[RTG-DIR] RtgDir review: draft-ietf-detnet-ip-over-mpls-04.txt

[Tomonori Takeda <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

I have been selected as the Routing Directorate reviewer for this draft. The Routing Directorate seeks to review all routing or
routing-related drafts as they pass through IETF last call and IESG review, and sometimes on special request. The purpose of the
review is to provide assistance to the Routing ADs. For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see :
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir

Although these comments are primarily for the use of the Routing ADs, it would be helpful if you could consider them along with any
other IETF Last Call comments that you receive, and strive to resolve them through discussion or by updating the draft.

Document: draft-ietf-detnet-ip-over-mpls-04.txt

Intended Status: Standards Track

o Summary:
I have some minor concerns about this document that I think should be resolved before publication.

o Comments:
This document specifies data plane procedures for Detnet IP over Detnet MPLS, using Detnet IP and Detnet MPLS specified in other
documents.

This document is fairly straight-forward based on related documents (detnet-ip, detnet-mpls, detnet-data-plane-framework, RFC8655).

o Major Issues:
None

o Minor Issues:
I am a bit confused how "aggregation" is applied in Detnet IP over Detnet MPLS.

In Section 3, it says, "an IP flow is mapped to one or more PWs and MPLS (TE) LSPs."

By reading detnet-mpls, aggregation (aggregating individual flows and their associated resource into a larger aggregate ) is
achieved via LSP hierarchy.

Does this mean that in Detnet IP over Detnet MPLS context, LSP hierarchy is mandatory for aggregation? Or is it possible to map
multiple Detnet IP flows into one PW as an aggregate?

I think it is better clarify this in the document.

Nits:
- It seems text in Section 5.1 references wrong sections. For example,
  - "the procedures defined in [I-D.ietf-detnet-mpls] Section 6.1." (which does not exist).
  - "defined in [I-D.ietf-detnet-mpls] Section 5.4." (which does not exist).
  - "defined in [I-D.ietf-detnet-ip] Section 7.1." (which does not exist).

- It is good to have "PRF" and "PEF/POF" in Section 2.2 (Abbreviations).

Thanks,
Tomonori
