Hello,

I have been selected as the Routing Directorate reviewer for this draft. The Routing Directorate seeks to review all routing or routing-related drafts as they pass through IETF last call and IESG review, and sometimes on special request. The purpose of the review is to provide assistance to the Routing ADs. For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see ​http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir

Although these comments are primarily for the use of the Routing ADs, it would be helpful if you could consider them along with any other IETF Last Call comments that you receive, and strive to resolve them through discussion or by updating the draft.

Document: draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-relay-reply-10
Reviewer: Andy Malis
Review Date: 24 September 2015
IETF LC End Date: 25 September 2015
Intended Status: Standards Track

Summary:

This document is basically ready for publication, but has one minor issue and some nits that should be considered prior to publication.

Comments:

This review is based on the file https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-relay-reply-10.txt .

This is probably one of the most reviewed drafts I have ever seen, going back to when it was an individual draft and then through its various stages in (and back to) the working group. Thanks to its many reviews and reviewers, the draft is technically correct and generally easy to follow. Thus, there is very little to add at this stage.

Major Issues:

No major issues found.

Minor Issues:

On Sept. 17, Joel Halpern wrote the Gen-art Review for this draft.

I agree with his comment regarding the address stack, and his proposed sentence to be added to section 3.2.

Nits:

The abbreviation AN for Access Node is defined slightly after its first use, which is earlier in the same line in the document (line 197 in the .txt file).

On lines 303 and 363, the word "octets" is misspelled.

Cheers,
Andy

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits

Abstract


   In some inter autonomous system (AS) and inter-area deployment
   scenarios for RFC 4379 "Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping and
   Traceroute", a replying Label Switching Router (LSR) may not have the
   available route to an initiator, and the Echo Reply message sent to
   the initiator would be discarded resulting in false negatives or
   complete failure of operation of LSP Ping and Traceroute.  This
   document describes extensions to LSP Ping mechanism to enable the
   replying LSR to have the capability to relay the Echo Response by a
   set of routable intermediate nodes to the initiator.  This document
   updates RFC 4379.
