Adrian, JP,


A few comments below, mostly typos.

General comment... sometimes the document refers to octets and sometimes to bytes. It would be preferable to use a consistent term throughout.



Abstract

1. Terminology

ABR is not a commonly used term in the context of IS-IS and doesn't appear to be referenced in the document.

domain. This definition is different from that commonly used for IS-IS. Is there a reason for the difference? The document refers to IS-IS routing domains. Is it intended that a domain is different from a routing domain?


top of page 5


This document does not define any new IS-IS elements of procedure.
   The procedures defined in [IS-IS-CAP] should be used.


should that be ... MUST be used?

4.1. The IS-IS PCED TLV

In the introduction this is referred to (correctly) as a sub-TLV, but here and in subsequent text it is referred to as a TLV. This is confusing to say the least.

   When the PCE function is deactivated on a node, the node MUST
   originate a new IS-IS LSP with no longer any PCED TLV. A PCC MUST be
   able to detect that the PCED TLV has been removed from an IS-IS LSP.


are we assuming here that all this information will always fit within a single LSP? That is probably reasonable

Are we also assuming that it will always fit within a single IS-IS CAP TLV? That may not be so reasonable.

If it requires two IS-IS CAP TLVS, is there a requirement that they be carried in the same LSP?



7.1. IS-IS sub-TLV

   Once a registry for the IS-IS Router Capability TLV defined in
   [IS-IS-CAP] will have been assigned, IANA will assign a new


"has been assigned" would be better



9.5. Requirements on Other Protocols and Functional Components

   requirement on other protocols.
