Re: [tcmtf] About the possibility of having a BOF about TCMTF in IETF87

Hi Ken,

Sorry for the delay. I think you are talking about Paragraph 5:

5. So the first objective of this group is to specify the protocol stack for
tunneling, compressing and multiplexing traffic flows (TCMTF). Since
standard protocols are being used at each layer, the signaling methods of
those protocols will be used. Interactions with the Working Groups and Areas
in which these protocols are developed can be expected. However, the
development of new compressing, multiplexing or tunneling protocols is not
an objective of this Working Group. In addition, since the current RFC 4170
would be considered as one of the options, this RFC could be obsoleted.

Perhaps this is a bit confusing. When we say "at each layer", we are talking
about "tunneling, compressing and multiplexing" layers. Perhaps this can be
a bit confusing. What about this?:

Is this what you were asking?

Thanks for your feedback.
