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. Original: [SR-TE-POLICY] Previdi, S., Filsfils, C., Talaulikar, K., Mattes, P., and D. Jain, "Advertising Segment Routing Policies in BGP", Work in Progress, Internet-Draft, draft-ietf-idr-segment- routing-te-policy-26, 23 October 2023, <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-idr- segment-routing-te-policy-26>. Perhaps: [BGP-SR-SEGTYPES-EXT] Talaulikar, K., Filsfils, C., Previdi, S., Mattes, P., and D. Jain, "Segment Routing Segment Types Extensions for BGP SR Policy", Work in Progress, Internet-Draft, draft-ietf- idr-bgp-sr-segtypes-ext-06, 7 November 2024, <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-idr-bgp- sr-segtypes-ext-06>. [SR-BGP-POLICY] Previdi, S., Filsfils, C., Talaulikar, K., Mattes, P., and D. Jain, "Advertising Segment Routing Policies in BGP", Work in Progress, Internet-Draft, draft-ietf-idr-sr- policy-safi-10, 7 November 2024, <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-idr-sr- policy-safi-10>. --> 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. --> Thank you.
