> >>>>>>>>>>>>> 16) <!-- [rfced] Below are some specific questions

> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Section 5.2 of the document.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> a) FYI - To improve clarity, we added a new table
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> (current Table 2) to show
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> the registration policies and adjusted the original table
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> (current Table 3) to
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> show only the initial contents of the registry.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> [Don] Good.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> b) In the current Table 3, which shows the initial values
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> of the new registry,
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> [RFC2474] and [IEEE8021Q] are listed as references.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Should this document be
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> listed as a reference instead of or in addition to
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> [RFC2474] and [IEEE8021Q]?
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> It seems that this document defines the Diffserv Traffic
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Classification in
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Section 2.2 and the Ethernet Traffic Classification in
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Section 2.3. Please
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> review and let us know if any updates are needed. If
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> needed, we will ask IANA
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> to update the "Traffic Classification Sub-Data Item Type
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Values" registry
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> prior to publication.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> [Don] The table referencing [RFC2474] and [IEEE8021Q] is
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> correct for Type code 1 and Type code 2 respectively.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> No need to add this document as reference - it is there
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> for the whole table.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>>
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Link to registry:
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> https://www.iana.org/assignments/dlep-parameters/dlep-
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> parameters.xhtml#traffic-classification-sub-data-item-
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> type-values>
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> c) Related to the question above, the first two sentences
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> below do not
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> directly indicate that this document defines the two new
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Sub-Data Items in
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Sections 2.2 and 2.3, but the third sentence does. Should
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> any of these
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> sentences be updated?
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Original:
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> This document also introduces DLEP Sub-Data Items, and
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Sub-Data Items are
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> defined to support DiffServ and Ethernet traffic
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> classification.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> ...
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> This document defines support for traffic classification
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> using a
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> single new Data Item in Section 2.1 for general support
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> and two new
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Sub-Data Items are defined to support identification of
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> flows based
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> on DSCPs and PCPs.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> [Don] This is good.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> ...
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> This document defines traffic classification based on a
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> DLEP
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> destination and flows identified by either DiffServ
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> [RFC2475]
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Differentiated Services Codepoints (DSCPs) or IEEE 802.1Q
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> [IEEE8021Q]
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Ethernet Priority Code Points (PCPs).
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Perhaps (updates to first two sentences to indicate that
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> this document defines
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> the two Sub-Data Items; not changes to third sentence):
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> This document also introduces DLEP Sub-Data Items and
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> defines two new
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Sub-Data Items to support Diffserv and Ethernet traffic
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> classification.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> ...
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> This document defines support for traffic classification

> >>>>>>>>>>>>> d) May we combine the first paragraph after the current
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Table 3 and the last
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> paragraph of Section 5.2 as follows? Also, would it be
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> helpful to separate the
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> text after the current Table 3 into a new section so

> >>>>>>>>>>>>> "Specification Required"
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> in this text as the guidance only applies to
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> registrations with that policy.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Original:
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> This section provides guidance to the Internet Assigned
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Numbers
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Authority (IANA) regarding registration of values related
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> to the
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Traffic Classification Sub-Data Item Type Values registry
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> for the
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> DLEP protocol, in accordance with BCP 26 and [RFC8126].
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> ...
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> To simplify future registrations, it is recommended that
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> this
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> guidance serves as a standard reference for all DLEP-
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> related
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> registries. Future specifications may include a header
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> note pointing
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> to this guidance document.
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Perhaps:
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> 5.3. Registration Guidance
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> This section provides guidance for registrations in the
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> "Traffic

> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Traffic Classification)?
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> Original (the previous sentence included for context):
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> This registry encompasses packet traffic classification,
> >>>>>>>>>>>>> where
