Re: [Idr] I-D Action: draft-ietf-idr-last-as-reservation-00.txt

[David Farmer <[e-mail]>]

This looks good to me and I support it continuing to move forward.

But, I have a few relatively minor editorial Nits;

- There is a Singular/Plural mismatch in the second paragraph of section 
3, "last ASN of the 16 bit range, 65535, are reserved", should be "last 
ASN of the 16 bit range, 65535, is reserved".

- There is another Singular/Plural mismatch in the first paragraph of 
section 4, "a Special Uses", should be ether be either "Special Uses", 
or "a Special Use".  I think either way works fine, it just needs to 
match. (Sorry about that one, my bad, this was in the text I gave you)

- I think the order of the sentences in the second paragraph of section 
4 should be reversed.  I think it would be better to start with "These 
last ASNs MUST NOT be advertised ...", then "Operators that choose to 
filter Private Use ASNs ... SHOULD also filter ...".  The "MUST NOT 
advertise" is the primary requirement, and the "SHOULD filter" is really 
just a recommended way of achieving it.

- I'm not sure, but maybe, the first use of "Private Use ASNs" in 
section 4 should include a reference to 
[I-D.ietf-idr-as-private-reservation] and eventually the RFC when 
published.  Maybe the use in section 5 as well, but I'm less concerned 
about that one.

Thanks
