It looks like this draft does not define a "single" solution for CC, CV and RDI 
function

>Dear all,
>I regret to say I have the same concerns expressed by Rui and Erminio about 
the procedure adopted for this document that has brought so many discussions. 
Anyway, probably because of the lack of a reasonable time (in my opinion) for 
discussions about the previous document version (-04) I have the following 
comments on this version:
>
>1. it is not clear the BFD's scope
>        Sect. 1: PW, LSP, SPME
>        Sect. 1: LSP
>        Sect 3: LSP
>        Sect 3.1:LSP, PW
>        Sect 3.3: PW, LSP, SPME, Section
>        Sect 3.7: LSP
>
>2. encapsulation
>        Sect 1: supported encapsulation GAL/GACh, VCCV, UDP/IP: can be 
expressed a preference (MUST/MAY) for Transport Profile applications for 
interoperability issues? I would avoid single vendor networks coming from too 
many options.
>
>3. diagnostic code 5
>        Could you clarify what is the BFD state machine behavior 
receiving/transmitting a Diagn Code=5
>
>4. detection time
>        Sect 3.2: I expect it is that one defined in RFC5884 i.e. detect Mult 
x greater (bfd.requiredminrxinterval, last received desired min tx interval). 
What "interval" means is not clear
>
>5. session periodicity
>        Sec 3.3 Should be clarified being not defined in RFC5880
>
>6. detection of loss of continuity
>        Sect 3.3 can CV packet  sent on the wire replace CC packet (for LOC 
purpose on the far end)?
>
>7. CV vs CC packets
>        Sect 3.6 Generally speaking, how should the received CV packet's 
fields be managed with respect of the BFD state machine/BFD states? (beyond 
what is specified in such paragraph limited to P/F and Sta).
>
>8. encoding
>        Sect 3.5: could you clarify what " A BFD session will only use one 
encoding of the Source ID TLV" means?
>
>9. editorial
>        Source ID TLV, MEP source ID TLV, Source MEP TLV should be aligned
>
>10. terminology
>        Wrt sect 3.6 I would ask a clarification about the terminology where 
I found
>        a- "A BFD session corresponds to a CC and proactive CV OAM instance"
>        b- " A BFD session is enabled when the CC and proactive CV 
functionality is enabled"
>        c- " When the CC and proactive CV functionality is disabled ..., the 
BFD session transitions to the ADMIN DOWN State and the BFD session ends"
>                In the ADMIN DOWN state I understood I can have BFD control 
packet exchange between the end points. Is it consistent with CC/CV 
functionality disabled?
>11. code points
>        Code points are not specified in section 3.1 as stated
>
>12. BFD fixed rate
>        Sect 3.7 " This rate is a fixed value common for both directions of 
MEG for the lifetime of the MEG". Is this statement implying that MEG must be 
destroyed to be able to change the BFD rate? Should not be limited to the BFD 
session lifetime (to be clarified what it means... because moving to ADMIN DOWN 
state both ends could not be enough)
>
>13. two BFD modes
>        Sect 3.7 " Two independent BFD sessions are used for independent 
operation". In my opinion, this approach still remain a big limitation in BFD 
usage.
>        Is it implementation specific the way the two ends distinguish 
between the two BFD modes?
>
>14. bfd.RemoteDiscr
>        Sect 3.7 " In coordinated mode, an implementation SHOULD NOT reset 
bfd.RemoteDiscr until it is exiting the DOWN state"
>        Is it a deviation from BFD as specified in RFC 5880? If it is, could 
you clarified the reason for that?
>
>15. bfd.RemoteDiscr
>        Sect 3.7 Could you clarify the reasons behind different treatments 
for bfd.RemoteDiscr in coordinated mode and independent mode?
>
>16. overall operation
>        Sect 3.7 "Overall operation is as specified in [4] and augmented for 
MPLS in[8]"
>        Are you sure that it can be generalized in that way? Should not be 
the case to specify more in details what applies and what do not apply?
>
>17. IP-based BFD
>        Sect 3.1  IP-based BFD can carry out CV functionality only if IP SA 
is public
>
>18. CV during transient states
>        Sect 3.2 for clarification: at start-up, CC are sent one per second. 
CV are sent in addition to CC (so we have two BFD packets per second)?
>
>19. misconnections
>        Sect 3.7.3 sect 3.7.3 states a misconnection bring BFD session to 
DOWN whilst it is not clear if sect 3.7.5 state that misconnection do not 
impact on BFD state transition
>
>20. encapsulation modes
>        Sect 4: if I understood well, there are 4 encapusulations and modes 
for BFD: UDP/IP/LSP; CC mode in G-ACh; UPD/IP in G-ACh e CC/CV mode in G-ACh.
>        Do all of them satisfy transport requirements?
>        I understand they are not interoperable (as well as the two BFD mode 
for the same CC/CV in G-Ach encapsulation). Is it correct?
