Document: draft-ietf-trill-irb-13.txt Reviewer: Francis Dupont Review Date: 20160618 IETF LC End Date: 20160624 IESG Telechat date: 20150630 Summary: Ready Major issues: None Minor issues: None Nits/editorial comments: - you have 6 (with a soft limit of 5) authors - 1 page 3: please expand the first occurrence of the FGL abbrev (in theory you should expand the TRILL abbrev and in the Abstract too but IMHO it is unlikely to get a reader of this document who does not know the TRILL abbrev meaning and raises a concern. BTW VLAN is well known (*) so doesn't need to be expanded) (* starred in http://www.rfc-editor.org/materials/abbrev.expansion.txt ) - 1 page 3: i.e. -> i.e., - 3.1 page 5: IMHO the title should be on the next page (page 6). This will be fixed by the RFC Editor anyway. - 3.1 pages 6 and further: congratulations, you use IP addresses from blocks reserved for documentation. - 5.2 page 12: dependant -> dependent - 5.4 pages 14 and 15: I have an academic question: did you find some cases of external redirects? This term is not common (nor use cases :-) so I copy a definition I gave during a discussion about SEND (the secure IPv6 neighbor discovery): - give the link-layer address of an off-link destination which is in fact on-link. This "external redirect" is used for IPv6 over ATM to implement NHRP short cuts for instance. - 6 page 15: another example of strange page layout that should be fixed by the RFC Editor. - 7.1 page 19: TENANT-LABEL -> TENANT-GWMAC-LABEL (cf 9 IANA Considerations page 22 ) Regards Francis.Dupont at fdupont.fr
