[No hats on.]

Just as a reminder, the rtgwg charter (in the description of the work related 
to FRR) reads: "All work in this area should be specifically evaluated by the 
WG in terms of practicality and applicability to deployed networks.”

Note that this statement doesn’t mean that we need deployments, or even people 
saying that they want/intend to deploy the technology.  It means that the WG 
should think of whether a proposal is applicable to deployed networks.  I would 
like to hear comments specific to this statement.

As a datapoint I would like to expand a little on the message that Janos Farkas 
(cc’d) sent to the list on Nov/9 (Subject: 'proceeding with 
draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-algorithm’).  In it he mentions that IEEE 801.1Qca 
(which is an amendment that involves 802.1aq SPB) leverages MRT, which means 
that the IEEE thinks the technology is applicable to deployed networks.  I’ll 
let Janos explain more if anyone has any questions.

Thanks!

Alvaro.
