Re: [Nsi-wg] [Nml-wg] Conversation about ITU concepts with Ciena folks

Thanks for pointing this out - I have misunderstood the definition/use of transitional links. But now I really have a problem seeing the point of NML using transitional links. Re-reading I wonder if this is perhaps a concept only required for George's path computation on a 'flattened multi-layer topology' idea? This is what he says about this:

I think that one of the NSI use-cases for the NML schema is that it should be able to provide a topology for pathfinding. One that is as abstract and simplified as possible, while still allowing for multi-layer pathfinding. I'm not sure wheter the Transitional Link is a good solution for this or not. We should try to pursue this idea further. Jeroen.
