Hi chairs,

This draft has been around the block and had its tyres kicked. It has been
presented in BESS and SFC, and received some discussion on and off the list that
has led to updates and improvements. 

So far, as far as I can tell, no-one has screamed, "Don't do that!" 

It seems to the authors that this draft directly addressed an item in the BESS
charter, viz.
> - Extensions to BGP-enabled VPN solutions for the
>   construction of virtual topologies in support of services
>   such as Service Function Chaining.

So we would like you to consider adopting this document and working on it as a
BESS WG document.

Thanks,
Adrian
