Fair point. The latest discussion started to wander off from discussing the benefits/disadvantages of using the UDP/IP 4-tuple instead of 6-tuple, but I don't recall anyone really opposing the 6-tuple text. Is someone strictly against the 6-tuple model, or do we have rough consensus of sticking with the current text in the draft? (with editorial changes as suggested in earlier mails) - Pasi
