Second item. I am trying to space these out so people in different
time zones get caught up.

Presented at the meeting. Refer to:
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/85/slides/slides-85-forces-3.pdf and
draft-haleplidis-forces-packet-parallelization-01

What it is
----------
There is no way to currently express parallel asynchronous
LFB modelling. A proposal has been made on how to address this issue.

Why it is needed
---------------------
Parallel asynchronous split and merge paths are very common when
expressing data paths. Needed for completeness.
