RE: DPD & DPV requirements - Let us Recurse



Mike,

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.

We'll see what the group says, but for now I am assuming that ASN.1-based DPD and DPV servers will exhibit considerable mechanism and maybe message format overlap.
