Slightly delayed response—imagine a deep space link :-) This is indeed a major milestone by reaching the initial goals!
The same here, thank you so much to the many contributors! We are starting to see more deployment, which is quite heartening. Definitely need to let Enrico know. I propose a small get-together at Vancouver ietf, if the ietf still holds in person. Cheers, Richard On Thu, Feb 6, 2020 at 6:19 PM Vijay Gurbani <[email protected]> wrote: > Congratulations!!
