I read this document and in general I believe that it's well and clear written. I have a couple of technical issues and a few editorial nits 1. The document is sharing allocation space and refers in several places to [LSP-Ping] which is also listed as a Normative Reference. I could not however clearly identify what document is that, as no I-D is provided. Did this reference become in the meantime RFC4379? In any case, there are a few problems with the shared IANA allocations: - Section 2.1 makes a provisional allocation for FEC element type 130, which is not mentioned in the IANA Considerations section - Section 3.1 makes a provisional assignment for two message types without mentioning IANA - Section 3.2 mentions the need for allocation of a new UDP port, but the IANA Considerations does not mention it. I also guess that this is a non-system port, but there is no mention of this in the document, would be good to clarify 2. The document lacks any information about operational impact and management issues. I believe that it should state as a minimum in the security considerations section that any control interface that allows for packets generation needs to be properly access-secured and that the levels of test traffic must be kept within reasonable limits, so that they do not impact the performance of the LSRs involved in the tests or the levels of traffic in the network. Editorial nits: 1. As LSR and MPLS are expanded in the Abstract section it would be nice and consistent to expand also FEC. 2. Section 3.1, last sentence in the first paragraph - there is a double appearance of 'the' 3. Section 3.4, last sentence: 'It is RECOMMENDED that testing of label imposition SHOULD NOT be performed in such circumstances as the Verification Request will in most case travel multiple hops'. One of RECOMMENDED or SHOULD NOT can be dropped, also s/case/cases. Thanks.
