Re: [mpls] Stephen Farrell's No Objection on draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-relay-reply-10: (with COMMENT)

["George Swallow (swallow)" <[e-mail]>]

Lizhong, Stephen,

Perhaps less in more!


  Destination Address Offset: the offset in octets from the top-of-stack
  to the destination address entry.


Lizhong –

There are several places in the draft where the term "destination address” should be "destination address entry”

It would also be good to add a column to the table on page 6 indicating the size of each entry

Null              4

IPv4      8

IPv6    20

- 3.2: The description of the destination address offset isn't
clear to me. If this is some common thing in MPLS though, that's
fine. If not, maybe it'd be worth being clearer here.
(It does become clear later though, so this is a nit.)

[Lizhong] I read several times, and try to make it more clear as below:

Destination Address Offset: an offset (octets) to indicate the
      position of the Relayed Address Entry which is also the

      destination address of the Reply or Relayed Reply message.

      E.g., to point the first entry on the top of the Stack of

      Relayed Addresses will have offset of 0, and to point to

      the second entry will have offset of the length of the first entry.
