Hi, authors, WG,

I have reviewed draft-ietf-opsawg-oam-tests, and I have a few 
comments/suggestions for your consideration.

As the co-author of I-D.ietf-netmod-schedule-yang, happy to see the reuse of 
the schedule groupings in this draft. While in the current structure, each yang 
module includes both the period-of-time and recurrence related groupings, I am 
uncertain if this is intentional, as these two groupings represent two 
different types of schedules: period-of-time defines a single time schedule 
(i.e., one-time execution), and recurrence defines a repeating pattern (e.g., 
daily, hourly) for recurring executions. If both schedule types are intended to 
be supported, would it be clearer to structure them using a choice-case 
statement?

Some additional comments/thoughts:

*         The draft defines state machines for unitary-test-status and 
test-sequence-status(Figures 2 and 4), but it does not explicitly clarify the 
triggers for state transitions. For example, how to transit from planned to 
configured? It is also unclear to me what is the relationships between stop and 
finished.

*         While the draft mentions that output results of OAM tests depend on 
the underlying OAM models, it may be helpful to emphasize the need for 
collecting and correlating results from multiple test nodes to form a unified 
diagnostic report, to implement the use cases discussed in Section 2.

*         Operational Considerations section does not mention the performance 
impact of scheduling a collection of OAM tests, but maybe this needs to be 
considered as well.

Thanks for your time and efforts on this work.

Best Regards,
Qiufang
