Hello Tom et al., hmm, looking at the original email from Erik I wonder: have we made any progress? For the extensions hardware discussion: there is obviously no simple truth. And ECMP is a well-defined task, this does not mean much for parsing general TLV. I understood Erik's comment as a

Meta-Data: I probably missed some discussions (sorry!) but what data would this be? As I tried to clarify in my response to Tom the meta-data discussion in the IETF was mostly about vendor-specific service meta-data, but perhaps this term is being used for more general extensibility?
