I had to leave around this discussion, but I really wasn’t following why this 
would be better than straight forwarding capacity.  That is, an overall 
“points” value doesn’t necessarily help much since some may care about CAM 
space and some may care about forwarding capacity, but they don’t know how the 
points break down.  Like Frank, I’d like to stick to something simple and more 
well-defined like forwarding capacity.

It’s informational now, and I have no problem with that given the looseness in 
the draft.  As it evolves, it may be better to move it to Standards.  I think 
it should stay where it is for now.
