Summary: The draft is basically ready for publication as an informational RFC. All of the actionable issues from my last call review of version 04 have been addressed. There are a few remaining editorial issues, below:

Nits/editorial comments:

-- General: This version is much improved from 04. However it still tends to overuse parentheses in ways that are unnecessary and tend to break the flow of reading. These can probably be handled by the RFC editor.

The following are editorial comments from my original review that I think need further work:

[...]

> The sentence hard to parse. Is the first comma intended?

The sentence needs work. Suggestion:

"The ISP requires visibility into the end-to-end performance of home and enterprise networks,..."

[...]

> -- 3.1, 1st para, sentence starting with "The panel..."
> 
> I'm confused by the nested lists, nested parentheses, and unexplained ellipses. Also, it seems to contain a comma splice. Are there missing words?

The comma splice is fixed. The nested lists and ellipses are still confusing. You might consider splitting lists out into separate "For example" sentences.

For example:
"For example, the operator's access technology might include fiber, HFC, or DSL. It might offer broadband speeds of ...."

I also suggest dropping "(say)" and and the sentence-starting "So..." from later in the paragraph.

Not addressed.

The bullet list improves things. Bullet 2 still contains a list of examples  in the form of comma-spliced sentences.

Fix attempted, but new typo "imade" introduced".

Not addressed.
