Zzh> I replied to and made changes for those. I appreciate Greg Mirsky's shepherd writeup, including the rationale for six authors. (One per page! :-) # COMMENTS ## SECTION 2 You use RFCs 8665 AND 8401 as your citations for two registries. But these RFCs aren't the registries, they just established them. As far as I'm aware, the better practice is to cite the registry directly. For an example, look at how RFC 7606 cites the BGP Path Attributes registry: [IANA-BGP-ATTRS] IANA, "BGP Path Attributes", <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-parameters__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!UYNUbdushdLDIl7ukQ6Z-FfAH5N3vn8wPnw9jXh70NlPJaGVv0D_jFQS1MHeY1JC$ >. Zzh> I have removed the citation for the registries. ## SECTION 2 You have When a BAR value is defined, the corresponding BA and BC semantics SHOULD be specified. For an IGP Algorithm to be used as a BIER IPA, its RA and RC semantics SHOULD be specified. What happens if they aren't? Is that what you're getting at with the next paragraph? Zzh> Yes. None of the components of the BAR or IPA can be unknown. If any of the components is not specified, it is interpreted as "NULL" algorithm or constraint. For example, the IGP Algorithm 0 defined in [RFC8665] is treated as having a NULL RC, i.e., no constraints. I found that paragraph to not be crystal clear. First, it's not explicit what you mean by "components". I infer you mean RA+RC and BA+BC, respectively. Please say so. Assuming that, you say "none of the components... can be unknown" as if it were a statement of fact. But, the SHOULD in the previous paragraph contradicts that: they can be unknown if the specifier contravenes the SHOULD. Maybe (?) what you mean is something like: When a BAR value is defined, the corresponding BA and BC semantics SHOULD be specified. For an IGP Algorithm to be used as a BIER IPA, its RA and RC semantics SHOULD be specified. If the semantics of any of these is not specified, the default value of "NULL" MUST be used. For example, the IGP Algorithm 0 defined in [RFC8665] is treated as having a NULL RC, i.e., no constraints (see Section 3). Zzh> Thanks. I've updated the document as you suggested. ## SECTION 3 The rules given in §3, 1. Apply the BIER constraints, resulting in BC(X). 2. Apply the routing constraints, resulting in RC(BC(X)). 3. Select the algorithm AG as following: a. If BA is NULL, AG is set to RA. b. If BA is not NULL, AG is set to BA. 4. Run AG on RC(BC(X)). are silent about what to do if BC or RC are NULL. Maybe something like 1. Apply the BIER constraints, resulting in BC(X). If BC is NULL, then BC(X) is X itself. 2. Apply the routing constraints, resulting in RC(BC(X)). If RC is NULL, then RC(BC(X)) is BC(X). would work? Zzh> Yes. Updated as you suggested. ## SECTION 3 Section 3 mentions that, If a BFR discovers another BFR advertising different BAR or IPA value for a sub-domain, it MUST treat the advertising router as incapable of supporting BIER for that sub-domain I presume the implications have been thought through, of the fact that this shunning behavior can be expected to apply in both directions, in effect partitioning the domain into subdomains each one of which advertises a homogenous (BAR, IPA) value? This kind of rule has been in BIER for a while (since before this spec) so I assume the answer is yes, but I thought I'd still ask. Zzh> Yes exactly. Zzh> Thanks! Zzh> Jeffrey
