That is, except for getting general clue on what's going on -- and putting a pinch of salt as the view one sees may not necessarily be representative. It's a two way street; vendors need to listen to the ops folks. Ops folks need to participate in the IETF. Yeah, it's often quite frustrating, especially when the vendors have already "packed the rooms" and most ops who came around {don't want to, cant'} spend energy fighting that. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
