Document..........: draft-ietf-ospf-af-alt-09 Reviewer..........: Christian Vogt Review date.......: December 2, 2009 IESG Telechat date: December 3, 2009 Summary: This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should be fixed before publication. The document describes small modifications to the OSPFv3 protocol that enable the use of OSPFv3 for multiple address families simultaneously. The document is well-written and concise, and is ready for publication. However, one nit that should be fixed is the following editorial one: The document uses the acronym "AF" both to denote the term address family, as well as to refer to the OSPF extensions being specified in the document (e.g., in the definition of the AF bit in section 2.2). This is confusing, in particular because "AF" is explicitly defined only to mean the former, not the latter. I suggest using a different name, e.g., "AF support", to denote the OSPF extensions being specified, and adding a definition for this to the introduction of the document. In section 3, "Backwards Compatibility", it may furthermore be worth mentioning that all modifications to OSPFv3, as specified in this document, exclusively affect the use of OSPFv3 for new address families. Since this is a prerequisite for backwards compatibility, it will further support the backwards compatibility claim of this section.
