All,

I have talked with Matthew a bit one of his updates, I agree with the update, but is a bit sensitive to the word "artifacts". In another part of my world "artifact" has a clear flavour of archaeology and pre-history. Matthew looked it up in OED and came up with the definition: “A product of human art and workmanship.” Which wse agree is a little bit of a stretch.

NEW:

Examples of PSHs include existing artifacts such as control
words [RFC4385 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/ rfc9790.html#RFC4385>], BIER (Bit Index Explicit Replication)
headers [RFC8296 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/
rfc9790.html#RFC8296>] and the like, as well as new types of PSH being
discussed by the MPLS Working Group.

Hi Rebecca

Thanks for the updated Auth48 text. I have a couple of comments.

Regards

Matthew

1. Introduction:

I think PSH in the second sentence should be pluralised:

OLD:
Examples of PSH include existing artifacts such as control words [RFC4385 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/ rfc9790.html#RFC4385>], BIER (Bit Index Explicit Replication) headers [RFC8296 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/ rfc9790.html#RFC8296>] and the like, as well as new types of PSH being discussed by the MPLS Working Group.

NEW:

Examples of PSHs include existing artifacts such as control words [RFC4385 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/ rfc9790.html#RFC4385>], BIER (Bit Index Explicit Replication) headers [RFC8296 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/ rfc9790.html#RFC8296>] and the like, as well as new types of PSH being discussed by the MPLS Working Group.

2.1 Definitions:

The definition of PSH is a bit unclear in terms of what it is referring to for the optional field of interest, and it is also mandates that the PSH must include a length when in fact most existing PSHs (such as the PW CW or G-ACH) do not include such a field. I would propose rephrasing to:

OLD:

Post-Stack Header (PSH):

Optional field of interest to the egress Label Switching Router (LSR) (and possibly to transit LSRs). Examples include a control word [RFC4385 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9790.html#RFC4385>] [RFC8964 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9790.html#RFC8964>] or an associated channel [RFC4385 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/ rfc9790.html#RFC4385>] [RFC5586 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/ rfc9790.html#RFC5586>] [RFC9546 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/ rfc9790.html#RFC9546>]. The PSH *MUST* indicate its length, so that a parser knows where the embedded packet starts.

NEW:
Post-Stack Header (PSH):

A field containing information which may be of interest to the egress Label Switching Router (LSR) or transit LSRs. Examples include a control word [RFC4385 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/ rfc9790.html#RFC4385>] [RFC8964 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/ rfc9790.html#RFC8964>] or an associated channel header [RFC4385 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9790.html#RFC4385>] [RFC5586 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9790.html#RFC5586>] [RFC9546 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9790.html#RFC9546>]. A parser needs to be able to determine where the PSH ends in order to find the embedded packet.

Best regards,

Matthew

Authors,

While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as necessary) the 
following questions, which are also in the XML file.

1) <!-- [rfced] Please note that the abbreviated title of the document has been
updated as follows. The abbreviated title only appears in the running
header in the pdf output.

Original:
   1st nibble

Current:
   First Nibble Following Label Stack
GIM>> Thank you; I agree.
-->


2) <!-- [rfced] Please insert any keywords (beyond those that appear in
the title) for use on https://www.rfc-editor.org/search 
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/search>. -->
GIM>> Perhaps
Post-stack header
Load-balancing


3) <!-- [rfced] Please clarify "in the context associated". Note that there
is a similar sentence in the IANA section.

Original:
    Although some existing network
    devices may use such a method, it needs to be stressed that the
    correct interpretation of the Post-stack First Nibble (PFN) in a PSH
    can be made only in the context associated using the control or
    management plane with the Label Stack Element (LSE) or group of LSEs
    in the preceding label stack that characterize the type of the PSH,
    and that any attempt to rely on the value in any other context is
    unreliable.

Perhaps:
    Although some existing network
    devices may use such a method, it needs to be stressed that the
    correct interpretation of the Post-stack First Nibble (PFN) in a PSH
    can be made only in the context of using the control or
    management plane with the Label Stack Entry (LSE) or group of LSEs
    in the preceding label stack that characterizes the type of the PSH.
    Any attempt to rely on the value in any other context is
    unreliable.

Or (similar to sentence in IANA section):
    Although some existing network
    devices may use such a method, it needs to be stressed that the
    correct interpretation of the Post-stack First Nibble (PFN) in a PSH
    can be made only in the context of the Label Stack Entry (LSE) or group of 
LSEs
    in the preceding label stack that characterizes the type of the PSH.
    Any attempt to rely on the value in any other context is

GIM>> Thank you for your creative options. I will propose another re-wording 
using the first option with s/of using/established through/:
     Although some existing network
    devices may use such a method, it needs to be stressed that the
    correct interpretation of the Post-stack First Nibble (PFN) in a PSH

    in the preceding label stack that characterizes the type of the PSH.
    Any attempt to rely on the value in any other context is
    unreliable. -->


4) <!-- [rfced] How may we update the text starting with "including..." to
improve clarity?

Original:
    *  To stress the importance that any MPLS packet not carrying plain
       IPv4 or IPv6 packets contains a PSH, including any new version of
       IP (Section 2.4).

Perhaps:
    *  To stress that any MPLS packet not carrying plain
       IPv4 or IPv6 packets contains a PSH. This also applies to packets of
       any new version of IP (see Section 2.4).
GIM>> Excellent! I agree.
-->


5) <!-- [rfced] The sentences below are from the last two paragraphs of Section 
1.
In the first sentence, will readers understand what is meant by "the
heuristic"?  Would it be helpful to add more context, like that included
in the second sentence?

Original:
    Based on the analysis of load-balancing techniques in Section 2.1.1,
    this document, in Section 2.1.1.1, introduces a requirement that
    deprecates the use of the heuristic and recommends using a dedicated
    label value for load balancing.
    ...
    Furthermore, this document updates [RFC4928] by deprecating the
    heuristic method for identifying the type of packet encapsulated in
    MPLS.

Perhaps:
    Section 2.1.1 of this document includes an analysis of load-balancing
    techniques; based on this, Section 2.1.1.1 introduces a requirement
    that deprecates the use of the heuristic method for identifying the type
    of packet encapsulated in MPLS and recommends using a
    dedicated label value for load balancing.
    ...
    Furthermore, this document updates [RFC4928] by deprecating this
    heuristic method.
GIM>> I like the proposed update of the first paragraph. Since it is followed by two 
sentences, would "this heuristic method" reference be clear to a reader? Would 
keeping that part unchanged be acceptable?
-->


6) <!-- [rfced] Would you like to alphabetize the list of abbreviations in 
Section 1.3
("Abbreviations")? Or do you prefer the current order?

Similarly, would you like to alphabetize the terms in Section 1.2
("Definitions") or keep the current order?
GIM>> Yes, alphabetize them, please.
-->


7) <!-- [rfced] We updated this text as shown below. Specifically, we moved the
third sentence of the first paragraph to follow the list and updated "A."
to read "Example A:". Let us know any concerns.

Original:
    Figure 1 shows an MPLS packet with Layer 2 header X and a label stack
    Y ending with Label-n.  Then, there are three examples of an MPLS
    payload displayed in Figure 2.  The complete MPLS packet thus would
    consist of [X Y A], or [X Y B], or [X Y C].

    A.  The first payload is a bare IP packet, i.e., no PSH.  The PFN in
    this case overlaps with the IP version number.

    B.  The next payload is a bare non-IP packet; again, no PSH.  The PFN
    here is the first nibble of the payload, whatever it happens to be.

    C.  The last example is an MPLS Payload that starts with a PSH
    followed by the embedded packet.  Here, the embedded packet could be
    IP or non-IP.

Updated:
    Figure 1 shows an MPLS packet with a Layer 2 header X and a label stack
    Y ending with Label-n.  Figure 2 displays three examples of an
    MPLS payload:

    Example A:  The first payload is a bare IP packet, i.e., no PSH.  The
       PFN in this case overlaps with the IP version number.

    Example B:  The next payload is a bare non-IP packet; again, no PSH.
       The PFN here is the first nibble of the payload, whatever it
       happens to be.

    Example C:  This example is an MPLS Payload that starts with a PSH
       followed by the embedded packet.  Here, the embedded packet could
       be IP or non-IP.

    Thus, the complete MPLS packet would consist of [X Y A], [X Y B], or
    [X Y C].
GIM>> Thank you for your updates that improve readability of the document.
-->


8) <!-- [rfced] For readability, may we update this list as follows?

Original:
    There are four common ways to load balance an MPLS packet:

    1.  One can use the top label alone.

    2.  One can do better by using all of the non-SPLs (Special Purpose
        Labels) [RFC7274] in the stack.

    3.  One can do even better by "divining" the type of embedded packet,
        and using fields from the guessed header.  The ramifications of
        using this load-balancing technique are discussed in detail in
        Section 2.1.1.1.

    4.  One can do best by using either an Entropy Label [RFC6790] or a
        Flow-Aware Transport (FAT) Pseudowire Label [RFC6391] (see
        Section 2.1.1.1).

Perhaps:
    There are four common ways to load balance an MPLS packet:

    1.  Use the top label alone.

    2.  Use all of the non-SPLs (Special Purpose
        Labels) [RFC7274] in the stack. This is better than using the
        top label alone.

    3.  Divine the type of embedded packet
        and use fields from the guessed header.  The ramifications of
        using this load-balancing technique are discussed in detail in
        Section 2.1.1.1. This way is better than the two ways above.

    4.  Use either an Entropy Label [RFC6790] or a
        Flow-Aware Transport (FAT) Pseudowire Label [RFC6391] (see
        Section 2.1.1.1). This is the best way.
GIM>> I agree with the proposed updates with a suggestion to maintain quotation marks as 
"divine".
-->


9) <!-- [rfced] Would including some text to introduce the numbered list in
Section 2.1.1.1 be helpful? If so, please provide the text.
GIM>> I think that the current text is sufficient but I am open to any text 
other authors propose.
-->


10) <!-- [rfced] Would it be helpful to update "Support for" to "The framework
for" in this sentence?

Original:
    Support for MPLS Network Actions (MNAs) is described in
    [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-fwk] and is an enhancement to the MPLS
    architecture.

Perhaps:
    The framework for MPLS Network Actions (MNAs) is described in [RFC9789] and
    is an enhancement to the MPLS architecture.
GIM>> I agree with the proposed change.
-->


11) <!-- [rfced] This sentence notes that the PFN value of 0x0 has two different
formats, but the IANA registry in Section 3 lists the value 0x0 three
times. Please review and let us know if any updates are needed.

Original:
    This issue is described in section 3.6.1 of [I-D.ietf-mpls-mna-fwk]
    and is further illustrated by the PFN value of 0x0 which has two
    different formats depending on whether the PSH is a pseudowire
    control word or a DetNet control word ...
GIM>> Your observation is correct. Value 0x0 is used by three services that are 
listed in the IANA registry in Section 3. But two of these services use four-octet 
long format, while one - eight-octet long format. Thus, three entries in the registry 
but only two formats.
-->


12) <!-- [rfced] How may we clarify "leading to [RFC4928]"?

Original:
It was then discovered that
    non-IP packets, misidentified as IP when the heuristic failed, were
    being badly load balanced, leading to [RFC4928].

Perhaps:
    It was then discovered that
    non-IP packets, misidentified as IP when the heuristic failed, were
    being badly load-balanced, leading to the scenario described in [RFC4928].
GIM>> Thank you for your creative editing! I agree with the proposed update.
-->


13) <!-- [rfced] What does "it" refer to here?

Original:
    It would assist with the progress toward a simpler, more coherent
    system of MPLS data encapsulation if the use a PSH for non-IP
    payloads encapsulated in MPLS was obsoleted.

Perhaps:
    If the use a PSH for non-IP
    payloads encapsulated in MPLS were obsoleted, this would assist with
    the progress toward a simpler, more coherent
    system of MPLS data encapsulation

Or:
    Obsoleting the use a PSH for non-IP
    payloads encapsulated in MPLS would assist with the progress toward a 
simpler, more coherent
    system of MPLS data encapsulation.
GIM>> Thank you for proposing two excellent options.I slightly prefer the 
second with a minor modification (two options ;-) :
s/the use a PSH/the use of a PSH/ or s/the use a PSH/using a PSH/
-->


14) <!-- [rfced] Please review "to load-balancing MPLS data flows". Should the
"load balance" be used instead of the "load-balancing"? Or
is the current correct?

Original:
    However, before that
    can be done, it is important to collect sufficient evidence that
    there are no marketed or deployed implementations using the heuristic
    practice to load-balancing MPLS data flows.

Perhaps:
    However, before that
    can be done, it is important to collect sufficient evidence that
    there are no marketed or deployed implementations using the heuristic
    practice to load balance MPLS data flows.
GIM>> I think that the current form is acceptable. What do other authors think?
-->


15) <!-- [rfced] We removed the expansion "Network Service Header" in Table 1 as
this is expanded previously in the document. If no objections, we will
ask IANA to update the "Post-Stack First Nibble" registry accordingly
prior to publication.

You may submit your changes in one of two ways:

An update to the provided XML file
— OR —
An explicit list of changes in this format

Section # (or indicate Global)

OLD:
old text

NEW:
new text

You do not need to reply with both an updated XML file and an explicit
list of changes, as either form is sufficient.

We will ask a stream manager to review and approve any changes that seem
beyond editorial in nature, e.g., addition of new text, deletion of text,
and technical changes.  Information about stream managers can be found in
the FAQ.  Editorial changes do not require approval from a stream manager.
