TSV-ART reviews are for our transport ADs's, so they will look at this

Always keen for improvements, anyway!

* The ID also discusses use of the IPv6 Flow Label: This seems a
little off
topic, but seems linked to EH implications on ECMP. However, the final
sentence of this section is a reference to [Jaeggli-2018] which in turn
concludes that the IPv6 Flow Label should not be used it as a part of
hashes
for load balancing. Yet, as far as I know, this is not the
recommendation of
the IETF in 2020.
FWIW, we discuss the Flow Label a bit because the usual reaction would
be "why do you process the header chain for load-balancing, instead of
employing the Flow Label?"
Thanks - I see. Brian's Carpenter's suggestion would also help avoid
misinterpretation.
Cool. We'll apply both.

* A definition would be helpful for /RLDRAM/.
Would a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RLDRAM ; do the
trick? Or were you just suggesting to expand the acronym?
I'd suggest to avoid the URL to wikipedia (people can easily find that -
or a more concrete reference, but need to be certain of the term). To be
clear, I was more expecting a simple expansion:
"Reduced Latency DRAM (RLDRAM)"
Fair enough. I'll expand the acronym. (I agree with you about Wikipedia)
* There are many types and sizes of routers, is this true of all routers
(including low-end) or could this better reflect some type of
routers? So,
maybe the following statements could use better words than /most
contemporary
routers/? /Most contemporary routers use dedicated hardware/ … and
later: /Most
contemporary routers have a fast hardware-assisted forwarding plane/
You mean something like "carrier-grade router"?
That would be much better, or something similar that differentiates this
from AP's, desktop routers, etc.
Fair enough. I'll incorporate "carrier-grade router" unless anybody can
come up with a better term.
Thanks!
