<RG> We can keep it given the Figure showing the extensions unless there is
a preference to remove it.

4.1 you should ideally provide a reference for how to do MBB signalling.

<RG> Added [RFC3209].

4.3 “Similarly, if a PCC gets overwhelmed due to signaling churn, it can

<RG> Added.

5.1 Not a big deal, but I wonder if there is any practical reason to

<RG> There is a precedence for the second bullet error message in [RFC
8231] (e.g. error-value 2). The first bullet error message just comes from
the existing behaviour without this extension.

5.6 Why are AUTO-BANDWIDTH-ATTRIBUTES required (MUST) in the LSPA object of

<RG> Agree. Removed the sentence.

<RG> Updated the text.

<RG> Fixed.

<RG> Updated.
