Hi Manav, That's a pretty funny analogy. I've got another one for you. Say the RI LSA is like a corporate learjet for a tool company. When it gets flown around it's never full so you decide to use it to ship wrenches on it along with the executives. You're proud of your wrenches and want everyone to know how great they are, but do you really want to ship them that way? Maybe it's better to put the wrenches in their own vehicle. So to be a little more serious, if the router wants to proudly proclaim its S-BFD capability then it deserves its own special LSA rather than being packed into one used for other things.
