Hi Paul, 

Thanks for the comments. 
Regarding nits: we followed the usual way, just show the value field. But I 
don't mind to make a complete figure. 
Minor issue: you're quiet right. It should be a MUST here.  
We will address these comments in next version. Thanks again. 

BR,
Amy

Summary:

This draft is on the right track but has open issues, described in the
review.

Issues:

Major: 0
Minor: 1
Nits:  1

1) NIT:

Section 3.1 includes the following:

    ... The Ethernet SENDER_TSPEC object
    MAY include more than one Availability TLV. The Availability TLV has
    the following format:

        0                   1                   2                   3
        0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |    Index      |                 Reserved                      |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |                          Availability                         |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

I find it confusing that this is described as a TLV yet it shows neither
a type nor a length. Apparently it is only showing the value portion of
the TLV. The type portion is only mentioned in the IANA considerations
section, and isn't explicitly linked to this element. I would expect
this to be shown something like:

        0                   1                   2                   3
        0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |    Type=4                     | Length=96                     |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |    Index      |                 Reserved                      |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |                          Availability                         |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

(But the type value needs to be keyed to the IANA assigned value, since
there is no guarantee that IANA will assign 4 for this.)

2) MINOR:

Section 3.2 includes the following:

    When a node does not support the Availability TLV, it SHOULD
    generate PathErr message with the error code "Extended Class-Type
    Error" and the error value "Class-Type mismatch" (see [RFC2205]).

I have a question about this: Is this the default behavior that is
prescribed for any unknown TLV type found in an Ethernet SENDER_TSPEC
object, or is this behavior specific to the "availability" TLV? It is a
problem if this is not the default behavior.

And is there a reason for SHOULD (rather than MUST) here? If so, please
describe the situations where this need not be done.
