Hi Al,

As promised what feels like life-time ago (after 3 weeks
in really thin air - for me at least - with no energy left
to retain any memories of the times before :-)) I have 
read through this draft:

draft-ietf-trill-loss-delay-00                    

It uses the metrics defined by the IPPM RFCs 2679, 2680
and 2681 in very detailed manner - looked like RFC6390 was
inspired by those :-).

The section 2.2 with the metric definitions for the purpose of
this document might benefit from clearer references to the IPPM
work:

1) The packet delay definitions refer to RFC6905 which then
just refers to 2679 and 2681

2) Packet Loss misses the reference at all, I just assumed it would be RFC2680 (if not a RFC6390 compliant definition would be needed)

3) Far-end and near-end loss definitions need the reference as well
and probably a bit of text explaining it is just a variance of the 
RFC2680 definition specific for the TRILL environment but without
a need for another fully blown definition
