Hi Santosh,

Thanks for addressing the comments.

General: NULL authentication TLV is still used, should be replaced with NULL authentication type or section as appropriate.
Be consistent for Null v/s NULL (NULL Auth is used in bfd-optimizing-authentication)

Introduction
s/detect lost packet/detect lost packets/

Section 3 Use Cases:
s/any BFD packet loss if loss/any BFD packet loss if the loss/
s/BFD implementation/BFD implementations/
Where the text says “failure of a link”, might be better to say “failure of a datapath”?
Informative references to CFM and TWAMP would be useful

Section 4

“by appending the Null-Authentication type “. Suggest “by appending an authentication section with the NULL Authentication type “

Section 5
“BFD uses authentication TLV”, suggest change to “BFD uses an authentication section”.

“BFD packets MUST include NULL-Auth TLV”. Change to “BFD control packets MUST include an authentication section with the NULL Authentication type”

Section 5.1


“The first BFD NULL-Auth type processed by the receiver…”.  Change to  “The first BFD authentication section with the NULL Authentication type, in a valid BFD control packet, processed by the receiver” .

Also, does it have to be NULL Auth, I believe it can be any auth with sequence number? If that’s the case change to  “The first BFD authentication section with a non-zero sequence number, in a valid BFD control packet, processed by the receiver is used for….”.



Regards,

Reshad.
