Re: [mpls] I-D Action: draft-cui-mpls-tp-mfp-use-case-and-requirements-06.txt

Hi,

we just submitted a new version of this document which addresses the MPLS-RT comments made some time ago (sorry for the delay).

What we are really interested in is to gauge whether there is interest in working on a solution to the problem described in this document and if the WG agrees to the requirements on such a solution.

Best,

Rolf
