Subject: orientation

Henrik,

Looking up my documentation on orientation I see that I came up with this definition:

Orientation

· Orientation attribute is used to assign a direction to a bidirectional STP to remove ambiguity when performing path computation. Orientation type is ingress or egress. Ingress/Egress is relative to the Network.

See the attached document for discussion, but I think that we can drop the orientation attribute as there are other ways of solving the problem.
