[RTG-DIR]Routing Directorate Last Call Review for "LISP Distinguished Name Encoding" - draft-ietf-lisp-name-encoding-08

[Acee Lindem <[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 Early Review/Last Call  comments that you receive, and strive to
resolve them through discussion or by updating the draft.

Document: draft-ietf-lisp-name-encoding-08

Intended Status: Standards Track

Summary:
This document specifies the Distinguished Name Address Family encoding
for Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) and Routing Locators (RLOCs). It also
includes usecases for including Distinguished Names in LISP messages.

My review didn't uncover any problems with the encodings or use cases.
I do have some minor comments and some editorial suggestions.

Major Issues: None

Minor Issues:

I have the following minor comments.

  1. In section 3, could you more precisely define the places where
     the new encoding is used? I guess in any LISP message where an
     EID or RLOC is specified?
  2. In section 5, the final sentence fragment didn't parse and it
     wasn't obvious to me how to edit it - "As well as identifying
     the router name...".
  3. In section 9.2, The description of the onboarding process includes
     very specific details that aren't fully explained. Would it be
     possible to describe the use case at a higher level?
  4. Remove change log prior to publication.

Nits:

   I've attached some editorial suggestions.

Thanks,
Acee
