Hi RFC Editor, all


Thanks for the document.



Please find below some comments.



Some comments are beyond editorial (§7.1, §5.4). Someone please review and ack.



§5

In figure 1, the link/line from R2 to N1 is significantly offset from N1. It 
looks doable to better align the link & N1



OLD:

  S ------- N1 ----------- D

§5.4

OLD: post- convergence

NEW: post-convergence

§5.4

OLD:  As mentioned in Section 
3<https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9855.html#base>, a list of adjacency 
SIDs can be used to encode the path between P and Q. However, the PLR can 
perform additional computations to compute a list of segments that represent a 
loop-free path from P to Q.



Problem: "a list of adjacency SIDs" _is_ (already) "a list of segments".



Proposed NEW: As mentioned in Section 
3<https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9855.html#base>, a list of adjacency 
SIDs can be used to encode the path between P and Q. However, the PLR can 
perform additional computations to compute a shorter list of segments that 
represent a loop-free path from P to Q.



(+ 'shorter')

Alternatively, we could introduce the term "node SIDs' to explicit the 
difference compared to the list of adjacency SIDs, but this may be harder to 
phrase and less general.

e.g, Proposed NEW2: As mentioned in Section 
3<https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9855.html#base>, a list of adjacency 
SIDs can be used to encode the path between P and Q. However, the PLR can 
perform additional computations to compute a list of node and adjacency 
segments that represent a loop-free path from P to Q.

§7.1



OLD: If the active segment is a node segment that has been signaled with 
penultimate hop popping, and the repair list ends with an adjacency segment 
terminating on a node that advertised the "NEXT" operation 
[RFC8402<https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9855.html#RFC8402>] of the 
active segment, then the active segment MUST be popped before pushing the 
repair list.



Problem: the penultimate does not really "advertise' the NEXT operation. 
(penultimate of popping is advertised by the ultimate node)



Proposed NEW: If the active segment is a node segment that has been signaled 
with penultimate hop popping, and the repair list ends with an adjacency 
segment terminating on the penultimate node of the active segment, then the 
active segment MUST be popped before pushing the repair list.

     *        |           |  *

      * C --- D --- E --- F *





Note:

  *   "In  Figure 3, we consider a network with all metrics equal to 1 except 
the metrics on links used by PE1, PE2, and PE3, which are 1000."
  *   In all other Figures (1 & 2), we used a convention to use "**" for the 
links having the high metric. I'd propose that we do the same convention for 
Figure 3.

Appendix A



"Another consideration to take into account is as follows: While using the 
expected post-convergence path"



I'm not familiar with English typographic rules, but I would not have expected 
an upper case "W" for "While"



--

Appendix A



OLD:

   The measurement below indicates that, for link and local SRLG

   protection, a 1-SID repair path delivers more than 99% coverage.  For

   node protection, a 2-SID repair path yields 99% coverage.

[...]

   The measurements listed in the tables indicate that for link and

   local SRLG protection, a 1-SID repair path is sufficient to protect

   more than 99% of the prefix in almost all cases.  For node

   protection, 2-SID repair paths yield 99% coverage.







This seems like a duplicate. I would suggest removing the second paragraph.





NEW:

   The measurement below indicates that, for link and local SRLG

   protection, a 1-SID repair path delivers more than 99% coverage.  For

   node protection, a 2-SID repair path yields 99% coverage.





In addition, text is not strictly correct. It's not "a 1-SID repair path" but 
"a 1-SID or less repair path. Idem for "2-SID.



Hence NEW2:



   The measurement below indicates that, for link and local SRLG

   protection, a 1-SID or less repair path delivers more than 99% coverage.  For

   node protection, a 2-SID or less repair path yields 99% coverage.



Feel free to reword in a better way.

Appendix A



Nit picking... I would propose



OLD: 100.0%

NEW: 100%



(in all tables)



(as it's mathematically not possible to go beyond 100%, the extra decimal digit 
is useless, while slightly reduce readability)





Thanks,

Best regards,

--Bruno

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.
