RE: [Apn] A new draft on APN for your review, thank you!

Dear Tom,

Thank you for your interest! 

First of all, APN stands for Application-aware Networking

I had attached a APN BoF proposal document in my last email but probably it was too big to be delivered successfully. The APN6 was also introduced in this draft in the intarea WG (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-per-app-networking-considerations). Sorry for any confusions caused. 

Please find the APN BoF proposal in the IETF wiki for more information.

The archived discussions in this APN mailing list can be found here.
