Re: [Teas] I-D Action: draft-ietf-teas-nrp-scalability-04.txt

Dear all, 

A new revision of the nrp scalability draft has been uploaded before the cut-off. Here are the major changes:

- Some of the scalability design principles are rephrased based on the comments received both online and offline.

- Added a suggestion that network slicing protocol specifications also include considerations of scalability. 

- Some example of network slice realizations are listed in an Appendix (thanks to Adrian for the contribution and discussion), and the possible scalability issues with each of them are discussed. 

- The author list is adjusted to comply to the rules of 5-authors (thanks to Fengwei for all your contributions to this work).

- Some editorial changes. 

As always review and comments are welcome. 

Best regards,
Jie (on-behalf of the authors)
