The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-evpn-sr-p2mp/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This draft is very difficult to approach for anyone who isn't a domain expert. It uses a lot of domain-specific terminology even before you get to the list of RFCs whose terminology the reader is expected to be familiar with. That paragraph points to certain RFCs for "terms like" a list of items, suggesting that there might be other referenced terms in any given document with no pointer here. That makes it difficult for the reader to take an unfamiliar term and look it up. I would encourage the authors to rework the introduction to contain a simple problem statement, an overview of how the existing technologies currently handle it, and what this document defines to improve the situation. Some diagrams might also be helpful in articulating the framework. I would suggest that this also include a thorough terminology section that cites RFCs and/or defines terms as appropriate for the reader attempting to consume this document. In the Introduction, there's no reference cited for "P2MP Ingress Replication". Searching online for that phrase finds this draft as the primary hit. I assume that's intended to point to Section 6.4.5 of RFC 6513? Throughout, the draft is inconsistent about using "a SR" or "an SR" -- which is correct turns on whether "SR" is pronounced "source routing" or "ess arr". Please pick one. For the moment, I'm intentionally balloting "No Record," because I'd like the authors to have this feedback now. It's going to take me some time to read this in more depth and update my ballot position. _______________________________________________ BESS mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
