Re: [lisp] The LISP WG has placed draft-farinacci-lisp-decent in state "Call For Adoption By WG Issued"

[Joel Halpern <[e-mail]>]

To point to one example of the problem, this draft defines "push based" 
as using multicast.  Decent uses multicast.  But not all push based 
systems use multicast.  The definitions of push-based and pull-based 
should be general.  Decent-pulll and decent-push (or some other terms) 
can be defined as this document uses them.

Yours,

Joel
