Hi Authors,




I just reviewed your draft draft-zhangb-cats-service-metrics-op-03“Computing Service Metric Definitions and Operation under CATS”. I have a few suggestions regarding the content in this document:




First, the Computing Service Table and Network Service Table are central to the proposed operation, but their contents and relationship could be described more clearly.




Second, it would be helpful to provide a few more operational examples to illustrate the expected behavior in different scenarios.




Another point concerns failure handling. The draft could explain what happens when no candidate satisfies a request, or when a selected service instance becomes unavailable.




Finally, the draft states that there are no IANA actions at this time. However, the document defines several new metrics with distinct semantics. Please clarify whether identifiers for these metrics need to be registered in this document or in a companion document.




Overall, I think the draft provides a clear and operationally meaningful approach for using computing service information in CATS. The current structure and examples make the proposal easy to follow, and I believe it is a good basis for further WG discussion.




Best regards,
Bowen Shen
