Hi Rebecca, As the responsible AD, I agree with the authors that a change in the inclusive language is not necessary in this case.

We have updated the document accordingly (see list of files below). We also have a few followup questions/comments. 1) >>> d) Would either of the following read more clearly? Or is the current okay? >>> >>> Current: >>> the Dummy IPv6 Prefix range 100:0:0:1::/64 >>> >>> Perhaps ("address block" instead of "range"): >>> the Dummy IPv6 Prefix address block 100:0:0:1::/64 >>> >>> Or ("address block" and parentheses): >>> the Dummy IPv6 Prefix address block (100:0:0:1::/64) > > I don't think parenthesis are needed but "address block" is good. “range” is used a few other times in the document aside from the context of "Dummy IPv6 Prefix range 100:0:0:1::/64”. Should those instances of “range” also be updated to “address block”? Or are these okay? 2) >>> 9) <!-- [rfced] We do not see "demultiplex" in Section 3.1. Please review >>> and let >>> us know if any updates are needed. >>> >>> Original: >>> If the BFD Control packet is encapsulated in IP/UDP, then >>> the source IP address MUST be used to demultiplex the received BFD >>> Control packet as described in Section 3.1. >>> --> > > I do not think Section 3.1 needs any further change. It is about > encapsulation while demultiplexing is about handling on receipt. Because Section 3.1 is about encapsulation, would moving the section pointer to earlier in the sentence (i.e., after "encapsulated in IP/UDP”) be better? Or is the current okay? Perhaps: If the BFD Control packet is encapsulated in IP/UDP as described in Section 3.1, then the source IP address MUST be used to demultiplex the received BFD Control packet. 3) >>> 23) <!-- [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the >>> online >>> Style Guide >>> <https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rfc-editor.org%2Fstyleguide%2Fpart2%2F%23inclusive_language&data=05%7C02%7Cjames.n.guichard%40futurewei.com%7Cd3244f5cd05440c19d3e08dd93ebe0a5%7C0fee8ff2a3b240189c753a1d5591fedc%7C1%7C1%7C638829363503887708%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C60000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=m9VrlRN4ksu3tWcNh31cuLq3P2Po6iPRRWnOeYvtGZU%3D&reserved=0<https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language>> >>> and let us know if any changes are needed.
