Re: [ippm] I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ippm-reordering-13.txt

IPPM,

This is an opportunity to see how we've addressed the IESG's comments.

With the possible exceptions of adding some new metric names
(as discussed on the list last week) and a new "Disclaimer" section,
I think it's fair to characterize all the comments and resolutions
as clarifications to the text.

One typo: RFC2640 should be RFC2460.

Diffs can be viewed at the tools pages:
