Re: [spring] I-D Action: draft-ietf-spring-problem-statement-07.txt

["Stefano Previdi (sprevidi)" <[e-mail]>]

This is an update based on the various DISCUSS and comments received during IESG review.

Following (hopefully) have been addressed:

1. more appropriate use of “SHOULD and “MUST” terminology.
2. clarification on dataplanes
3. Manageability section update
4. Security Section
5. Removed comparison between SR and RSVP-TE

Thanks.
