Sorry for the late reply
See response inline #Ahmed. The response refers to version 15 which I
just published to address your comments as well as other reviewers' comments
Thanks

Review result: Ready with Nits
This document proposes a hierarchical and shared forwarding chain organization
that allows traffic to be restored to pre-calculated alternative equal cost
primary path or backup path in a time period that does not depend on the number
of BGP prefixes.
Comment/Question to the authors:
1- In the document states: "The proposed technique achieves prefix independent
convergence while ensuring incremental deployment, complete automation, and
zero management and provisioning effort." What is the scope involved in zero
management? It would be nice if the text explains how the technique achieves
the zero management and the provisioning efforts.
#Ahmed: I added the following sentence at the end of the second
paragraph in the introduction
In other words, once it is implemented and deployed on a router, nothing
is required from the operator to make it work.
2- "it benefits from all its
benefits" --> it would be nice to mention some of the benefits in brakets.
#Ahmed I added
(most notably convergence that does not depend in the number of prefixes)
3-
Is this technique not affected by any type of bpg prefix hijacking attack?
#Ahmed: AFAIK Prefix hijacking is a scenario whereby a peer advertises
reachability to a prefix that it does not own. What we propose is how to
make convergence independent of the number of prefix by organizing
forwarding plane data structure in a certain way. If a prefix is
advertised by peer "B" instead of peer "A", the FIB organization
algorithm still applies.
4-
If there is no privacy issues I would states that explicitly.
#Ahmed: I am not really sure what do you mean by "privacy" in the
context of FIB?
Thank you for this document,
Ines.
