Qing, The reason for which I posted this note here was to get *technical* input on the contents of the I-D. So far 99% of the discussion in TCPM has been around whether to accept this document as a wg item or not, whether to change the outline or not, etc. (i.e., "procedural discussions", if you want). This was the first poll for *technical* comments, and I thought the FreeBSD community might provide valuable input -- hence my note.
