Re: [AVTCORE] I-D Action: draft-ietf-avtcore-rtp-circuit-breakers-11.txt

[Magnus Westerlund <[e-mail]>]

WG,

I want to stress that I personally think this looks pretty well baked 
and my high level issues are resolved. I also think what is in this 
document is actually implementable, however that is without having 
implemented.

I really want to encourage that you review this now!

Cheers
