Hi,
Then in the document section 4.2, we could say:
One example of spanning two address domains is the ASBR node. Other cases are also possible, and out of the scope of this document.

Lizhong

Consider this to be the push-back! :-)
 
It seems that the domain boundary (probably just an ASBR?) either has to know
that some other domain in the path is using the same address space as it is
using, or it has to know that it is an ASBR. Without applying the K bit for one
of these criteria, the mechanism is broken.
 
I suggest that the former is hard to know, but the latter is easy and can be
injected into the "LSP Ping module". This is NOT topological awareness since it
does not do harm to have extra K bits set, so in the relatively rare case of an
ASBR being on the path of an LSP that does not actually exit the AS, no harm
will be done.
 
The authors may want to ask the chairs how they establish whether there is WG
agreement on this point.
 
Cheers,
Adrian
