Thank you all for the comments/review.  I agree that the change 0x0000 isn't 
really needed or helpful. That said it is the same as a simple 0, so I can live 
with it being either way.

Thanks,
Lou

Hi, Donald.  Apologies for the delayed reply.

We have updated Section 3 per your note below.  We'll update RFC-to-be 9894 
shortly and will ask the authors of RFC-to-be 9892 if they would like to update 
the "VLAN Identifier (VID):" definition per your note.

Hi again, Donald.  Thanks for another quick reply!  We have updated this 
document as well, per your notes below.

Regarding your second update note from further below:

Section 3, 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence, seems a bit incomplete and
fuzzy. I believe the following is clearer.

OLD
  VID value zero (0) is used by
[RFC9892] to indicate that the VID is ignored and any other VID
value is
used in traffic classification.
NEW
  VID value zero (0x0000) is used by
[RFC9892] to indicate that the VID is ignored and VID 0xFFFF is
reserved. Any other VID value from 0x0001 through 0xFFFE can be
used in traffic classification.

We are having trouble parsing the "NEW" text.  Does it mean

VID value zero (0x0000) is used by
[RFC9892] to indicate that (1) the VID is ignored and (2) VID 0xFFFF is
reserved.  Any other VID value from 0x0001 through 0xFFFE can be
used in traffic classification.

or

VID value zero (0x0000) is used by
[RFC9892] to indicate that the VID is ignored.  VID 0xFFFF is
reserved.  Any other VID value from 0x0001 through 0xFFFE can be
used in traffic classification.

?

Seems like the latter, but please advise.

Yes, you are correct. It is the latter.

= = = = =

A couple more follow-up questions:

1. Should "composed of" be changed to "built on" in RFC-to-be 9894
as well, as was done per your first note further below for this
document?

From the latest rfc9894.txt:
The extension defined in this document is composed of the mechanisms

Yes, I think the change should be made in RFC-to-be 9894 as well.

2. In companion document RFC-to-be 9892, should we ask the authors
if the "zero (0)" in the following paragraph should be updated to
list the hex value 0x0000, as was done per your second update note
(further below) for this document?  We ask because we see two
instances of "The value 0xFFFF is reserved" in RFC-to-be 9892:


VLAN Identifier (VID):
A 12-bit unsigned integer field indicating the VLAN to be used in
traffic classification.  A value of zero (0) indicates that the
VID is to be ignored and any VID is to be accepted during traffic
classification.  Any explicitly mapped VLANs are matched first.
Any VLANs that do not have a mapping will then map to this default
mapping.

Well, I don't think the two occurrences of 0xFFFF in this document
have anything to do with this because they refer to the FID, not the
VID. However, I think the full change to this text that I suggested
for this (except the self-referential reference to 9892) would be good
so

OLD
A value of zero (0) indicates that the
VID is to be ignored and any VID is to be accepted during traffic
classification.
NEW
VID value zero (0x0000) is used by
to indicate that the VID is ignored and VID 0xFFFF is
reserved. Any other VID value from 0x0001 through 0xFFFE can be
used in traffic classification.

Perhaps you should suggest the above to the authors.

Actually, use of "(0)" is not wrong, it's just that it seems much more
consistent for all the VIDs (VLAN IDs) to be given in the same hex
format.

Thanks,
Donald

Authors,

While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as
necessary) the following questions, which are also in the source
file.

1) <!-- [rfced] Document title: FYI, for ease of the reader and per our
process, we expanded "DLEP" in the title. Please review.

Original:
DLEP IEEE 802.1Q Aware Credit Window Extension

Currently:
Dynamic Link Exchange Protocol (DLEP) IEEE 802.1Q Aware Credit Window
Extension -->

OK.

2) <!-- [rfced] Please insert any keywords (beyond those that appear
in the title) for use on <https://www.rfc-editor.org/search>. -->

I don't know of any added keywords.

3) <!-- [rfced] Section 1: Are one or more words missing from this
sentence?  If neither suggestion below is correct, please clarify
what is shared.

Original:
Credit windows
may be allocated on either a shared or a per-flow basis.

Suggestion #1 (flows are shared):
Credit windows
may be allocated on either a shared-flow or per-flow basis.

Suggestion #2 (windows are shared):
Credit windows
may be allocated on either a shared-window or per-flow basis. -->

Well, #2 is correct. But maybe it would be clearer to say

Credit windows may be shared across multiple flows or used on a per
flow basis.

4) <!-- [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of
the online Style Guide at
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language>,
and let us know if any changes are needed.  Updates of this nature
typically result in more precise language, which is helpful for
readers.

Note that our script did not flag any words in particular, but this
should still be reviewed as a best practice. -->

I do not think any changes are needed for this reason.

5) <!-- [rfced] The following term appears to be used inconsistently
in this document.  Please let us know which form is preferred.

IEEE 802.1Q Aware Credit Window Type Value /
IEEE 802.1Q Aware Credit Window Extension Type Value -->

I think the more complete version with the word "Extension" is good.

See further suggested changes below.

Thank you.

RFC Author(s):
--------------

Instructions for Completing AUTH48

Your document has now entered AUTH48.  Once it has been reviewed and
approved by you and all coauthors, it will be published as an RFC.
If an author is no longer available, there are several remedies
available as listed in the FAQ (https://www.rfc-editor.org/faq/).

You and you coauthors are responsible for engaging other parties
(e.g., Contributors or Working Group) as necessary before providing
your approval.

Planning your review
---------------------

Please review the following aspects of your document:

*  RFC Editor questions

Please review and resolve any questions raised by the RFC Editor
that have been included in the XML file as comments marked as
follows:

<!-- [rfced] ... -->

These questions will also be sent in a subsequent email.

*  Changes submitted by coauthors

Please ensure that you review any changes submitted by your
coauthors.  We assume that if you do not speak up that you
agree to changes submitted by your coauthors.

*  Content

Please review the full content of the document, as this cannot
change once the RFC is published.  Please pay particular attention to:
- IANA considerations updates (if applicable)
- contact information
- references

*  Copyright notices and legends

Please review the copyright notice and legends as defined in
RFC 5378 and the Trust Legal Provisions
(TLP – https://trustee.ietf.org/license-info).

*  Semantic markup

Please review the markup in the XML file to ensure that elements of
content are correctly tagged.  For example, ensure that <sourcecode>
and <artwork> are set correctly.  See details at
<https://authors.ietf.org/rfcxml-vocabulary>.

*  Formatted output

Please review the PDF, HTML, and TXT files to ensure that the
formatted output, as generated from the markup in the XML file, is
reasonable.  Please note that the TXT will have formatting
limitations compared to the PDF and HTML.

Submitting changes
------------------

To submit changes, please reply to this email using ‘REPLY ALL’ as all
the parties CCed on this message need to see your changes. The parties
include:

*  your coauthors

*  [email protected] (the RPC team)

*  other document participants, depending on the stream (e.g.,
IETF Stream participants are your working group chairs, the
responsible ADs, and the document shepherd).

*  [email protected], which is a new archival mailing list
to preserve AUTH48 conversations; it is not an active discussion
list:

*  More info:
   
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/yb6lpIGh-4Q9l2USxIAe6P8O4Zc

*  The archive itself:
   https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/auth48archive/

*  Note: If only absolutely necessary, you may temporarily opt out
   of the archiving of messages (e.g., to discuss a sensitive matter).
   If needed, please add a note at the top of the message that you
   have dropped the address. When the discussion is concluded,
   [email protected] will be re-added to the CC list and
   its addition will be noted at the top of the message.

You may submit your changes in one of two ways:

An update to the provided XML file
— OR —
An explicit list of changes in this format

Section # (or indicate Global)

Section 2, first stentence. Saying "composed of" makes it sound like
its all in RFCs 9892 and 9893 with nothing added by this document.
Suggest the following:

OLD
The extension defined in this document is composed of the mechanisms
and processing defined in [RFC9892] and [RFC9893].
NEW
The extension defined in this document is built on the mechanisms
and processing defined in [RFC9892] and [RFC9893].

Section 3, 3rd paragraph, 2nd sentence, seems a bit incomplete and
fuzzy. I believe the following is clearer.

OLD
  VID value zero (0) is used by
[RFC9892] to indicate that the VID is ignored and any other VID
value is
used in traffic classification.
NEW
  VID value zero (0x0000) is used by
[RFC9892] to indicate that the VID is ignored and VID 0xFFFF is
reserved. Any other VID value from 0x0001 through 0xFFFE can be
used in traffic classification.

Donald

You do not need to reply with both an updated XML file and an explicit
list of changes, as either form is sufficient.

We will ask a stream manager to review and approve any changes that seem
beyond editorial in nature, e.g., addition of new text, deletion of text,
and technical changes.  Information about stream managers can be found in
the FAQ.  Editorial changes do not require approval from a stream manager.

Approving for publication
