COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Six authors seems excessive for a 13-page document. See RFC 7322 §4.1.1 for
guidance. If justified, I would expect to see a request for an exception to
the five-author rule in the ballot, or at least in the shepherd's write-up.

I support Deborah's DISCUSS.

I find a minor editorial nit in §7:

>  In general, the SPF delay algorithm is only effective in mitigating
>  micro-loops if it is deployed, with the same parameters, on all
>  routers, in the IGP domain or, at least, all routers in an IGP area/

"...on all routers in the IGP domain..." (remove comma)
