Document: draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-relay-reply-10
     Relayed Echo Reply mechanism for LSP Ping
Reviewer: Joel M. Halpern
Review Date: 17-September-2015
IETF LC End Date: 25-Sept-2015
IESG Telechat date: N/A

Summary: This document is ready for publication as a Proposed Standard

Major issues: none

Minor issues:
     In this document, the address stack grows downward.  While 
reasonable, I think that in the absence of warning of this, readers are 
likely to be confused when they read the detailed procedures.  I think 
the document would be helped by adding the sentence:
     "This stack grows downward, with addresses further along the LSP 
appearing lower down in the stack."
    This could appear right after:
     "-  Stack of Relayed Addresses: a list of relay node addresses."
in section 3.2.
