Document: draft-ietf-mpls-tp-p2mp-framework-05 Reviewer: Russ Housley Review Date: 2014-01-02 IETF LC End Date: 2014-01-16 IESG Telechat date: Unknown Summary: Ready for publication. Question: Should this document be an update to the MPLS-TP Framework (RFC 5921)? I am not sure. RFC 5921 does make it clear that it covers only point- to-point transport paths. The answer may be further complicated by the fact that RFC 5921 is joint work with the ITU-T. Major Concerns: None. Minor Concerns: None. Other Comments: In the first sentence of Section 1, please define MPLS-TP as follows: OLD: The Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile is the ... NEW: The Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is ... Please add TE-LSP to the terms defined in Section 1.2. In Section 5.1, I cannot understand this sentence: > > Per [RFC6373], the definitions of P2MP, [RFC4875], and GMPLS > recovery, [RFC4872] and [RFC4873], do not explicitly cover their > interactions. > I think that the references are getting in the way. I think the message is: "the definitions of P2MP and GMPLS recovery do not explicitly cover their interactions." If I am correct, then some commas need to be removed. The phrase "MPLS Transport Profile" appears many places, and it would be easier if they were replaces with "MPLS-TP" for consistency.
