<p class="MsoNormal">Guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a long term member of the CESG I do agree that you can kick it “upstairs” to the CESG and have, I believe, a hope of getting a sensible response (most of the time). Heck, we are human and therefore fallible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From my own point of view I recommend doing two things:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">As I understand it, they are different protocols, hence not “backward compatible”. Using the “version” option, including, in this case, adopting some explicit name extension like
LTPv2 makes the most sense to me. The rationale for that is that what you plan to produce is not backward compatible with v1. In other words, there is no way to configure V2, without the new options, and still have a v1 implementation accept it.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Silverize the v1 book. This is normally done when a new protocol version is created. The old silver book will still be available and it may be referenced with its (new) silver name
and number. This has happened before with other specs. It is not unusual for some mission to nail their interface to some specific version of a document, even, in some cases, a Red Book (which is really dangerous since they are likely to change).
<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you want to discuss this further please let me know. And it you do decide to send it to the CESG you now know where I stand, and why. Of course, if any of my assumptions are flawed I am happy to be corrected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers, Peter<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I agree with your point on troubles in maintaining two books and the fact that this will imply the same treatment for BPv7. Then whether agencies are happy to refer to a silver book rather than a blue book is a bit question
mark in my opinion. I remember we decided a few years ago not to silverize SCPS-TP exactly because there were activities or usage of the corresponding blue book.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-GB">We can certainly bring this matter to the next CESG meeting, although I fear that there might be no strict decision in this regard, since I think there is no specific rule again either approaches and the hot potato could
be sent back to WG.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Then probably we should better keep two books, one with the “old LTP” for which we’ll do some pink sheets to fix some inconsistencies and another one (the new LTP). In such a away we could have two versions of LTP available,
similarly to IPv4 and IPv6 in IETF. Probably we may have to slightly change the title of the books (v1 and v2?) to have a clear demarcation between the two version of the protocols and avoid any ambiguity.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal">Also, I will note that some colleagues at JPL (I have similar concerns) do not really like the idea of turning the current version of LTP into a silver book. The problem is that, by definition, a silver book implies that a protocol is
deprecated or obsolete, but several systems that are being built today use BPv6+LTP or BPv7+LTP and thus might be in operation for a long time. So, essentially, we are “telling” industry that they have developed an already obsolete standard?<o:p></o:p></p>
