Re: [mpls] MPLS-RT Review of draft-fbb-mpls-tp-p2mp-framework-05

[<[e-mail]>]

Hi, authors and chairs.

As the MPLS-RT process, I've reviewed draft-fbb-mpls-tp-p2mp-framework-05.

a. Is the document coherent?
It is almost coherent. I have two comments.

- Section 7. (Network Management)
I think the following description should be moved from section 7 to section 4 (OAM).
"Packet Loss and Delay Measurement for
 MPLS Networks [RFC6374] already considers the P2MP case and it is not
 thought that any change is needed to the MPLS-TP profile of [RFC6374]
 [RFC6375]."

- Section 1.2. (Terminology)
I suppose PM is "Performance Monitoring", not "Performance Measurement",
referring to RFC5921, 5951 and 6371.

b. Is it useful (ie, is it likely to be actually useful in operational networks)?
I believe this draft is useful. If possible, comments from operators will help.

c. Is the document technically sound?
My concern is 1:n protection. 
As addressed in section 6, it needs further discussion.
Relating to this point, it will be valuable if the draft lists up protection types
P2MP MAY support (for example, partial tree protection as addressed in section 6).

The other descriptions are clear and well aligned with referred RFCs. 

d. Is the document ready to be considered for WG adoption?
IMO, it's better to close my comments above on section 7 before WG adoption.

Best Regards,
Kenji.
