Dear Nabil,
can we avoid different interpretation of the same abbreviation (RDI):

   RDI   Remote Defect Indication for Continuity Check Message

   RDI   Reverse Defect Indication

AFAIK, the latter form is the interpretation used by both IEEE 802.1ag and
Y.1731. How useful is the first form?

Regards,

Greg

Hi Dave,

This document uses the following terms with corresponding definitions: ***

- MD Level:  Maintenance Domain (MD) Level which identifies a value in
the range of 0-7 associated with Ethernet OAM frame. MD Level identifies
the span of the Ethernet OAM frame.****

 - MEP:    Maintenance End Point is responsible for origination and
termination of OAM frames for a given MEG.****

 - MIP:      Maintenance Intermediate Point is located between peer MEPs
and can process OAM frames but does not initiate or terminate them.****

Further, this document also uses the terminology and conventions used in
[RFC6310].****



Thanks,

Summary:
This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits that
should be fixed before publication.

<NB> Thanks.



This draft covers defect behavior for Ethernet pseudowires,

including defect state mapping and PE defect reporting behavior.

The draft is generally in good shape.  I found a few minor nits.



1) The draft uses a lot of acronyms - while each acronym appears to

be expanded on first use, an additional section near the start of the

draft listing all of them would be helpful.

<NB> Done.



2) There's a typo in the first paragraph of section 2:



     covers the following Ethernet OAM (Opertaions, Administration and



Opertaions -> Operations.

<NB> Thanks. Done.



3) The following normative reference is incomplete - please add additional

information that will enable a reader to locate the referenced document:



     [MEF16] "Ethernet Local Management Interface", MEF16, January 2006.

[MEF16] "Ethernet Local Management Interface", Metro Ethernet Forum
Technical Specification MEF16, January 2006.

<NB> changed it to :



4) idnits 2.12.13 did not like the pagination:



  == The page length should not exceed 58 lines per page, but there was 22
     longer pages, the longest (page 1) being 61 lines
<NB> That will be fixed.

Thanks,
--David
