Authors,

While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as necessary) the 
following questions, which are also in the XML file.

1) <!--[rfced] We updated "MPLS Data Plane" to "MPLS Data Planes" in the
document title. If that is not correct and it should be singular,
please let us know. We also added a hyphen to "EPE SIDs" in the
abbreviated title that spans the PDF to match the running text.

Original:
(title)
   Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping/Traceroute for Segment Routing (SR)
   Egress Peer Engineering (EPE) Segment Identifiers (SIDs) with MPLS
   Data Plane

(short title)
   LSP for SR EPE SIDs with MPLS

Current:
(title)
   Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping/Traceroute for Segment Routing (SR)
   Egress Peer Engineering (EPE) Segment Identifiers (SIDs) with MPLS
   Data Planes

(short title)
   LSP for SR EPE-SIDs with MPLS
-->


2) <!-- [rfced] FYI - In Figure 1, we updated "AS 2", "AS 3", and "AS 4"
to have no spaces in order to match "AS1" in the diagram and
"AS2" and "AS3" in the subsequent text. Please let us know if
there is any objection.

   AS 2 > AS2
   AS 3 > AS3
   AS 4 > AS4
-->


3) <!--[rfced] Please clarify this sentence. Are SR paths built using either
EPE-SIDs or PCEP extensions? Please let us know which option is preferred.
      
Original:
   These EPE-SIDs may be used to build Segment Routing paths as described
   in [I-D.ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy] or using Path Computation
   Element Protocol (PCEP) extensions as defined in [RFC8664].

Perhaps A:
   These EPE-SIDs may be used to build SR paths as described
   in [SR-TE-POLICY]], or Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) 
   extensions as defined in [RFC8664] may be used.
or

Perhaps B:
   SR paths are built using these EPE-SIDs as described in [SR-TE-POLICY]
   or Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) extensions as defined in 
   [RFC8664].
-->


4) <!--[rfced] Would it be correct to say that the extensions do not
define how to "acquire" or "acquire and carry" the details of the
SID, or is the intension to only mention "carry"? We ask because
the next few sentences discuss how the node can "acquire the
details".

Original:
   The extensions in [I-D.ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy] and
   [RFC8664] do not define how to carry the details of the SID 
   that can be used to construct the FEC.

Perhaps:
   The extensions in [SR-TE-POLICY] and [RFC8664] do not define how 
   to acquire and carry the details of the SID that can be used to 
   construct the FEC.
-->


5) <!--[rfced] It appears that Table 1 (Section 4) and Table 2 (Section 6)
are the same. Would you like to remove Table 1 and add a link to
Table 2 (which would then become Table 1) as shown below?

Current:
   In this document, three new sub-TLVs are defined for the Target FEC
   Stack TLV (Type 1), the Reverse-Path Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 16),
   and the Reply Path TLV (Type 21).

                      - Table 1 -

Perhaps:
   In this document, three new sub-TLVs are defined for the Target FEC
   Stack TLV (Type 1), the Reverse-Path Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 16),
   and the Reply Path TLV (Type 21); see Table 1.
-->


6) <!--[rfced] Is "the OAM packet will be sent out" an example of what is
specified? We updated this sentence as reflected below; if that
is not correct, please let us know.

Original:
   As per [RFC8029], the node advertising the EPE SIDs will send  
   Downstream Detailed Mapping (DDMAP TLV) specifying the details 
   of nexthop interfaces, the OAM packet will be sent out.  

Current:
   As per [RFC8029], the node advertising the EPE-SIDs will send a 
   Downstream Detailed Mapping (DDMAP) TLV specifying the details 
   of the next-hop interfaces, e.g., when the OAM packet will be 
   sent out.  
-->


7) <!--[rfced] We believe that the slash indicates "or" in these
instances, so we updated accordingly for clarity. If that is not
correct or desired, please let us know.

Original:
   Local Interface Address :4 octets/16 octets

   Remote Interface Address :4 octets/16 octets

Current:
   Local Interface Address: 4 octets or 16 octets

   Remote Interface Address: 4 octets or 16 octets
-->


8) <!-- [rfced] FYI - For conciseness, we updated this sentence as
follows. Please let us know if there is any objection.

Original:
   [RFC9086] allows optional link descriptors of local and
   remote interface addresses as described in section 4.2.

Current:
   Optional link descriptors of local and remote interface
   addresses are allowed as described in Section 4.2 of [RFC9086].
-->


9) <!-- [rfced] FYI - Since "RECOMMENDED", not "RECOMMENDS", is a BCP 14
key word, we rephrased the text as shown below.

Original:
   This document RECOMMENDs sending these optional descriptors and using
   them to validate incoming interface.

Current:
   In this document, it is RECOMMENDED to send these optional descriptors
   and use them to validate incoming interfaces.
-->


10) <!--[rfced] Is it intentional that instances of "No.of" do not contain
a space? Please let us know if this should remain as is or if a
space can be added (e.g., "No. of"). Note that there are seven
occurrences.

Two examples (see the text for more):

Original:
  No.of elements in set

  Length = (20 + No.of IPv4 interface pairs * 8 

Perhaps:
  No. of elements in set

  Length = (20 + No. of IPv4 interface pairs * 8 
-->     


11) <!--[rfced] Should "variable" be singular (option A) or plural 
(option B) in the following sentence?

Original:
 Value:  Expressed in octets and variable based on the number of
      elements in the set. 

Perhaps A:
 Value:  Expressed in octets and a variable based on the number of
      elements in the set. 
or

Perhaps B:
 Value:  Expressed in octets and variables based on the number of
      elements in the set. 
-->


12) <!-- [rfced] We notice that the titles of Sections 5 and 5.1 are the
same. How may we update these to avoid confusion? Is Section 5.1
perhaps the example validation, e.g., "EPE-SID FEC Validation
Examples" (option A) or "Segment Routing IGP-Prefix, IGP-Adjacency
SID, and EPE-SID Validation Examples (option B)?

Original:
   5.    EPE-SID FEC validation 
   5.1.  EPE-SID FEC validation 

Perhaps A:
   5.    EPE-SID FEC Validation 
   5.1.  EPE-SID FEC Validation Examples

or 

Perhaps B:
   5.    EPE-SID FEC Validation 
   5.1.  Segment Routing IGP-Prefix, IGP-Adjacency SID,
         and EPE-SID Validation Examples
-->


13) <!--[rfced] Section 5.1. 

a) Please let us know how we may clarify the first sentence 
in this section. Are Segment Routing IGP-Prefix, IGP-Adjacency 
SID, and EPE-SID being validated, and is the term "receiving node"
implying that the node received the OAM message as shown below?

Original:
   Segment Routing IGP-Prefix, IGP-Adjacency SID and EPE-SID Validation:
   Receiving node term used in this section implies the node that
   receives OAM message with the FEC stack TLV.

Perhaps:
   This is an example of Segment Routing IGP-Prefix, IGP-Adjacency SID, and 
   EPE-SID validations.  Note that the term "receiving node" in this section
   implies that the node receives the OAM message with the FEC stack TLV.
  

b) For clarity, may we update "If any below conditions fail" to "Check if any 
conditions below fail" (note that there are 4 instances)?

Original:
   If any below conditions fail:

   - Validate that the receiving node's BGP...

Perhaps:
   Check if any conditions below fail:

   - Validate that the receiving node's BGP...

c) Should the text reflect "the receiving node's BGP" or 
"the Receiving Node BGP" for consistency (note that there
are multiple instances)?

d) Should "the remote AS field" or "one of the remote AS 
fields" be used for consistency? 

Original:
   -  Validate that the receiving node's BGP Local AS matches
      with the remote AS field in the received PeerNode SID
      FEC sub-TLV.

   -  Validate that the Receiving Node BGP Local AS matches
      with one of the remote AS field in the received
      PeerSet SID FEC sub-TLV.

e) Should citations be included for return codes 3 and 10? Should 
"<RSC>" be added to the descriptions to match how they appear in
RFC 8029?

Original:
   Set the Best-return-code to 10, "Mapping for this FEC is not
   the given label at stack-depth".  If any below conditions fail:

   If all above validations have passed, set the return code to 3,
   "Replying router is an egress for the FEC at stack-depth".

Perhaps:
   Set the Best-return-code to 10, "Mapping for this FEC is not
   the given label at stack-depth <RSC>" [RFC8029].  If any below 
   conditions fail:

   If all above validations have passed, set the return code to 3,
   "Replying router is an egress for the FEC at stack-depth <RSC>" 
   [RFC8029].
-->


14) <!-- [rfced] We have included some specific questions about the IANA
text below. In addition to responding to those questions, please
review all of the IANA-related updates carefully and let us know
if any further updates are needed.

a) It appears that the "IANA Considerations" section references the
"Sub-TLVs for TLV Types 1, 16, and 21" registry in the "Multiprotocol
Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters"
registry group, but it does not include a citation for this registry
here or in the references section.

May we add the following citation as a normative or informative 
reference as shown below?

Original:
   IANA is requested to allocate three new Target FEC stack sub-TLVs
   from the "Sub-TLVs for TLV types 1,16 and 21" subregistry in the
   "TLVs" registry of the "Multi-Protocol Label switching (MPLS) Label
   Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping parameters" namespace.

Perhaps:
   IANA has allocated three new Target FEC stack sub-TLVs in the
   "Sub-TLVs for TLV Types 1, 16, and 21" registry 
   [IANA-MPLS-LSP-PING-Parameters] within the "TLVs" registry of the 
   "Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) 
   Ping Parameters" registry group.

Reference:
   [IANA-MPLS-LSP-PING-Parameters]
       IANA, "Sub-TLVs for TLV Types 1, 16, and 21",
       <https://www.iana.org/assignments/mpls-lsp-ping-parameters>.


b) We have removed "Sub-TLV" from the entries in Tables 1 and 2 per
IANA's note. Please let us know if "Sub-TLV" should be 
removed from any other instances in the running text for consistency.
We note the following variations:

  PeerAdj SID 
  PeerAdj SID FEC
  PeerAdj SID FEC sub-TLV
  PeerAdj SID Sub-TLV 
  PeerAdj SID sub-TLV

  PeerSet SID sub-TLV
  PeerNode SID sub-TLV
-->


15) <!-- [rfced] Since 'draft-ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy'
is expired and has been replaced by
'draft-ietf-idr-bgp-sr-segtypes-ext' and
'draft-ietf-idr-sr-policy-safi', may we replace the current
reference entry with the entries for these two drafts?

Note that this would include adding two reference tags to the 
text in Section 2.

16) <!-- [rfced] May we update the title of the appendix to avoid the
repetition of "Appendix A: Appendix"? Perhaps "Examples of
Correctly and Incorrectly Programmed States" or "Examples of
Programmed States?

Current:
   Appendix A.  Appendix

Perhaps:
   Appendix A.  Examples of Programmed States
-->


17) <!-- [rfced] Terminology and Abbreviations

a) Throughout the text, the following terminology appears to be capitalized
inconsistently. Please review these occurrences and let us know if/how they
may be made consistent.

   Adj-Type vs. Adj type
   Integer vs. integer
   Local AS number vs. local AS number
   Local interface vs. local interface
   Link Descriptors vs. link descriptors 
   Remote interface vs. remote interface


b) How may we make these terms consistent? For the case, we suggest 
capitalizing "Target" and "Stack" to match use in RFC 8287 and 
other past RFCs. 

  Target FEC Stack TLV vs. 
  Target FEC stack TLV vs.
  target FEC stack TLV vs.
  target FEC stack
     [Note: should the last instance contain "TLV"?]
  
  FEC stack TLV vs. 
  FEC stack
     [Note: should "Target" be added to these instances? And
      should the last instance contain "TLV"?]

  Target FEC Stack sub-TLV vs. 
  Target FEC stack sub-TLV vs.
  Target FEC sub-TLV
    [Note: should "Stack" be added to the last instance?]


c) In the text, "Type 1" appears to have two different names. Are these meant
to be the same or different? We see "Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 1)" in RFC 8287.
Please let us know how/if we may update. Note that we recommend making "stack" 
uppercase for consistency.

Abstract:
   MPLS Target stack TLV (Type 1)

Section 4:
   Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 1)


d) It appears that in past RFCs, the term "FEC stack-depth" is used instead of
"FEC-stack-depth". Should we update to only one hyphen?


e) We see "MPLS Ping and Traceroute procedures" and "ping or traceroute 
packets" 
in the running text. Should 1 instance of "MPLS traceroute procedure" perhaps 
be 
"MPLS Ping and Traceroute procedures" for consistency?

Original:
   The data plane validation of the SID will be done during the 
   MPLS traceroute procedure. 

Perhaps:
   The data plane validation of the SID will be done during the 
   MPLS Ping and Traceroute procedures. 


f) FYI - We added expansions for the following abbreviations in the text.
Please review for accuracy.

   ASN: Access Service Network 
   BGP-LS: Border Gateway Protocol - Link State 
   EBGP: External BGP 
   OAM: Operations, Administration, and Maintenance 
-->


18) <!-- [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the online 
Style Guide <https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language>
and let us know if any changes are needed.  Updates of this nature typically
result in more precise language, which is helpful for readers.

Note that our script did not flag any words in particular, but this should 
still be reviewed as a best practice.
