Hi,

I've reviewed the document and have the following comments for the authors
to consider.

How about changing the title of the document to "OSPFv2 Anycast Property
Advertisement"?

21    Each OSPF prefix is advertised along with an 8-bit field of
22    capabilities, by using the flag flield in the OSPFv2 Extended Prefix
23    TLV, but the definition of anycast flag to identify the IPv4 prefix
24    as anycast has not yet been defined.
I don't think we need this in the Abstract.

90    The Flags field of the OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV (Section 2.1 of
91    [RFC7684]) has 5 unassigned bits remaining (see "OSPFv2 Extended
92    Prefix TLV Flags" IANA registry [IANA-OSPFv2-EPF]).
Suggested text:
The flags field of he OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV (Section 2.1 of
[RFC7684]) can be found in "OSPFv2 Extended
Prefix TLV Flags" IANA registry [IANA-OSPFv2-EPF].

94    This document updates [RFC7684], by defining a new flag in the OSPFv2
95    Extended Prefix TLV Flags [RFC7684] to advertise the anycast property
96    for an IPv4 prefix.
This document doesn't update RFC7684.
Suggested text:
This document defines a new flag in the OSPFv2
 Extended Prefix TLV Flags [RFC7684] to advertise the anycast property
for an IPv4 prefix.

106 2.  Use-case

108    In the absence of the N-flag, the node specific prefixes need to be
109    identified from the anycast prefixs.  A prefix that is advertised by
110    a single node and without an AC-flag MUST be considered node
111    specific.
The use case needs to be collaborated with more details.
Question:
"A prefix that is advertised by a single node and without an AC-flag MUST
be considered node specific."
I don't understand this sentence. Router A supporting what's defined in
this document may receive advertisement from Router B which doesn't support
AC-flag. Router B will advertise an anycast prefix without AC-flag. What
difference will this "MUST" do?
nit: AC-flag is used for the first time in the document without any
explanation.

113 3.  Updates to Anycast Property advertisement for OSPFv2
Please consider: OSPFv2 Anycast Property Advertisement

120    prefix, and it has been defines the below flags(see "OSPFv2 Extended
s/it has been defines/it has defined

142    When the prefix is configured as anycast, the AC-Flag SHOULD be set.
s/the prefix/a prefix

155    A prefix that is advertised by a single node and without an AC-flag
156    MUST be considered node specific prefix.
same question as above.

I'm attaching a YANG module and its tree. The module adds the ac-flag
definition and configuration of a prefix as anycast. Please let me know if
you have any questions.

Thanks,
Yingzhen
