Dear Rob, Med and IESG

Based on Ben's feedback, I submitted the final -11 version.

https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-opsawg-ipfix-mpls-sr-label-type-11

I think the document is ready now for the RFC editor queue.

Best wishes
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Many thanks; that looks like it should work quite nicely.
