Initial comments on the meth05 draft,
Al
(as a participant)

At our March meeting, we discussed the relationship between
the MPLS-FRR meth draft and the MPLS forwarding draft.
In subsequent e-mail between me and the mpls-forwarding authors,
I think we agreed that the mpls-forwarding Throughput Benchmark
(section 6 in the current version) *could* be applicable to the
MPLS-FRR meth draft *before* protection switching takes place.

(I seek confirmation of the above)

If so, one reasonable place for the reference between the drafts
is in section 3 of meth-05:
