Hi Dave,

I have a few questions/comments:

1) Last sentence of section 2: It is not clear what the loopback address is. I assume it is not a 127/8 address.

2) Could you please explain bullet 2 of section 4 a bit more.

3) Section 6: I assume by no PHP you mean when there is only one label to be poped. right?
Also it might be possible to get a PPP PID for the extended Payload ID control-word. 

Yours,
Shahram
