Hi,

Thanks for addressing my comments and including the YANG model.

Here are more comments for the latest version:

2 LSR Working Group                                                L. Gong
3 Internet-Draft                                                  W. Cheng
4 Updates: 6987, 8870 (if approved)                           China Mobile
This should be 8770, not 8870.

94    This document proposes a mechanism to advertise infinity links in
95    OSPF.
This document specifies using LSLinkInfinity(oxffff) to advertise an OSPF
link as unreachable.

Section 2 needs some editorial work. For example:
109    A network topology is shown in Figure 1.  There is a link available
110    for Traffic Engineering between Node A and E.  If this link is used
111    for SPF calculations, best-effort traffic will be routed on the link.
Suggested text:
 A network topology is shown in Figure 1.  There is a link available
for Traffic Engineering only between Node A and E.  If this link is
included in the
SPF calculations, best-effort traffic may be routed over the link.

I'd suggest merging Section 3 with Section 4.1 or updating Section 3,
especially section 3 is not including the requirement that all routers
within an area need to advertise the capability.
>From section 4.1:
"
237    OSPF Routers MUST NOT treat links with an advertised metric of
238    LSLinkInfinity as unreachable unless all routers in the OSPF area
239    have advertised this capability.
"

223    To provide backward compatibility, this document defines that routers
224    supporting LSLinkInfinity for unreachable links MUST advertise a
225    Router Information (RI) LSA advertisement of a Router Functional
226    Capabilities TLV [RFC7770] including the following Router Functional
227    Capability Bit:
MUST advertise a Router Information (RI) LSA advertisement of a Router
Functional Capabilities TLV ->
MUST advertise a Router Information (RI) LSA with a Router Functional
Capabilities TLV

Thanks,
Yingzhen
