I have a few nits to further improve readability:



Section 1:

"Traffic Engineered (TE) networks have a variety of mechanisms to facilitate separation of data plane and control plane" s/facilitate separation/facilitate the separation/ ?



DC&YL>> Yes, agree. We will correct as you suggested.



"This document describes a set of management and control functions used to operate one or more TE networks to construct virtual networks that can be represented to customers" The word "represented" here sounds odd, but I don't really have an alternative -- perhaps just "presented" ? Represented is probably technically correct, but it feels like there should be a more appropriate one...



DC&YL>> We will replace "represented" with "presented".



Section 3.4:

"In addition, some networks may operate a control plane and as such it is not practical for the customer to directly interface with network elements." Can you please clarify that you mean a TE (or similar) control plane -- I believe that *all* networks have some sort of control plane (and so the "some networks"

is false / misleading).



DC&YL>> Here in this sentence, what we were saying is that “some networks may operate a centralized controller, whether it is TE or non-TE, and as such it is also not practical

for the customer to directly interface with network elements. As unclear, and as the first sentence already says this, we think the best is to remove this sentence. Hope that is clearer.
