Hi Charles, 

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts! You have clearly got the key points of the APN work, which made me extremely happy and cheered me up that I was actually being understood. 

I fully agree with you, and you are very welcomed to work together on these items. 

Besides the items we may also want to consider the control and management plane protocol extensions. 

Thank you and Cheers! 

Best Regards, 
Shuping
