Here are my comments. They are quite a few, it may be because it's a good document. Technical: 1. Section 3.2.1 - Packet Content. The definition includes in the packet header the link layer header. This deserves at least a note, which should draw the attention on the fact that some if the Observation Point is located at the interface of an IP router the link header information may not be available. Moreover, all examples later in the document use only IP header IE, it would be useful to change or add one example to show sub-IP header information. 2. Section 8.2 - PSAMP IANA considerations mention the need of a group of experts to advise on new PSAMP selection methods. This seems a little overkill to me, as I do not expect this advise to be required too often in the future. One designated expert to work with IANA would seem to me sufficient, of curse in doing his work he may consult with a team, but this needs not be mentioned here. Editorial 1. The document is using a capitalization convention where all terms defined or mentioned in Section 3 are being written capitalized. This includes quite common and often used terms like Sample or Flow. In order to avoid comments about this capitalization style I suggest to explain this convention in the terminology section. 2. Many of the figures get fragmented at print. Now I know that it's difficult to avoid this in a document with about 20 figures, and doing .np before each figure would be quite a waste, but I suggest that at least figure C which is a key architecture diagram be kept on one page.
