Re: [mpls] I-D Action: draft-bryant-mpls-sfl-framework-05.txt

The changes in this version are the inclusion of RFC2119 boilerplate 
(which nits
doesn't like) and the following replacement text for point two in Section 5
(Equal Cost Multipath Considerations )

    2.  The operator can elect to use [RFC6790] Entropy Labels in a
        network that fully supports this type of ECMP.  If this approach
        is adopted, the intervening MPLS network MUST NOT load balance on
        any packet field other than the entropy label.  Note that this is
        stricter than the text in Section 4.2 of [RFC6790].  In networks
        in which the ECMP decision is independent of both the value of
        any other label in the label stack, and the MPLS payload, the
        path of the flow with the SFL will be congruent with the path
        without the SFL.

I think that this addresses the concerns raised during the previous review.

If there are any other points that I missed, please let me know. Otherwise
I think that we are ready to move forward.
