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.

OK. (After a bit of thinking I convinced myself that it is indeed not needed for unidirectional).

I agree. We can either specify it explicitely, or make a default. IMHO the only option that makes sense as a default is to connect the port inwards (in the other case, one just uses the demarcation point). Best regards, Henrik Henrik Thostrup Jensen <htj at nordu.net> Software Developer, NORDUnet
