Hi Lars’s & DC Gateway authors I will be responding back today to the Gen-Art original email I sent with final comments and hope the final comments will help improve the document. I will also address the comments from John Scudder related to GW failover as well as Alvaro’s comments related to tunnel encapsulation attribute BGP prefix sid Sub-TLV limitations. Also will add new text recommendations related to RFC 2119 MUST / SHOULD language to help improve the document.
