Hi, authors: I have read the latest version of draft-ietf-opsawg-oam-characterization and have the following comments for your consideration:
1. Section 2, Paragraph 4 said: " These two examples, as well as other examples of uses of the term "in-band" in previous documents are described throughout Section 3. " [Qin]: Which previous documents? RFC5085 and RFC9551 in this paragraph or documents in the previous paragraph in section 1, My understanding is the former, but not sure this is clear to everybody. 2. Section 2, last paragraph said: " While interpreting existing documents, it is important to understand the semantics of what "band" is a proxy for , and to be more explicit if those documents are updated. " [Qin]: I am wondering whether proxy has different meaning in different context, s/a proxy for/stands for 3.Section 3.4, paragraph 3, last bullet [Qin]: It looks inferred mode and direct mode are two new term related to OAM, I am wondering how inferred mode is related to Direct measurement, Inferred Measurement, How Direct mode is related to Direct measurement, Inferred Measurement. Secondly, how direct measurement is related to in data packet oam? How inferred measurement is related to active OAM and Hybrid OAM. I think this paragraph lacks clarity about this. 4. Section 3.4, last 2nd paragraph: " The first sentence is not consistent with the second sentence. In the first sentence, you are using measurement protocol, in the second sentence, you are using other OAM protocol. " [Qin]: The first sentence is not consistent with the second sentence. In the first sentence, you are using measurement protocol, in the second sentence, you are using other OAM protocol. 5.Appendix A, last paragraph: [Qin]: Suggest to add reference to RFC8655 for the term PREOF treatment. Also suggest to add expanded name for PREOF "Packet Replication, Elimination, and Ordering Functions” -Qin -----邮件原件----- 发件人: Benoît Claise via Datatracker [mailto:[email protected]] 发送时间: 2025年9月16日 15:47 收件人: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] 主题: [OPSAWG]WG Last Call: draft-ietf-opsawg-oam-characterization-12 (Ends 2025-09-30) Subject: WG Last Call: draft-ietf-opsawg-oam-characterization-12 (Ends 2025-09-30) This message starts a 2-week WG Last Call for this document. Abstract: As the IETF continues to produce and standardize different Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) protocols and technologies, various qualifiers and modifiers are prepended to the OAM abbreviation. While, at first glance, the most used appear to be well understood, the same qualifier may be interpreted differently in different contexts. A case in point is the qualifiers "in-band" and "out-of-band" which have their origins in the radio lexicon, and which have been extrapolated into other communication networks. This document recommends not to use these two terms when referring to OAM. This document considers some common qualifiers and modifiers that are prepended, within the context of packet networks, to the OAM abbreviation and lays out guidelines for their use in future IETF work. This document updates [RFC6291] by adding to the guidelines for the use of the term "OAM". It does not modify any other part of [RFC6291].
