[Greg Mirsky <[e-mail]>]

Hi Haoyu,
I find the argument "We don't care about your problem" unusual for an
environment striving to reach, although rough, consensus nevertheless. MSD
is a well-known network constraint that, I suspect, would not go away very
soon (similar to using the label stack to generate entropy in the ECMP
environment). MSD is real, and we must consider it when making design
decisions. I don't think that operators will look favorably at a technology
that requires the forklift upgrade of a network.

Regards,
Greg
