Hi,
I have one issue I want to bring up as a last call comment. I discussed it
briefly with Eric and we agreed it is something that needs wider discussion than
just a late editorial change.
Currently 6378 does not describe the format of PSC TLVs and
draft-ietf-mpls-tp-itu introduces one without defining the format tightly.
Therefore, this document contains a simple statement of the fields and meanings
in a TLV.
However, 6378 also does not state how to handle:
- a malformed TLV
- an unknown TLV type
We need to add some simple text to cover this.
Options for each of the above are:
- ignore the TLV but process the message
- report the TLV but ignore the TLV and process the message
- ignore the message
- report the message but ignore it
- reject the message
Thanks,
Adrian

The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG
(mpls) to consider the following document:
- 'Updates to MPLS Transport Profile Linear Protection'
<draft-ietf-mpls-psc-updates-03.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2014-04-09. Exceptionally, comments

Abstract
This document contains four updates to the Protection State
Coordination (PSC) logic defined in RFC6378, "MPLS Transport Profile
(MPLS-TP) Linear Protection" . Two of the updates correct existing
behavior. The third clarifies a behavior which was not explained in
the RFC, and the fourth adds rules around handling capabilities
mismatches.
