RE: Gen-ART LC review of draft-ietf-mpls-return-path-specified-lsp-ping-12

Hi,
This text is OK if one wants to implement this draft.
My concern was about the consistency of the IANA registration so that if
someone defines a new TLV type 1 based on RFC4379, IANA will know that it
must update also the registry for TLV type 21. If you see no such problem, I
have no concerns

Hi Roni,

How about this:

" No assignments of sub-TLVs in the range of 0-16383 and 32768-49161
    are made directly for TLV Type 21, sub-TLVs in these ranges are
    copied from the assignments made for TLV Type 1 and kept the same
    as that for TLV Type 1. All sub-TLVs in these ranges (include existing
    and future defined) defined for TLV Type 1 apply to TLV Type 21.
    Assignments of sub-..."

Best regards,
Mach

Hi,
I am not sure you responded to my latest email.

Having the policy for TLV type 1 here is not enough in my view since I
only look at RFC4379 and create a new TLV type I will not know that I
have to register it also for the type 21 if it will not be mentioned

As for the vendor specific see my other email Roni

Summary: This draft is almost ready for publication as a standard
track
RFC.


Major issues:
Minor issues:
I am not clear on the sub-TLV in section 6.2 1. If a new sub-TLV
is defined for TLV type 1 do they need also to be added to TLV type
21.
This should be clear, and if there is some relation I think it
should be reflected in the IANA registry for TLV type 1

Yes, type 21 TLV intends to reuse existing and future defined
sub-TLVs for type TLV 1. And in Section 3.3, it has already stated
this, it
says:

"The Target FEC sub-TLVs defined in [RFC4379] provide a good way to
   identify a specific return path.  The Reply Path TLV can carry any
   sub-TLV defined for use in the Target FEC Stack TLV that can be
   registered."

So, for Section 6.2, to make it cleaner and more explicit, how about
this
change:

Old:

" No assignments of sub-TLVs in the range of 0-16383 and 32768-49161
   are made directly for TLV Type 21, sub-TLVs in these ranges are
   copied from the assignments made for TLV Type 1. Assignments of
sub-..."

New:

" No assignments of sub-TLVs in the range of 0-16383 and 32768-49161
   are made directly for TLV Type 21, sub-TLVs in these ranges are
   copied from the assignments (including existing and future
allocations)
   made for TLV Type 1. Assignments of sub-..."


2. For the vendor or private use why a difference policy than the
rest of the sub-TLV registry

This document does not make any changes to the "Vendor and Private
use"
definition, range and policy as defined in RFC4379. In RFC4379, it's
policy is
defined different from other ranges.


Nits/editorial comments:
1. In section 3.4 I assume that "TC" is traffic class. It will be
good to expand and have reference.

OK, will fix it when all last call comments received.

Best regards,
Mach
