Summary: Ready with minor issues




 




The document is well written and complete, but requires a good understanding of BFD (RFC 5880, RFC 5881) and of the use-cases (draft-ietf-bfd-seamless-use-case) document. A few minor issues are listed below, it would be good to address
 them, but none is a show-stopper. 




 




Major issues:




 




Minor issues:




 







1.

      


This document extends the usage of port 3785 adding the function of being the destination port for the S-BFD echo packets. Should not this be regarded as an update of RFC 5881 and mentioned as such on the front
 page? 







2.

      


In the IANA considerations section – when this I-D is approved and becomes an RFC, should not the Reference (REQUIRED) become this RFC – a more stable reference that the draft-akiya-bfd-seamless-ip?
