Hi all,

I have just sent a copy of this draft to the Internet-Drafts editor for
publication.  It is substantially unchanged from
draft-brittain-mpls-ldp-ft-00.txt that was accepted as a Working Group draft
in Pittsburgh.  The only changes are corrections of minor typographical
errors.

If you are impatient for a copy, you can find it at
http://www.dataconnection.com/download/draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-ft-00.txt

We propose addressing the following list of issues in the next cycle.

- Add brief section on TCP failure notification and detection.
- Clarify that messages carrying the FT protection TLV do NOT
  themselves need to be secured, but that the state change must
  be secured to the backup before the Ack is sent.
- Add a status code to indicate "Expected FT Protection TLV
  Absent".
- Mention Address Message in introductory sections.
- Consideration of failure to setup the TCP session the first 
  time (minor editorial).
- Section explaining which failure cases are permanent and 
  which temporary.
- Acknowledgement of Notify Label Resources Available.
- Clarify sequence number wrapping.
- Add example to show temporary shutdown

As always, the comments of the group would be welcomed.

Regards,
Adrian
