Re: [v6ops] Call for adoption: draft-peng-v6ops-hbh

Dear Brian, 

Our main purpose of this work, as we presented in the IETF meetings, is to ultimately 
1. Break the endless cycle that resulted in HBH to become a DOS vector.
2. Enable the HBH options header to be utilized in a safe/secure way without impacting the management plane.
3. Ease the deployments of the new HBH based network services in a multi-vendor/operator’s scenario that can now be deployed without operational impact.

This document acts as a requirement document and not a solution document so the purpose is to describe the current state and what needs to be fixed.

As you pointed out, we agree that the purpose is not very clear now, we will extend the introduction section that currently has a small paragraph on the purpose of this draft, and add more information to make it more clear. It will also be reflected in the abstract. 

Thank you for your comments to help us to improve the draft.

Best regards, 
Shuping
