Anton,

As long as the I-D is clear about what to do, it is fine for me.

   Following discussion between the authors we intend to go with text stating "Unknown OUI value SHOULD NOT be used". Motivation is that Vendor LCAF leaves up to the vendor to define internal formatting of LCAF data; and for the Unknown OUI there is no authority who can define internal formatting of the data.
   Please give us know if that text would be OK with you.

Hello Alberto



Thank you for the prompt reply. All your suggestions look fine for me. Just unsure about what do your co-authors think about the unknown OUI (which seems good to me though).

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the work put into this document. The document is short and easy
to read.

Please find below some non-blocking COMMENT points (but replies would be
appreciated even if only for my own education), including one that should have
been a blocking DISCUSS but the fix is so easy that I am balloting NO OBJECTION.

Special thanks to Luigi Iannone for the shepherd's write-up including the WG
consensus and the experimental status.

I hope that this helps to improve the document,

Regards,

## Abstract & section 1

The word "internal" is rather ambiguous.

[AR] What do you think about using instead “implementation-specific” in the Abstract? For Section 1 we can probably just remove “internally”.

## Section 1

I lack the context of course, but isn't "particular LISP deployments" more for
network operators and less for vendors (like in the doc title) ? I.e, using
"Organisation-specific LCAF" seems more appropriate.

[AR] “Vendor” is used in the document to refer in general to someone implementing LISP. Maybe we can use “particular LISP implementations” here instead?

## Section 3

Figure 1 states "Type = TBD" but the text specifies "The "Type" field MUST be
set to the value 255". Using a text similar to section 6 would be an easy fix.
BTW, I was about to raise a blocking DISCUSS on this one.

[AR] Good catch, we updated the document as a result of Alvaro’s review and we missed updating this paragraph. How about we phrase this as follows: “The "Type" field MUST be set to the value assigned by IANA to indicate that this is a Vendor Specific LCAF (255 is recommended, see Section 6)”.

Would this LCAF be used by organisations with any IEEE OUI ? I.e., should there
be a non-recommended option to use a specific OUI in such a case ?

[AR] If I understand the IEEE guidelines correctly [1], it seems that an all-ones value is used to represent unknown/null OUI, maybe we can use that one? Agree that this should be a non-recommended option.
