COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Abstract: First paragraph use of 'The document' instead of 'This document'
seems awkward, I suggest using the latter. Further the second paragraph seems
completely out of place, and I would suggest removing it as it does not appear
to provide any value.

[Linda] Thanks, Updated per your suggestion.

- Section 3.1.1 (1st paragraph) - Add references for both IPsec and MPLS VPN on
first usage. Same comment for VRFs.
[Linda] Added.

- Section 3.1.1 (2nd paragraph) - Please expand on what the text "Additionally,
it assumes that one SD-WAN VPN can be mapped to one or multiple virtual
topologies governed by the SD-WAN controller's policies" means. From the
written text I am unable to understand it.
[Linda] Changed to the following:
      "It is important to highlight that a single SD-WAN VPN can be mapped to 
one or multiple virtual topologies governed by the SD-WAN controller's 
policies".

- Section 3.1.1 (3rd paragraph) - please explain what a 'Client Route' is. I
assume that you mean a route generated by an attached SD-WAN site, but the text
does not say that. In addition, please correct the text 'Route Target in the
BGP Extended Community' - Route Target Community is defined in RFC4360 so
please add with reference.
[Linda] Add the definition in the Terminology section. Add the RFC 4360 
reference.
      Client Route: In this document, client route means the route attached to 
a client port of an SD-WAN edge.

- Section 3.1.1 (4th paragraph) - "For packets carried by an IPsec tunnel, the
IPsec tunnel's inner encapsulation header can have the SD-WAN VPN Identifier to
distinguish the packets belonging to different SD-WAN VPNs". Can they? is there
an RFC or draft defining that?
[Linda] Change the sentence to the following:
      "To convey the SD-WAN VPN identifier within packets transported through 
an IPsec tunnel, an extra layer of encapsulation, like GRE [RFC2784] or VxLAN 
[RFC7348], is needed before inserting the packet into the IPsec ESP header."


- Section 3.4 - add references for 'MPLS-in-IP/GRE-in-IPsec'.
[Linda] Added.

- Section 4.3 - "In the context of a BGP-controlled SD-WAN, BGP UPDATE messages
can disseminate IPsec-related attribute values for each node..." - do you mean
using RFC5566 here? if so, please add a reference - if not then please add a
reference on how BGP should disseminate the IPsec-related attribute values.

[Linda] Yes, added.

- Section 5.1 - add reference for NHRP (RFC2332)
[Linda] Added.
