[BB] Sorry, I omitted to explain that, in the PWE case, I didn't think 
differential delay would be a problem, because all traffic in the PWE 
would be expected to want the same low delay service. My concern was 
about sequencing of tunnelled packets undoing deliberately 
differentiated delay between different types of IP traffic within an 
aggregate.

But thanks for picking me up on not explaining that.

Cheers


Bob
