Hi Jeffrey,



I have a few comments/questions after reading the draft.

  1.  If the periodic message sending is not required, how would the Refresh 
Rate field be filled . Should a specific value or a flag defined for this 
purpose?

Zzh> We can use 0. I assume that’s only for one-time-ok-to-lose notifications. 
I’ve updated the draft in my local copy.

  1.  About section 2.5 flow redirection, besides 5 tuples, there's possibility 
that other fields would be used to identify a traffic flow, is there any 
consideration on this, e.g.,introducing optional fields such as user defined 
fields in Flow Redirection TLV for better compatibility?

Zzh> In general, we try to avoid sub-TLVs to allow maximum packing and to 
simplify the processing, especially since some of the notifications are to be 
handled at very low level, as mentioned in the draft:

   The following TLVs are defined to allow maximum packing.  If

   additional information needs to be advertised, new TLVs may be

   defined without using sub-TLVs to allow efficient encoding of

   additional information, or with sub-TLVs to allow flexibility but at

   the cost of processing complexity.

Zzh> What are other fields that may be frequently used?

  1.  What's the value of Link ID field in the message header when BGP is used 
in the network.

Zzh> The Link ID in the message header is the ID of the link on which the 
flooding happens. For example, you have five links 1~5 and on link 1 you flood 
info about links 2~5 then the Link ID in the message header is 1.

Zzh> Thanks.

Zzh> Jeffrey



Regards,

Yao
