Re: [aqm] CoDel: After much ado ...

Mirja,

Thanks for you review -- apologies for not addressing everything. I had
left a few things out as not necessary to change the draft, but we've now
made the following changes in draft-ietf-aqm-codel-09
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-aqm-codel-09>.

1) Did you also check the sec-art and gen-art review. Both, as well as some

We've added these definitons now in Section 2.

We fixed the draft to remove mentions of 5-tuples. (This was already done
in -08.)

There's nothing to be done if a packet arrives at a full buffer besides
dropping it... we've added a sentence now that says "Packets arriving at a
full buffer SHOULD be dropped." Hopefully that should clarify things.

Hope this covers everything that's pending -- let me know if I've missed
anything.

(I received jim-jam biscuits/cookies from Jim Gettys which helped with this
round -- thanks Jim :-))
