Document: draft-ietf-pwe3-mpls-eth-oam-iwk-06 Reviewer: David L. Black Review Date: August 20, 2012 IETF LC End Date: August 20, 2012 Summary: This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should be fixed before publication.   This draft covers defect behavior for Ethernet pseudowires , including defect state mapping and PE defect reporting behavior. The draft is generally in good shape.  I found a few minor nits.   1) The draft uses a lot of acronyms - while each acronym appears to b e expanded on first use, an additional section near the start of the draft listing all of them would be helpful.   2) There's a typo in the first paragraph of section 2:        covers the following Ethernet OAM (Opertaions , Administration and   Opertaions  -> Operations.   3) The following normative reference is incomplete - please add additional information that will enable a reader to locate the referenced document:        [MEF16] "Ethernet Local Management Interface", MEF16, January 2006.   4) idnits 2.12.13 did not like the pagination:     == The page length should not exceed 58 lines per page, but there was 22      longer pages, the longest (page 1) being 61 lines   Thanks, --David ---------------------------------------------------- David L.
