Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This draft describes an extension to the DLEP protocol to provide a
   credit-windowing scheme for destination-specific flow control.

Working Group Summary

   This credit extension was originally specified as an optional feature 
   in the base DLEP specification. After an extensive RGtDir review the 
   base DLEP specification was sent back to the WG.  The WG decided that 
   it would clean up the specification if credit windowing was was documented 
   in it's own extension draft; The goal being two fold, stressing that the 
   feature was optional and outlining how future extension drafts to DLEP may 
   be written.

   There is strong support within the working group on moving this document forward. 

Document Quality

   With familiarity of DLEP the specification is easy to read and straightforward.  
   There is broad support within industry and the many existing DLEP implementations 
   are expected to support this extension once standardized as there is demand on the 
   customer side.
