Hi Shankari,

       Thanks a lot for reviewing the draft and your comments. Please see my response in line.

> Please find below some queries on the relay-id draft:
> (1) When the relay-id is not configured by the user then can you please let me know what would be the behavior in the event of relay-agent crash?

If the relay agent is not configured by the administrator then relay agent will not be able to use bulk-lease query in the case of crash. It may still use lease query by remote-id to retrieve address bindings.

> (2) Can you let me know how the relay-id is maintained unique across the relay agents connected to a particular server.

A network administrator will have to ensure the uniqueness of the relay-id across the network.

> (3) When the relay-agent recovers from crash and sends a "bulk-lease-query" with the relay-id to restore the previous configuration/mappings, what would be the approx amount of recovery time allowed for full functionality of relay agent to resume.
>

It might depend on the number of active leases that were allocated through this relay agent when it went down.
