RE: DPD & DPV requirements - Let us Recurse

["Michael Myers" <myers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

It is precisely this overlap that led to the existence and architecture of
the current DPV and DPD drafts, namely that a DPD server was simply tapping
into the path discovery logic that a DPV server must execute.

Care must taken however as we go forward with high-level requirements to
ensure that a DPD server delivers up that path a DPV server would have used.
Or are we otherwise comfortable that some ambiguity may emerge?  This was an
open question that we as DPV and DPD authors were and are grappling with.

I am open to the suggestion that we further separate DPV vs. DPD
requirements, to make each clearer, although my impressions, after
some thinking, are that these two types of servers are more alike
than I had originally imagined.
