Re: [mpls] IPR poll on draft-bryant-mpls-flow-ident

I'm afraid I don't understand section 11 at all. (It's title
is "privacy considerations" but it's current content bemuses me;-)

If this is adopted and if that section gets fixed (e.g. to become
some kind of applicability statement), then that would be a fine
outcome.

There's a bit of work to be done to figure out when this is a safe
or unsafe thing to do from the privacy perspective and to document
that, but such work should be something the WG is well able for.

Put another way: I support adoption of this (not that I know squat
about MPLS;-) on the assumption that section 11 gets fixed. And I'm
confident fixing that should not be hard.

But in any case - I am very happy to see section 11 in an MPLS
document - recognition that privacy is an issue, even at this layer,
does represent progress. (Thanks to the authors for that.)
