[mpls] Closed: should draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label be published as a RFC on the standards track?

[Loa Andersson <[e-mail]>]

Working Group,

This poll has been closed.

We have no objections to publishing draft-ietf-mpls-spring-entropy-label
as a RFC on the standards track. We also seem to have some support for
adding information that an entropy label is not necessarily the only
method handling ECMP.

I will forward this to Deborah (AD responsible for this document).
