Shraddha,

I made a mistake when I started the MPLS-RT review of this document.

I forgot add myself as Shepherd. Consequently I have not received the 
normal pings and also dropped a number of mails.

Going back over the over the mail archives I see that the authors are 
ready for WGAP.

I do not have a clear statement from the reviewers that they think the 
document is ready. Per above I might have missed some crucial mails.

Huub, Greg and Mach,

Can you confirm that your comments has been sufficiently addressed, and 
that we can go to WGAP?

/Loa

>     Any forwarding plane behaviour change with respect to self destined packets.
>     If you have an implementation that does that, perhaps we can look at whether that is indeed the property of the solution or is implementation-specific.
>     <shraddha> I would like to understand if you have an implementation where the  relayed echo-reply processing on the relay node is done in forwarding plane. The RFC does not specify explicitly that  relay node processing is to  be done in forwarding plane also does not Provide enough details that would be needed to process the "relay node address stack TLV"  in forwarding plane.
>     Also, I'm still concern with the specification for traceroute mode in the draft. I have a couple of additional notes to add:
>     - RFC 7110, as well as RFC 7743 (I've pointed that out in my first comments), has traceroute outside the scope; <Shraddha> This draft has addressed traceroute and provided enough details on how traceroute procedure Works. Let me know if you have specific questions on traceroute procedure.
>     GIM>> As I've noted earlier, it is not clear how ASBR responds if the local policy prohibits it from participating in the described traceroute mode.
> 
>     Do you have a concern with this draft addressing traceroute? As long as this draft provides a workable Solution it should not matter whether previous RFCs in the area addressed traceroute or not!
>     - RFC 8029 (Section 4.3) recommends using the Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV. I couldn't find that TLV being mentioned in the draft. If you believe that TLV must not be used, could you list reasons for not using the Downstream Detailed  Mapping TLV?
>     <Shraddha> Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV is very much used.
>     Section 6.2 specifies no changes to RFC 8029/RFC 8287 procedures.
>     The change is only in processing additional reply path TLV when it comes in echo-request And also in adding this Return path TLV while sending echo-reply.
>     " The responder MUST follow the normal FEC validation procedures as described in [RFC8029] and [RFC8287] and this document does not suggest any change to those procedures."
> 
>     If  it is not clear enough, I can update the text as below " The responder MUST follow the normal FEC validation procedures and echo-reply building procedures as  described in [RFC8029] and [RFC8287] and this document does not suggest any change to those procedures."
> 
>     Let me know if that works for you.
>     GIM>> I think that the new text requires thorough analysis of how the Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV is handled by the remote domain. You would agree that exposing the inner topology to an external system poses a severe security risk.

>     Abstract:
>     Segment Routing (SR) architecture leverages source routing and tunneling paradigms and can be directly applied to the use of a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) data plane.  A network may consist of multiple IGP domains or multiple  ASes under the control of same organization.  It is useful to have the LSP Ping and traceroute procedures when an SR end-to-end path spans across multiple ASes or domains.  This document describes mechanisms to facilitae LSP ping and traceroute in inter-AS/inter-domain  SR networks in an efficient manner with simple OAM protocol extension which uses dataplane forwarding alone for sending echo reply.
