Re: [mpls] draft-ietf-mpls-mna-hdr draft updates

Hi Jags,
thank you for sharing the updates. I have a couple of questions about RLD.

   - The updated draft presents RLD as being a newly defined term
   introduced in this draft. Although RLD might be related to ERLD-MSD defined
   in RFC 9088, that is okay if the draft provides a clear definition of the
   new term. Section 7, in my understanding, describes the usage of RLD but is
   rather short on defining it. Would the following text be acceptable:

Readable Label Depth is defined as the number of labels, starting from the
top of the stack, a router can read in an MPLS packet received on its
incoming interface(s).

   - It looks like RLD is presented as a system-wide parameter. I think
   that it might be more accurate to consider RLD per ingress interface (see
   the proposed definition of RLD above).

Also, do the Editors find it helpful to note that the Base MPLS Imposition
MSD affects the imposition of the label stack that includes MNA?

Regards,
Greg
