Hi,

I have been selected as the Operational Directorate (opsdir) reviewer for this Internet-Draft. 

The Operational Directorate reviews all operational and management-related Internet-Drafts to ensure alignment with operational best practices and that adequate operational considerations are covered.

A complete set of _"Guidelines for Considering Operations and Management in IETF Specifications"_ can be found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-rfc5706bis/.

While these comments are primarily for the Operations and Management Area Directors (Ops ADs), the authors should consider them alongside other feedback received.

## General Operational Comments Alignment with RFC 5706bis 

I do not see any major architectural problem with the document. 


## Major Issues 

 No major issues found.

## Minor Issues 

  It would be helpful to provide a bit more guidance on observability and troubleshooting when redirect-to-IP is ignored due to validation failure, unreachable target address, or interaction with other FlowSpec actions

## Nits 

- Section 3 last sentence: “section Section 2.1” should be fixed. 

- Section 4: the word "documentations" should be changed to "documents"? 
This section documentations the [RFC7942] implementation status...” should be fixed

- Section 4.4: Typo: “IWidely Used”  .
