Authors, While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as necessary) the following questions, which are also in the XML file.
1) <!-- [rfced] Please review the following questions regarding this document's title: a.) Per Section 3.6 of RFC 7322 ("RFC Style Guide"), abbreviations should be expanded in document titles and upon first use in the document. How would you like to expand "CDN" in the title and running text? b.) In addition, we note "TreeDN" is not expanded in the document. Is TreeDN meant to be an abbreviation or just a general term? Please let us know how to update the document's title to better reflect your intent. Original: TreeDN- Tree-based CDNs for Live Streaming to Mass Audiences Perhaps 1 (describes TreeDN as a term): TreeDN: Tree-Based Content Delivery Network (CDN) for Live Streaming to Mass Audiences or Perhaps 2 (TreeDN appears to be an abbreviation): Tree-Based Content Delivery Network (TreeDN) for Live Streaming to Mass Audiences --> 2) <!-- [rfced] The RFC Style Guide (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7322.html#section-4) states that RFCs must have an Introduction. We have added an Introduction and copied in text from the Abstract; please review and let us know if any changes or updates should be made. --> 3) <!-- [rfced] We note that MUST and SHOULD are capitalized in Sections 7.1 and 7.2. These appear to be the requirement key words defined in RFC 2119, so we have added the paragraph describing their usage and cited RFCs 2119 and 8174 as normative references. If that was not your intention, please let us know any objections. --> 4) <!-- [rfced] FYI - For readability, we have updated the text below as follows. Please review and let us know any objections. Original: To achieve ubiquitous availability on the global Internet, this essentially means nearly every interface on every router and firewall between all end hosts must support a multicast routing protocol like Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM- SM) [RFC7761] or Multipoint Label Distribution Protocol (mLDP) [RFC6388]. Current: To achieve ubiquitous availability on the global Internet, this essentially means that nearly every interface on every router and firewall between all end hosts must support a multicast routing protocol (such as Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM- SM) [RFC7761] or the Multipoint Label Distribution Protocol (mLDP) [RFC6388]). --> 5) <!-- [rfced] Please review the following questions regarding the text below. a.) Although the term "SR P2MP" does appear in RFC 9524, RFC 9524 cites the Internet-Draft "draft-ietf-pim-sr-p2mp-policy-10" [P2MP-POLICY] as the source of this term. Should the citation to "[RFC9524]" be updated to "[P2MP-POLICY]" instead? b.) Per Section 3.6 of RFC 7322 ("RFC Style Guide"), abbreviations should be expanded upon first use. How would you like to expand "VRF" below? Note that RFC 9300 uses "Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)". Original: However, any multicast routing protocol capable of supporting SSM can be used as a TreeDN native on-net, such as mLDP, Global Table Multicast (GTM) [RFC7716] and BGP-based Multicast [I-D.ietf-bess-bgp-multicast], or even BGP-MVPN [RFC6513] for those operators who carry the global routing table in a VRF. Likewise, any data plane technology that supports SSM, including BIER [RFC8279] and SR-P2MP [I-D.ietf-spring-sr-replication-segment] can be used. Perhaps: However, any multicast routing protocol capable of supporting SSM can be used as a TreeDN native on-net, such as mLDP, Global Table Multicast (GTM) [RFC7716] and BGP-based Multicast [BGP-MULTICAST], or even BGP Multicast VPN (BGP-MVPN) [RFC6513] for those operators who carry the global Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) table. Likewise, any data plane technology that supports SSM, including Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) [RFC8279] and Segment Routing (SR) Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) [P2MP-POLICY], can be used. --> 6) <!-- [rfced] For clarity, may we update the text below as follows? Original: In many cases, these issues are more related to TCP-UDP differences than unicast- multicast differences, thus UDP-based solutions can be leveraged to address most gaps. Perhaps: In many cases, these issues are more related to differences between TCP and UDP than differences between unicast and multicast; thus, UDP-based solutions can be leveraged to address most gaps. --> 7) <!-- [rfced] May we update the text below as follows for ease of the reader? Original: Since SSM inherently implies unidirectional traffic flows from one to many, mechanisms that rely on bidirectional communication between receivers and the content provider, such as bespoke advertising, telemetry data from receivers detailing end user experience, distribution of decryption keys, switching to higher/lower bandwidth streams, etc, are not well suited to SSM delivery. Perhaps: Since SSM inherently implies that unidirectional traffic flows from one to many, mechanisms that rely on bidirectional communication between receivers and the content provider (such as bespoke advertising, telemetry data from receivers detailing end-user experience, distribution of decryption keys, switching to higher or lower bandwidth streams, etc.) are not well suited to SSM delivery. --> 8) <!-- [rfced] FYI - We have updated the text below to avoid the duplicate appearance of these terms. Please review and let us know any objections. Original: DVB MABR [DVB-MABR] and MAUD [MAUD] extensively describe an architecture that enables reliability and dynamic bitrate adaptation. DVB MABR [DVB-MABR] and MAUD [MAUD] extensively describe an architecture that includes encryption of multicast streams. Current: [DVB-MABR] and [MAUD] extensively describe an architecture that enables reliability and dynamic bitrate adaptation.

Original: That is, even if unauthorized end hosts (eg, non- paying) receive the datastream, without decryption keys, the data is useless. Perhaps: That is, even if unauthorized end hosts (e.g., non-paying end hosts) receive the data stream, without decryption keys, the data is useless. --> 10) <!-- [rfced] May we update the text below for clarity? Please let us know if it changes the sentence's intended meaning. Original: That is, the BGP peer advertising the reachability of the source's subnet can do so in ways that can prefer a particular path through the network for multicast distribution that are not as easy to accomplish with traditional, destination-based unicast routing. Perhaps: That is, the BGP peer advertising the reachability of the source's subnet can do so in ways where a particular path through the network is preferred for multicast distribution; these methods are not as easy to accomplish with traditional, destination-based unicast routing. --> 11) <!-- [rfced] Please review the use of the "/" character to separate terms throughout this document and let us know if it may be updated for clarity. In some cases, it may be unclear to the reader whether the "/" stands for "and", "or", or "and/or". Originals: As Internet audience sizes for high-interest live events reach unprecedented levels and bitrates climb to support 4K/8K/Augmented Reality (AR)... ...(LISP) [RFC9300] can be utilized to deliver content from multicast-enabled networks to end hosts that are separated by portions of the network (at the last/middle/first mile) that do not support multicast. Decentralization/Democratization of Content Sourcing That is, multicast routers maintain a forwarding cache of multicast flows that usually includes the source address, group address, incoming/outgoing interfaces and forwarding rate. Additionally, since multicast leverages reverse-path forwarding (RPF), the source of the content can potentially have a greater influence over the path taken through the network from source to native receivers/AMT relays. In particular, Section 6 of [RFC7450] candidly notes that AMT, like UDP, IGMP and MLD, provides no mechanisms for ensuring message delivery or integrity, nor does it provide confidentiality, since sources/groups joined through IGMP/MLD could be associated with the particular content being requested. --> 12) <!-- [rfced] Abbreviations a) FYI - We have added expansions for abbreviations upon first use per Section 3.6 of RFC 7322 ("RFC Style Guide"). Please review each expansion in the document carefully to ensure correctness.

Updates of this nature typically result in more precise language, which is helpful for readers. a.) For example, please consider whether various instances of "native" and "natively" should be updated throughout this document. b.) In addition, please consider whether "traditional" should be updated for clarity. While the NIST website <https://www.nist.gov/nist-research-library/ nist-technical-series-publications-author-instructions#table1> indicates that this term is potentially biased, it is also ambiguous. "Tradition" is a subjective term, as it is not the same for everyone. --> Thank you.
