First of all, I want to pay tribute to you.

Under your promotion, I think the advancement of these tasks has been relatively
fast. But I'm wondering when we expect these things to be done.

I also want to know, do you plan to release specs one by one, or these related
specs together. I would like to know about related plans.

We very much hope that these tasks, especially features such as device counter,
n-tuple receive flow filters requirements, and packet timestamp can be
completed within this year. The sooner the better.

Thanks.
