Re: [Dyncast] New Version Notification fordraft-liu-dyncast-ps-usecases-00.txt

["Joel M. Halpern" <[e-mail]>]

There are two quite separate issues.
As a new activity, a problem statement can be very useful.  But for it 
to be useful, it needs to avoid presupposing a solution.
So I would strongly recommend that all the solution oriented material be 
removed to a separate draft.

As a second matter, in any solution draft, any proposal that wants to 
make use of anycast and routing state needs to discuss the state and 
information propagation aspects of any such proposals.

Yours,
Joel
