Re: [tram] Chime in on attched redlined version-12 WAS: I-D Action: draft-ietf-tram-turn-server-discovery-12.txt

[Simon Perreault <[e-mail]>]

Karl,

There is no consensus in the working group behind this new anycast
mechanism. Therefore it can not be added to the draft, and the mechanism
defined in RFC 5766 remains.

Thanks,
Simon
