Linda, thanks for your review. Giuseppe, thanks for your responses. I entered a 
No Objection ballot.

> [GF]: I understand your point but in this case the assumption is the use of

> marking method, where the marking change is an auto-synchronization signal 
> for the network nodes. There are also timing aspects due to the different 
> timer of the nodes and this is explained in Section 7: Timing Aspects. I can 
> specify that this paragraph is valid in the case of alternate marking.

> Section 6.1 Algorithm for Cluster Partition:
> How do you partition the cluster if the Application ingress the network via 
> different nodes?
> 
> [GF]: Once defined an Application flow, the algorithm considers all the 
> possible links and nodes for the given flow, even if there is no traffic. It 
> is based on topological information. So, if the Application ingress via 
> different nodes, the counters has a non-zero value for these nodes, while a 
> zero value for the other nodes without traffic, but, in the end the formula 
> is still valid.

> Major issues: None

> Nits/editorial comments:
> 
> Page 5: first sentence on the policies to classify flows: should allow 
> additional conditions that are not in the packet header as part of matching 
> criteria
> 
> [GF]: Sure, I can add a consideration here that the flow can be defined at 
> different levels based on the encapsulation considered and additional
