Very minor but I believe the usual way, inside a draft, to refer to the RFC which that draft might become is "[this document]" (without the double quotes) rather than "[RFCXXXX]". Changing to the more common notation would, I believe, enable the RFC Editor note to be removed as "[this document]" is well understood by the RFC Editor. > > Section 2.

Thanks. I understand how you feel but currently the IESG likes the boilerplate with RFC 8174 reference... > Section 2.

They are more for reading through than for being looked up individually, most of them fall into logical little groups, and there are not so many that it's hard to find one. OK. > Section 4.2, page 18. "802.1p" has been merged into 802.1Q ages ago. Values of the priority field are commonly referred to in IEEE 802.1 as Priority Code Points (PCPs) and in any case this seems a bit inconsistent to the way that the merger of 802.1ah into 802.1Q is recognized in the draft. Perhaps the last sentence of Section 4.2 could be: "An operator can define certain [IEEE802.1Q] Priority Code Points to indicate non-QCN frames and an ingress bridge is required to map arriving not-QCN-capable IP packets to one of these code points." > > OK. I've taken on board the spirit of your edit, but changed it slightly: > > An operator can define certain > Priority Code Points (PCPs [IEEE802.1Q]; previously 802.1p) to > indicate non-QCN frames and an ingress bridge is required to map > arriving not-QCN-capable IP packets to one of these non-QCN PCPs. > > This is then consistent with the other references to 802.1Q, which also give the number of the constituent part before it was wrapped up into the mega-standard. If you think this is clumsy, pls say. I did it this way, because many people know these 802.1 drafts much better by their old name (well, for 'many people' read 'me', or perhaps read it as 'old farts like me'). I'm fine with your wording. No problem mentioning 802.1p as long as it doesn't send people off looking for a current version of that but rather makes it clear that the relevant material in now in 802.1Q. > Section 4.4, point 1, first starred subpoint, there is something odd about "the packet MAY be forwarded, but it SHOULD be dropped". > > Any better (I've added some of the context for the list)?: > > If the congestion marking is the > most severe possible, the packet MUST be dropped.

As per subsequent discussion in this thread, if you are OK with stopping at "... the packet SHOULD be dropped." that would certainly resolve my comment. > Section 7.

All authors should be pollable about IPR they know and when the draft gets to the AUTH48 state before RFC publication, the RFC editor must be able to contact all the authors.
