Summary: This draft is almost ready for publication as a standard track RFC.

 

 

Major issues:

 

Minor issues:

In section 6.1 “ If specified more than once, instances preceding the first will be ignored and condition SHOULD be logged for possible action by the network operator.”  I am not sure what is meant by preceding the first.

 

 

Nits/editorial comments:

 

1. The following note appears in section 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3. “Note that the same values for the Inter-RA Export Upward sub-TLV and the Inter-RA Export Downward Sub-TLV MUST be used when they appear in the Link TLV, Node Attribute TLV, and Router Address TLV.” – why not have it in section 10 before section 10.1.
2. I saw in appendix  B that one of the changes from RFC 5787 was to clarify the terminology before defining extensions, I would have found it easier to read if the ASON hierarchy and the relation to OSPF in section 2 were presented in figures. This was more an issue to me as a reader not familiar with the terminology and I would like to think that the more familiar reader will not have problem.
