Reviewer: Thomas Fossati Review Date: 2022-09-09 IETF LC End Date: 2022-09-20 IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat Summary: This is a clear and easy to read document, thank you authors for the great job. I only have a couple of very minor issues / clarifications. The tail of my review consists of a bunch of typographic nits and one suggestion for how to align the Contributors section to most recent interpretations of the RFC Style Guide (RFC7322). Major issues: none Minor issues: * It looks that the H and O flags are mutually exclusive? If so, I think the fact should be made explicit. (This applies to both the reverse and reverse TE metrics.) * "If authentication is being used [...] then the Cryptographic Authentication TLV [RFC5613] SHOULD also be used to protect the contents of the LLS block." Please explain why this is not a MUST, i.e., under which conditions it is OK to not authenticate the LLS block. Nits/editorial comments: Section 1., paragraph 1: OLD: Thus the configuration on R1 influences the traffic that it forwards NEW: Thus, the configuration on R1 influences the traffic that it forwards Section 2.1., paragraph 2: OLD: when a large number of CE routers connect to a PE router, an NEW: when many CE routers connect to a PE router, an Section 2.1., paragraph 3: OLD: router to advertise the maximum metric for that link and also to [...] returns to using its provisioned metric for the link and also stops NEW: router to advertise the maximum metric for that link and to [...] returns to using its provisioned metric for the link and stops Section 2.2., paragraph 2: OLD: reverse metric to some or all of the R1-RN routers. When the R1-RN NEW: reverse metric to some or all the R1-RN routers. When the R1-RN Section 3., paragraph 1: OLD: This ensures that the RM signaling is scoped ONLY to each specific [...] Metric TLV in its Hello packets on the link as long as it needs its [...] NEW: This ensures that the RM signaling is scoped only to each specific [...] Metric TLV in its Hello packets on the link for as long as it needs its [...] Section 6., paragraph 4: OLD: instability in the network due to churn in their metric due to signaling of RM: NEW: instability in the network due to churn in their metric caused by signaling of RM: Section 6., paragraph 7: OLD: RM metric signaling based on the RM metric signaling initiated by some other router. NEW: RM metric signaling based on the RM metric signaling initiated by some other routers. Section 6., paragraph 10: OLD: (also refer to Section 7 for details on enablement of RM). The rules [...] NEW: (refer to Section 7 for details on enablement of RM). The rules [...] Section 7., paragraph 5: OLD: For the use case in Section 2.1, it is RECOMMENDED that the network operator limit the period of enablement of the reverse metric NEW: For the use case in Section 2.1, it is RECOMMENDED that the network operator limits the period of enablement of the reverse metric Section 9., paragraph 1: OLD: This document allocates code points from Link Local Signalling TLV Identifiers registry for the TLVs introduced by it as below. NEW: This document allocates code points from the Link Local Signalling TLV Identifiers registry for the introduced TLVs. Regarding the Contributors section, I think BCP is to make it similar to the Authors section, e.g.: Section 11., paragraph 1: OLD: Thanks to Jay Karthik for his contributions to the use cases and the review of the solution. NEW: Jay Karthik Cisco Systems, Inc. Email: jakarthi@xxxxxxxxx Jay contributed to the use cases and the review of the solution. If you are using kramdown-rfc you can add this snippet after your "author" block contributor: - name: Jay Karthik email: jakarthi@xxxxxxxxx contribution: Jay contributed to the use cases and the review of the solution.
