DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry for this last minute discuss but I would like to emphasize the points
made in the tsv-art review on congestion/rate control (Thanks Yoshi!):

Please provide stronger guidance (MUST) on the use of rate/congestion control
in these two cases:

 In Section 3.1:
    " If the peering point between AD-1 and AD-2 is a controlled
   network environment, then bandwidth can be allocated
   accordingly by the two domains to permit the transit of non-
   rate adaptive multicast traffic. If this is not the case, then
   it is recommended that the multicast traffic should support
   rate-adaption."

In Section 4.1,
     "When determining the appropriate bandwidth allocation, parties should
     consider use
       of a multicast protocol suitable for live video streaming that
       is consistent with Congestion Control Principles [BCP41]."

Minor questions/comments:

1) Section 3.4 also says:
"Highly efficient use of bandwidth in AD-1."
But aren't packets eventually duplicated in this case in AD-1? I guess it's
more efficient than replicating them at the network border but might be still
less efficient than native multicast in the whole network, no?

2) section 4.3.3 says:
"The two AD's may supply additional security logs..."
This seems to be a general action not specific to multicast or the scenarios
described in this doc.

3) I don't think the conclusion section (8) is helpful or needed. If you want
to keep it at all, this text could be moved into the introduction.
