Hi,

I support publication of the subject document. I do have comments.

  1. Why do you call the reverse-metricn field, “Metric Offset”? This
sounds like a remnant of some bad 20th century CLI….

<NS>
the draft used to have the field as just ‘Metric’, since version 06, we responded
to the comments:

Section 2

From the description what is being advertised in the new TLV is not a metric but a metric offset i.e. you want the receiving IS to add the advertised value to its existing configured metric. Identifying the metric field as "metric offset" would make this point more clearly.

which is a good point I think. do you think there is an alternative name we
can use in replacing the ‘offset’ here?
</NS>

How about just calling it the “Reverse Metric”?

Thanks,
Acee

  2. Please split the single sentence description immediately following
figure 1 into multiple sentences. Maybe just refer to “Elements of
Procedure” sections rather than one incomprehensible sentence.
  3. Pervasive editorial comment, the plural of acronyms is does NOT have
an apostrophe. For example, it is TLVs, not TLV’s.

<NS>
will change those.

thanks.
