Hi Chris,

                It's a small suggestion/request :) , The directions are more meaningful than what's explained under terminology section.
nomenclature is very clear that links are assigned with a direction , as a new reader I would like to know
when a link will be undirected/Outgoing/Incoming before jumping into algorithm and its purpose,
If you can elaborate it would be really helpful.

"In the GADAG, each link is marked as OUTGOING, INCOMING or both.  " is repeated.

3.  Terminology and Definitions

   UNDIRECTED:   In the GADAG, each link is marked as OUTGOING, INCOMING
      or both.  Until the directionality of the link is determined, the
      link is marked as UNDIRECTED to indicate that its direction hasn't
      been determined.

   OUTGOING:   In the GADAG, each link is marked as OUTGOING, INCOMING
      or both.  A link marked as OUTGOING has direction from the
      interface's router to the remote end.

   INCOMING:   In the GADAG, each link is marked as OUTGOING, INCOMING
      or both.  A link marked as INCOMING has direction from the remote
      end to the interface's router.


Thanks & Regards
