The POLL should be a MUST and the PUSH a MAY. One of the nice things about the IETF's style of writing specification documents, is that it is acceptable to include some explanatory text and pedagogy. Perhaps it would be helpful to have a brief discussion about polling and pushing to explains a bit of the operations (and software) tradeoffs? That way, "good" vs. "bad" is not the debate, but instead the focus is on costs vs. benefits. d/ ---------- Dave Crocker <mailto:dcrocker@brandenburg.com> Brandenburg InternetWorking <http://www.brandenburg.com> tel +1.408.246.8253; fax +1.408.273.6464
