Just a quick confirmation that Jan/Feb 02 is reasonable. Currently,
some more simulations are done, some first results of using Limited
Effort in a multicast context are also listed in Appendix B of 
draft-bless-diffserv-multicast-02.txt.

Implementation experience is possibly also gathered by Internet2 people
with their QBSS, but I couldn't find any pointer in the qbss definition
to the BH or LE drafts, although it seems to be derived from our inital
proposal. So we are not sure whether we could/should include a section
about QBSS experience. Furthermore, we think that it would be a good
idea to rename Bulk Handling PDB into Limited Effort PDB, because BH may
be a little bit misleading for its potential application cases.

 Roland and Klaus
