I concurr with Andy. Given that the WG has made a decision on which control plane technology is the standard track technology we should have a statement in this document pointing to the standard track rfc4447 so it is clear to anyone reading the document. In the same way we published the draft-martini documents as historical ee should publish this document as historical rfc, to document existing implementations. Luca On 09/01/11 05:42, Andrew G.
