Re: [forces] AD review of draft-ietf-forces-packet-parallelization

Greetings Adrian,

Thank you for the review and for the suggestion. 

We have discussed with Joel and we agree to go with experimental as that may
be best for this draft to go for. I think we fall more into the category of
"we have an implementation and are seeing how it behaves" rather than "we
are deploying".

For the rest of your comments, we'll shortly provide a new draft that answer
your IANA and the shepherd's comments.

Regards,
Evangelos Haleplidis.
