I have been selected as the QA reviewer for draft-ietf-idr-ls-trill-01.txt. For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir   Summary:   I think that this draft is straightforward and well written. I have only a couple of questions and some very minor nits.   I can see situations in which putting TRILL information into BGP may make sense, particularly in the case of providing TRILL information to a SDN controller as pointed out in the draft. Due to the close relationship of this draft to the work in TRILL I have CC’d the TRILL working group on this review and I assume that the TRILL working group will similarly be informed when the document goes to WGLC.     Questions:   Section 1, second to last paragraph states:      If ESADI (End Station Address Distribution Information) protocol    [RFC7357] is used for control plane MAC learning in each data center,    BGP LS also can be used for MAC address reachability information    synchronization across multiple TRILL domains.  End-to-end unicast    forwarding paths can be calculated based on the synchronized    information.   Would this be limited to the case where routes are computed by SDN controllers? I am thinking that if instead the MAC reachability from one data center is passed via BGP and fed back into TRILL in a different data center then this would lead to significant issues which have not been discussed in this document.     Section 5 (security considerations) states:      Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this document do not    affect the BGP security model.  See [RFC6952] for details.   I am not a TRILL expert and therefore might not fully understand all cases in which TRILL is used. I am however wondering if there are TRILL-specific issues in that the TRILL information must only be passed to TRILL capable devices. I am also wondering whether there is any valid use of “TRILL in BGP” other than passing TRILL information to SDN controllers. Passing TRILL information from one TRILL domain to another TRILL domain and then redistributing the information back into normal TRILL packets seems like a bad idea at first glance. I am wondering if this section should say something like “this protocol MUST be used ONLY for passing TRILL information from TRILL devices to SDN controllers, and for passing TRILL information between SDN controllers.     Very minor nits:   Section 2 defines the RFC2119 terms and abbreviations used in this document in the same section with no subsections. I think that it is more normal to have a subsection for RFC 2119 terms and a different subsection for abbreviations used in this document.   Section 3, first paragraph, last sentence: “…multicast group address, and  etc.” should be “…multicast group address, etc.”.   Section 3.1, “iS-IS” should be “IS-IS”.   Section 4, second paragraph, I thought that it was a bit odd for a document to reference itself, as in “An implementation of this specification[idr-ls-trill], MUST do…”. Would this be a bit less awkward as: “Any implementation of the protocol in this specification (ie that distributes TRILL Link-State information using BGP), MUST do…”.     That is all that I found in a couple of readings of this document, Thanks, Ross
