Re: CAC RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ieprep-domain-req-00.txt

I'm sorry Mike, but that is the functionality RSVP does and has done for 
many many years.... I'm not going to change it. Further, the maintenance 
CAC function (what you would call the part after initial admission) is what 
RSVP does. When referring to CAC and RSVP, this is the definition that is 
used in the IETF for voice and video flows.

When in Rome, you do what the Roman's do....
