Dear WG,

As part of the NTS effort, I think it would be helpful to understand the
importance of symmetric peering mode.

Can folks on this list please share their experience about using symmetric
mode?  Do you use it, and if so why (or why not), and if so in what
operational environment are you using it?

Thanks,
Sharon
