the Ports in the topology that support that functionality?
