Hi Authors,

I have reviewed the document and I think that the document is useful by
addressing a gap for network operations. The approach is technically sound
and easily implementable. The document is coherent. It is ready to be
considered for WG adoption.

Here are a few comments that can wait until the WG adoption.

1. The aging/timeout mechanism used by Ethernet ARP is not mentioned in
this document. Is it intended to recommend implementing such a mechanism?

2. It is understandable that the initial use case came from MPLS over
Ethernet, but is this mechanism Ethernet dependent, or usable for other
types of hardware (at least in theory)?

3. Sec 3.3. says that “1. checks if it has reachability to H3.” Is this
check for “IP reachablity”, or MPLS reachability with an available
lable stack that can be used to reach H3?

4. In Figure 3. of Sec 5.1., there is “ ... (3 octets)”. Should it be “2
octets” here? Also, if these 2 octets are not used, why 6 is chosen as the
hardware address length?

Thanks,

- Xufeng
