>>>>>>>>>> clarifying text.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> That whole first sentence of the paragraph is ugly and i think the
>>>>>>>>>> text will become better by skipping it instead of attempting to explain it.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Please replace paragraph with:
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> SI and sub-domain have different purposes in the BIER architecture
>>>>>>>>>> also also the BIER-TE archtecture.  This impacts how operators are managing them and
>>>>>>>>>> how especially flow overlays will likely use them.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (54) [rfced] Section 5.3.2:  We found this paragraph difficult to
>>>>>>>>>> follow.  We updated it as noted below.  Please review carefully.  If
>>>>>>>>>> anything is incorrect, please provide clarifying text.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Looks nice. Thanks.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (55) [rfced] Section 5.3.4:  It appears to us that "it needs" refers
>>>>>>>>>> to the flow overlay applications, in which case it should be "they
>>>>>>>>>> need".  May we update as suggested?  If not, please clarify what "it"
>>>>>>>>>> refers to.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Yes, correct. Thanks.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (56) [rfced] Section 5.3.5:  Does "their" in this sentence refer to
>>>>>>>>>> subdomains, BIER and BIER-TE, or something else?  If the suggested
>>>>>>>>>> text is not correct, please clarify.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> their was meant to refer only to BIER.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Please replace text with:
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> A.  BIER and BIER-TE have different BFR-ids in the same subdomain.
>>>>>>>>>> This allows higher replication efficiency for BIER because the
>>>>>>>>>> BIER BFR-ids can be assigned sequentially, while the
>>>>>>>>>> BitStrings for BIER-TE will also have to assign the additional bits for
>>>>>>>>>> the topology adjacencies. -->
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (57) [rfced] Section 5.3.6.1:  These sentences did not parse well.
>>>>>>>>>> We updated as follows.  If these updates do not convey your intended
>>>>>>>>>> meaning, please provide clarifying text.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Replacement is fine. Thanks.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (58) [rfced] Section 5.3.6.1:  We found the two "even"s in this
>>>>>>>>>> sentence confusing.  We updated as follows.  If this is incorrect,
>>>>>>>>>> please provide clarifying text.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Replacement is fine. Thanks.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (59) [rfced] Section 5.3.6.2: a) To what does the colon in "area edge BFR:" refer - the next
>>>>>>>>>> paragraph, or the next two paragraphs?  We would like to indent the
>>>>>>>>>> text of the next paragraph or the next two paragraphs, as
>>>>>>>>>> appropriate.  Alternatively, could the colon be changed to a period?
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> The ":" refers to the next paragraph. Maybe replace ":" with "as follows." ?
>>>>>>>>>> Don't think indentation would look good here.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (60) [rfced] Section 5.3.6.2:
>>>>>>>>>> b) We had trouble following the text in the second paragraph.  If the
>>>>>>>>>> suggested text is not correct, please clarify "the bits indicate bits
>>>>>>>>>> for topology and BFER" and "For BFER in the same area as in the BFIR".
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Please modify your replacement as follows:
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Replace:
>>>>>>>>>> In each packet, these bits in turn indicate bits for the topology and
>>>>>>>>>> the BFERs in that topology, plus
>>>>>>>>>> With
>>>>>>>>>> In each packet, the BitString includes bits for one area and
>>>>>>>>>> the BFERs in that area, plus
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (61) [rfced] Section 6:  We had trouble following the meaning of
>>>>>>>>>> "results of the routing protocol".  Is "results of" necessary?
>>>>>>>>>> If the suggested text is not correct, please clarify.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Suggest to replace:
>>>>>>>>>> the results of the routing protocol
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> With:
>>>>>>>>>> the information that BIER-TE learns from the routing protocol (routes, next-hops, BFR-ids, ...)
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (62) [rfced] Section 6:  This sentence did not parse.  We updated it
>>>>>>>>>> as follows.  If this is incorrect, please clarify "same degree of
>>>>>>>>>> looping packets as possible".
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Perfect.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (63) [rfced] Appendix A:  We made quite a few updates to this section
>>>>>>>>>> in an effort to clarify the text.  Please review all updates
>>>>>>>>>> carefully.  If anything is incorrect, please provide clarifying text.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Please replace:
>>>>>>>>>> relies on source routing via the definition of a BitString,
>>>>>>>>>> With
>>>>>>>>>> relies on source routing (via a BitString),
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Because: the way you emphasize the comaprison with bullet points would make
>>>>>>>>>> it more worrysome to read that SR also has BitStrings (which it doesnt). Only
>>>>>>>>>> the source-routing is shared.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> rest of changes are fine. Thanks.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (64) [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the
>>>>>>>>>> online Style Guide at <https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language>,
>>>>>>>>>> and let us know if any changes are needed.  Aside from "native", our script did not identify problematic terms.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> I could not find on those URLs a place where "native" was listed as problematic,
>>>>>>>>>> where/what is the script you are using ?
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> I had a set of discussions about the use of the word native at IETF114,
>>>>>>>>>> including with Andrew Alston who told me how its use in parts of africa might
>>>>>>>>>> be life threatening, so i am aware of possible concerns. However:
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> The term has been widely used in RFCs and especially in multicast contexts,
>>>>>>>>>> and i really would want to have some reference URL from rfc-editor where you track ideally single
>>>>>>>>>> recommended replacement words (like you track abbreviations). It is
>>>>>>>>>> a widely used technical term and i had to search several times through RFCs
>>>>>>>>>> with this term to find stuff. So i want to make sure that when we replace it,
>>>>>>>>>> we do not end up with a hodge-podge of differrent new terms that would
>>>>>>>>>> make searching and recognition of the term more difficult.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> Aka: If this does not exist, and if you permit me to keep the word, i would
>>>>>>>>>> choose that option right now. But i encourage you to work towards a replacement
>>>>>>>>>> tracking service for future RFCs, and i am happy to chime in support of that
>>>>>>>>>> if that would help.
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> (65) [rfced] Please let us know if any changes are needed for the

>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> a) Very thorough work on consistent terms. All good. Thanks a lot!

>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>> accelerated hardware forwarding (text) /
>>>>>>>>>> Accelerated/Hardware forwarding comparison (section title)
>>>>>>>>>> (In other words, does the slash ("/") serve a specific purpose?)
>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>> The / was meant as an abbrebiation of accelerated and/or hardware forwarding.
>>>>>>>>>> The problem is that there is no good solid term to use. I think its
