Hello Xiao Min,


 


Thanks for your reply and your kind words. All the changes seem good to me (and now, I know what SoP means ;-) )

 ## COMMENTS
 
 ### Abstract
 
 This is a very long sentence... Consider shortening it.
 
 The `echo request/reply mechanisms used in IPv6 ...` would benefit of being

qualified (perhaps with 'generic' or 'specified' ?).

[XM]>>> OK. Propose to shorten the abstract as below.

OLD

   This document describes an extension to the echo request/reply    mechanisms used in IPv6 (including Segment Routing with IPv6 data    plane (SRv6)), MPLS (including Segment Routing with MPLS data plane    (SR-MPLS)), Service Function Chain (SFC) and Bit Index Explicit    Replication (BIER) environments, which can be used within the In situ    Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) domain, allowing    the IOAM encapsulating node to discover the enabled IOAM capabilities    of each IOAM transit and IOAM decapsulating node. NEW

   This document describes an extension to the echo request/reply    mechanisms used in IPv6, MPLS, Service Function Chain (SFC) and Bit Index Explicit    Replication (BIER) environments, which can be used within the In situ    Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (IOAM) domain, allowing    the IOAM encapsulating node to discover the enabled IOAM capabilities    of each IOAM transit and IOAM decapsulating node.  

### Section 1



 The IPv6 node information query, while sent over ICMPv6, is not really an
 'echo/request' exchange, hence the title of this RFC is not really adequate. I

have no suggestion though.

[XM]>>> Yes, you're absolutely right. A bit of tricky thing here is that ICMPv6 echo request/reply has a different meaning with MPLS/SFC/BIER echo request/reply. I propose to add a sentence as the new penultimate paragraph of the introduction section.

NEW

Also note that in this document the echo request/reply mechanism used in IPv6 does not mean ICMPv6 Echo Request/Reply [RFC4443], but means IPv6 Node Information Query/Reply [RFC4620].



 ### Section 2.2
 
 When defining "TTL" please also add that this is the hop-limit field in the

IPv6 header (which has no TTL field).

[XM]>>> OK. Propose to change the TTL definition in the abbreviations section as below.

OLD

TTL: Time to Live NEW

TTL: Time to Live, this is also the Hop Limit field in the IPv6 header.  


### Section 3.2.1 and other sections including 3.2.6 "Must be zero" 
 
 Please do not forget to specify the receiver's behavior when receiving reserved

bits that are no all 0.

[XM]>>> OK. This comment is similar to that one Chris Lonvick has made in the Secdir review. I've added the penultimate paragraph of the security section to address that comment.

 


### Section 3.2.3

Explaining what "SoP" is would ease the reading.

[XM]>>> OK. Will do s/SoP/SoP (Size of POT).
