Authors, While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as necessary) the following questions, which are also in the XML file.
1) <!-- [rfced] Please note that the title of the document has been updated as follows. Abbreviations have been expanded per Section 3.6 of RFC 7322 ("RFC Style Guide"). Original: Active OAM for use in Geneve Current: Active Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) for Use in Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve) --> 2) <!--[rfced] Please clarify; is it possible that each endpoint (rather than the two endpoints together) is an interface of an NVE? If so, we suggest updating this sentence as follows. Original: Active OAM messages in a Geneve overlay network are exchanged between two Geneve tunnel endpoints, which may be the tenant-facing interface of the Network Virtualization Edge (NVE) or another device acting as a Geneve tunnel endpoint. Perhaps: Active OAM messages in a Geneve overlay network are exchanged between two Geneve tunnel endpoints; each endpoint may be the tenant-facing interface of the Network Virtualization Edge (NVE) or another device acting as a Geneve tunnel endpoint. --> 3) <!--[rfced] Should "follow the same overlay and transport path" be plural "paths"? Original: Specifically, the OAM test packets MUST be in-band with the monitored traffic and follow the same overlay and transport path as packets carrying data payloads in the forward direction, i.e., from the ingress toward the egress endpoint(s) of the OAM test. Perhaps: Specifically, the OAM test packets MUST be in-band with the monitored traffic and follow the same overlay and transport paths as packets carrying data payloads in the forward direction, i.e., from the ingress toward the egress endpoint(s) of the OAM test. --> 4) <!--[rfced] How may "from the underlay network IP forwarding point of view" be rephrased for clarity? Original: Requirement 2: The encapsulation of OAM control messages and data packets in the underlay network MUST be indistinguishable from each other from the underlay network IP forwarding point of view. Perhaps: Requirement 2: The encapsulation of OAM control messages and data packets in the underlay network MUST be indistinguishable from each other from the point of view of the forwarding in the IP underlay network. (We note the phrase "the forwarding in the IP underlay network" is used in Section 2.2.) --> 5) <!--[rfced] Regarding Section 2.3, the IANA actions for draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-bfd are not yet complete, i.e., the Dummy-IPv6-Prefix requested by draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-bfd has not yet been assigned, so the text of this document has not been updated. Should a reference to draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-bfd be added? We note that https://www.iana.org/performance/ietf-draft-status lists draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-bfd as waiting on authors since 22 Feb 2025. Unless the text is changed to remove this prefix, this document will remain in AUTH48 until the Dummy-IPv6-Prefix has been assigned. ORIGINAL: Inner IP header: Destination IP: The IP address MUST be set to the loopback address 127.0.0.1/32 for IPv4 version. For IPv6, the address MUST be selected from the Dummy IPv6 Prefix for IPv6 *Dummy-IPv6-Prefix*. A source-only IPv6 dummy address is used as the destination to generate an exception and a reply message to the request message received. [Note to RFC Editor: Please replace *Dummy-IPv6-Prefix* with the actual value allocated (requested in draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-bfd) in IANA IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry.] --> 6) <!--[rfced] Please consider whether "dummy" would be more clear as "example" or "placeholder" or similar. Original: the Dummy IPv6 Prefix Original: A source-only IPv6 dummy address --> 7) <!-- [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.

Once it has been reviewed and approved by you and all coauthors, it will be published as an RFC. If an author is no longer available, there are several remedies available as listed in the FAQ (https://www.rfc-editor.org/faq/). You and you coauthors are responsible for engaging other parties (e.g., Contributors or Working Group) as necessary before providing your approval. Planning your review --------------------- Please review the following aspects of your document: * RFC Editor questions Please review and resolve any questions raised by the RFC Editor that have been included in the XML file as comments marked as follows: <!-- [rfced] ... --> These questions will also be sent in a subsequent email. * Changes submitted by coauthors Please ensure that you review any changes submitted by your coauthors. We assume that if you do not speak up that you agree to changes submitted by your coauthors. * Content Please review the full content of the document, as this cannot change once the RFC is published. Please pay particular attention to: - IANA considerations updates (if applicable) - contact information - references * Copyright notices and legends Please review the copyright notice and legends as defined in RFC 5378 and the Trust Legal Provisions (TLP – https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info). * Semantic markup Please review the markup in the XML file to ensure that elements of content are correctly tagged. For example, ensure that <sourcecode> and <artwork> are set correctly. See details at <https://authors.ietf.org/rfcxml-vocabulary>. * Formatted output Please review the PDF, HTML, and TXT files to ensure that the formatted output, as generated from the markup in the XML file, is reasonable. Please note that the TXT will have formatting limitations compared to the PDF and HTML. Submitting changes ------------------ To submit changes, please reply to this email using ‘REPLY ALL’ as all the parties CCed on this message need to see your changes. The parties include: * your coauthors * rfc-edi...@rfc-editor.org (the RPC team) * other document participants, depending on the stream (e.g., IETF Stream participants are your working group chairs, the responsible ADs, and the document shepherd). * auth48archive@rfc-editor.org, which is a new archival mailing list to preserve AUTH48 conversations; it is not an active discussion list: * More info: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/yb6lpIGh-4Q9l2USxIAe6P8O4Zc * The archive itself: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/auth48archive/ * Note: If only absolutely necessary, you may temporarily opt out of the archiving of messages (e.g., to discuss a sensitive matter). If needed, please add a note at the top of the message that you have dropped the address. When the discussion is concluded, auth48archive@rfc-editor.org will be re-added to the CC list and its addition will be noted at the top of the message. You may submit your changes in one of two ways: An update to the provided XML file — OR — An explicit list of changes in this format Section # (or indicate Global) OLD: old text NEW: new text You do not need to reply with both an updated XML file and an explicit list of changes, as either form is sufficient. We will ask a stream manager to review and approve any changes that seem beyond editorial in nature, e.g., addition of new text, deletion of text, and technical changes. Information about stream managers can be found in the FAQ. Editorial changes do not require approval from a stream manager. Approving for publication -------------------------- To approve your RFC for publication, please reply to this email stating that you approve this RFC for publication. Please use ‘REPLY ALL’, as all the parties CCed on this message need to see your approval.
