Greg and Gunter (as AD)*,
* Gunter, please review and let us know if you approve this change in Section
2.1 (which is also shown in the diff files below). This is per Greg's reply to
#4 below.
Original:
Requirement 2: The encapsulation of OAM control messages and data
packets in the underlay network MUST be indistinguishable from
each other from the underlay network IP forwarding point of view.
Current:
Requirement 2: The encapsulation of OAM control messages and data
packets in the underlay network MUST be
indistinguishable.
Greg,
Thank you for your reply. Re: #5, you wrote:

Should it be informative or normative? Also, what short name is good for the
reference? It has been added as informative and [P2MP-BFD] for now; we will
update it per your reply. (That document is currently in RFC-EDITOR state.)
Please let us know any further changes.
Original:
For IPv6, the address MUST be
selected from the Dummy IPv6 Prefix for IPv6 *Dummy-IPv6-Prefix*.
Current:
For IPv6, the address MUST be
selected from the Dummy IPv6 Prefix 100:0:0:1::/64 [P2MP-BFD].
