Hi Thomas,

great to hear about practical case for NH SAFI draft. Although currently the draft is in latent state, it’s not abandoned. Basically there’s a need in implementation to figure out how proposed encoding format fits existing code bases. Are you working on a code that could incorporate this feature? If so, let discuss in more details.

Kind regards,
iLya

I am currently working with a bunch of guys on a draft about a feature for route servers which relies on ideas proposed by your draft. So it is crucial for me to understand if this draft is dead or still alive. Could you please give me the status of the draft from your point of view?
