Re: [OSPF] 答复: WG adoption poll for draft-ppsenak-ospf-te-link-attr-reuse

Hi Shraddha,

thanks for your comments. I believe all of them can be addressed by
editorial changes and I'll be more then happy to work with you on those.

More importantly, it looks to me you are not objecting the problem
statement and the direction that the draft is taking to address it. Is
my understanding correct?

thanks,
Peter
