Document: draft-ietf-ospf-link-overload-10 Reviewer: Joel Halpern Review Date: 2017-12-21 IETF LC End Date: None IESG Telechat date: 2018-01-25 Summary: This document is almost ready for publication as a Proposed Standard. Major issues: If a remote IPv4 address is needed in some cases for link identification, then does it not follow that for IPv6 usage with OSPFv3, a remote IPv6 address is also needed? Minor issues: Why is the remote IPv4 address TLV being defined here? It is not specific to link maintenance. If this is the first place it is needed, could the text at least be clearer that this is a general purpose sub-TLV, not specific to the link maintenance indication? Nits/editorial comments: Given that this document specifically states that the problem to be solved is the desire to take a link out of service, I would strongly prefer that the option being defined by named to match the goal. The link being modified is not overloaded. Could this be renamed the link pending-maintenance indication or something along those lines? I realize the working group knows what it means. But the point of naming is so that folks looking later can understand or find the item.
