Hi All,

Uploaded the next version of the draft on 'Anycast Segments in MPLS-based ASegment Routing’. This version is a significant update to the -00 version and mostly deals with howto minimize the recursive label lookup that was introduced in the previous version.

Request you all to review the document and provide your comments and feedback.

Thanks
-Pushpasis
