Hi all,

The discussion revealed that the intended applicability scope is even more than
I got when first reviewing the document. This claims to cover discovery of any
proxy (including proxies that are widely deployed out there such SIP proxies
and for which there are alrady plenty discovery mechanisms). I’m concerned as
this is adding duplicated functionality, not backed by real operational
problems/needs. I’m more concerned that we are adding a duplicated mechanism
for the discovery of these mechanisms using a tool that is not deployed today
(PvD).

Cheers,
Med
