Almost…

Please change the title of Section 7.5 to “IS-IS RTM Capability sub-TLV”.

Please change the title of Table 5 to “IS-IS RTM Capability sub-TLV Registry Description”.

The common point being since this is not exclusively for TLV 22 we do not want to say “for TLV 22”.
Thanx.

Thanx for the quick turnaround.

Section 4.5 (revised text)

   The capability to support RTM on a particular link (interface) is
   advertised in a new sub-TLV which may be included in TLVs advertising
   Intemediate System (IS) Reachability on a specific link (TLVs 22, 23, 222, and 223).

   The format for the RTM Capabilities sub-TLV is presented in Figure 5

     0                   1                   2
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 ...

    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+...

   Figure 5: RTM Capability sub-TLV

Section 7.5 (revised text)

7.5.  IS-IS RTM Capability sub-TLV

   IANA is requested to assign a new Type for RTM capability sub-TLV
   from the Sub-TLVs for TLVs 22, 23, 141, 222, and 223 registry as
   follows:

Loa -



The change for IS-IS encoding to utilize a sub-TLV of TLV 22 et al to advertise RTM capability is a better solution than the previous proposal and this has my support.

However, there are some details as regards the proposed sub-TLV that should be revised.



1)Rather than use a fixed 16 bit field for the flags I suggest you utilize the encoding style introduced in RFC 7794 (see Section 2.1) which allows for a variable length flags field. This addresses two issues:



   o You need never worry that the size of the flags field will be too small for future extensions

   o It minimizes the number of bytes required to be sent



The latter point is something IS-IS has always been more conservative about than OSPF because of the fixed size of an LSP set which can be advertised by a single router.



2)In the IANA considerations you have limited the sub-TLV to being used in TLV 22 only, but there is no reason to do so. This does not allow MT to be supported and it needlessly prevents use of the sub-TLV by the RFC 5311 extensions (however unpopular those may be). I can understand why the sub-TLV may not be useful in TLV 141, therefore I suggest the table in Section 7.5 be revised to be:





    | Type | Description | 22 | 23 | 141 | 222 | 223 | Reference     |

   +------+-------------+----+----+-----+-----+-----+---------------+

  | TBA3 |    RTM       | y  | y  | n   | y   | y   | This document |

    +------+-------------+----+----+-----+-----+-----+---------------+



i.e. "y" for all but TLV 141 (in case the ASCII art doesn't translate well in your mailer).


You should also remove the reference to RFC 5305 in Section 4.5 as it is too limiting. Simply referencing the IANA registry http://www.iana.org/assignments/isis-tlv-codepoints/isis-tlv-codepoints.xhtml#isis-tlv-codepoints-22-23-141-222-223<http://www.iana.org/assignments/isis-tlv-codepoints/isis-tlv-codepoints.xhtml%23isis-tlv-codepoints-22-23-141-222-223> should be sufficient. All necessary references can be found there.



3)An editorial correction:
