Re: [tsv-area] FSA signalling issues

Hi, John,

thanks for promptly following up on some of the questions that arose

relevant working groups to continue this discussion with you in order  
to more fully evaluate how flow-state aware forwarding intersects with  
the broader Internet architecture.

Thanks,
Lars
