It took me a while to figure oiut what "DSL" stood for. In another message I saw "E2E" and had to look it up. It refers to a concept I am familiar with, but I never saw that acronym before. People, so that I can understand you, I ask you plesae to spell out such expressions in full rather than using acronyms, unless we use those acronyms here every day. Each time you use an acronym that maybe not all of us know, that may exclude someone from understanding.
