Hi Gyan,

[I am following up on the messages exchanged between Alvaro and you this morning. Thanks to both of you for that.] 

Sorry for the delay in replying (considering your original review date). Thank you for your careful review and comments/nits. Please see responses marked with [KS/AA] below.

> Comment related to Gao-Rexford model.  The Gao-Rexford Model only has 3 peer
types North bound upstream Provider, Southbound Customer and lateral same tier
level peer.  With the role capabilities, RS and RS-Client is added which makes
it slightly different but almost identical.  In describing the role types would
it make sense to have a graphical depiction of Gao-Redford model with the role
capabilities on adjacent peers to help explain the role relationship for local
and remote-as.  Just an idea to help explain the role capabilities. 

[KS/AA]: We felt that instead of a graphical depiction, it is more useful to include text to enumerate the peering relationships corresponding to various Roles. So, we have added (in v-19 to be uploaded soon that will also include changes to reflect Ines' comments) the following new text in Section 2 after Roles are defined:

   If the local AS has one of the above Roles (in the order shown), then
   the corresponding peering relationship with the remote AS is
   Provider-to-Customer, Customer-to-Provider, RS-to-RS-Client, RS-
   Client-to-RS, or Peer-to-Peer (i.e., lateral peers), respectively.

Please let us know if this seems acceptable.

>In the role correctness section scenario where the peer receives multiple role
capabilities to send role mismatch notification.  What if there is a timing
issue and the multiple are received after the BGP open and peer is established
possible sequence of events issue.  Is it possible the peer may not get a
mismatch notification if the peer establishes prior to getting a different
capabilities where a mismatch or problem exists that is missed that could
result in a route leak. I am thinking of possibly false positive or negative or
negative during BGP open  capabilities exchange.

[KS/AA]: We feel that Alvaro has already adequately addressed this comment in his two messages. Please let us know if you still have a question.

Regards,
Sriram / Alexander

Gyan> Agreed.  The multiple capabilities received is mentioned in the text,
however as it's signaled in the open how would multiple capabilities be
received.  As the role capabilities are sent in the open , how can the
possibility of multiple capabilities occur?
