Re: [PCN] FW: New Version Notificationfordraft-ietf-pcn-architecture-06



Hi

I don't have a wish to delay the PCN architecture work more than necessary either. 

I guess the way forward as described by Ruediger is reasonable i.e a description of the simple case and just a mention of the more complex cases in the architecture draft. On the other hand it may be sufficient to just mention aggregated reservation in general and rely on a future other document that covers this.
