The goal of shifting / stitching the flows on the forward path that we choose sounds perfectly fine from the view of realizing optimized data plane. But, we still have to show how an operator can manage the subscriber session and enforce the policies. Without such considerations, we cannot meaningfully evaluate the solution, IMHO Regards Sri _______________________________________________ dmm mailing list dmm@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmm
