Re: [Idr] [Bier] I-D Action: draft-ietf-bier-bgp-ls-bier-ext-00.txt

Hi Ran, Authors,
thank you for the very good and timely work. Please kindly consider my
notes to the draft:

   - section 3.1
      - for consistency of format definition add Type with reference to the
      appropriate sub-section in IANA Considerations;
      - add definition of the value in Length field, e.g. "equals number of
      octets of the Value field";
      - you may describe the Reserved field and note that is MUST be set to
      0 on transmit and ignored on receipt;
      - I think that meaning and use of subdomain-id and MT-ID need more
      discussion. E.g., how these id's assigned, managed? What they signify?
      - how the value of BSL field defined? Is it the same as Len field in
      the BIER Header (Section 3 in
draft-ietf-bier-mpls-encapsulation)? You may
      add the reference to encaps draft.
      - I think that Set Identifier (SI) should be included in the BIER
      TLV. According to Section 3 of the BIER Architecture document,
SI value may
      be in the [0, 255] range. Then one octet seems sufficient for SI field.
      - I'd suggest to keep format to four octet alignment and add reserved
      field after the BFR-id field.
   - Section 3.1.1
      - you can add reference to the sub-section in IANA Considerations for
      Type field;
      - add definition of the value of Length field;
      - is 255 range sufficient for Label Range advertisement?Is it because
      SI is limited to 255? Would be helpful to clarify;
      - would BS Length in the sub-TLV be the same as BSL field in the BIER
      TLV?

Regards,
Greg
