HI Victor, My feeling is that the Stitching Framework (SF) developed in GN2 JRA3 is part of a pathfinding function. (I think of it as a kind of Traffic Engineering extension to pathfinding). In theory G.800 (if it is a fully generic schema for describing networks) should support any type of pathfinding and also the SF. I think it is out of the scope of NSI to nominate the pathfinding method used by the Network Service Agents.

As I and others are looking at the Stitching Framework, it will be interesting to see how this standard maps the SF. Luckily the ideas are quite similar (it is a unified approach and there is a close 1 to 1 mapping of some the relevant definitions, but there will be some difference of course and we need see how to map these). It would be nice to know if we indeed want to go this way of G.80x in NSI. Ideas? By the way the Stitching Framework is in G.800 speak: about finding out what LI (Layer Information) makes sure that the Layer processor function can function at an interdomain level ('interdomain' is not defined in G.800 I think, so it is perhaps a specific abstracted 'layer relationship'). All the best, Victor Guy Roberts wrote:
