Hi Tero,

I do not think that is completely correct, as this document is not
marked as updating the RFC 8029. Perhaps something like:

   This document updates [RFC8287] and does not introduce any
   additional security considerations. See [RFC8029] to see generic
   security considerations about the MPLS LSP Ping.

<Nagendra> It looks good. We will update the document accordingly.

Btw, looking at the RFC8287 and 8029 they seem to use sub-TLV inside
the text, but in this draft you seem to use both Sub-TLV and sub-TLV.
It would be better to be consistent with it. For example the section
7.1 (both in header and body) has lower case version of "Segment ID
sub-TLV", when section 6 has upper case version "Segment ID Sub-TLV"
in the body. Only the abstract uses the SUb-TLV spelling...

<Nagendra> Good catch. We will update the same for consistency.

I understand it is much harder
to get rid of that in the actual discussions in the session etc, but
at least here in the RFCs we can make it easier for new people to read
the drafts when they do not need to be doing mappings between RFC
numbers and the titles in their head, but can see both the number and
name in the text.

<Nagendra> Some of these RFCs are referenced multiple times in the draft. Are you suggesting to have it in the first occurrence or in all the occurences?.

Thanks,
Nagendra

That should be ok.

Btw, looking at the RFC8287 and 8029 they seem to use sub-TLV inside
the text, but in this draft you seem to use both Sub-TLV and sub-TLV.
It would be better to be consistent with it. For example the section
7.1 (both in header and body) has lower case version of "Segment ID
sub-TLV", when section 6 has upper case version "Segment ID Sub-TLV"
in the body. Only the abstract uses the SUb-TLV spelling...

I agree it is common use, but it makes it hard for outsiders to get
in to reading IETF specifications in general. It makes us (the ietf)
to be felt like insider group, if you do not know the magic language
and can't map the RFC numbers to actual document names in your head,
you can't follow the discussion easily. I understand it is much harder
to get rid of that in the actual discussions in the session etc, but
at least here in the RFCs we can make it easier for new people to read
the drafts when they do not need to be doing mappings between RFC
numbers and the titles in their head, but can see both the number and
name in the text.
