Authors,

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

1) <!--[rfced] The Abstract and Introduction mention that this document
provides extensions for use with BGP-LS distribution and the SPF
algorithm. Would you like to include "extensions" in the document
title for consistency with the Abstract/Introduction?

Also please consider the short title that appears in the header
of the PDF file as shown below.

Original:
   BGP Link-State Shortest Path First (SPF) Routing

Option A (although it's not required to add "BGP-LS" into the title):
   BGP - Link State (BGP-LS) Shortest Path First (SPF) Routing 

Option B:
   Extensions for BGP Link-State Shortest Path First (SPF) Routing

...
Short Title
Original:
   BGP Link-State SPF Routing

Option At:
   BGP - Link State SPF Routing
-->


2) <!--[rfced] May we rephrase "are a matter of implementation detail" to
"are specific to implementation" or "are specific to the
implementation process" for clarity?

Original:
   However, the details are a matter of implementation detail 
   and out of scope for this document.

Perhaps:
   However, the details are specific to implementation and are 
   out of scope for this document.
-->


3) <!--[rfced] In the RFC Series, "100s or 1000s" is typically spelled
out. Would you like to spell it out as shown below for consistency?

Original:
   With standard BGP path-vector routing, a single link
   failure may impact 100s or 1000s of prefixes and result in the
   withdrawal or re-advertisement of the attendant NLRI. 

Perhaps:
   With standard BGP path-vector routing, a single link
   failure may impact hundreds or thousands of prefixes 
   and result in the withdrawal or re-advertisement of 
   the attendant NLRI. 
-->


4) <!--[rfced] How may we rephrase "and realize all the above advantages"
for clarity? Is the intended meaning that the BGP SPF topology
"offers" the above advantages, as shown below?

Original:
   Finally, the BGP SPF topology can be used as an underlay for other
   BGP SAFIs (using the existing model) and realize all the above
   advantages.

Perhaps:
   Finally, the BGP SPF topology can be used as an underlay for other
   BGP SAFIs (using the existing model), and it offers all the above
   advantages.
-->


5) <!--[rfced] FYI - We rephrased this sentence as shown below so that
it's clear Sections 2 and 3 are in this document and not within
RFCs 4271 and 9552.

Original:
   The document begins with sections defining the precise relationship
   that BGP SPF has with both the base BGP protocol [RFC4271]
   (Section 2) and the BGP Link-State (BGP-LS) extensions [RFC9552]
   (Section 3). 

Current:
   This document begins with Section 2 defining the precise relationship
   that BGP SPF has with the base BGP protocol [RFC4271] and Section 3 
   defining the BGP - Link State (BGP-LS) extensions [RFC9552].
-->


6) <!--[rfced] Would you like the Requirements Language (Section 1.4) to
follow the Terminology (Section 1.1)?
-->       


7) <!--[rfced] May we rephrase this sentence as follows so that it parses
and is parallel with the third entry in the list?

Original:
   Determining the degree of preference for BGP routes for the SPF
   calculation as described in phase 1 of the base BGP decision
   process is replaced with the mechanisms in Section 6.1.

Perhaps:
   Phase 1 of the base BGP decision process, which determines the 
   degree of preference for BGP routes for the SPF calculation, 
   is replaced with the mechanisms in Section 6.1.
-->


8) <!--[rfced] In RFC 4760, the term "Multiprotocol Extensions
capabilities" is used rather than "Multi-Protocol Extensions
Capability". We have updated the text below to reflect
this. Note that there is another instance in Section 5.1.
Please let us know if these changes are not correct.

Original:
   Once the single-hop BGP session has been established and the 
   Multi-Protocol Extensions Capability with the BGP-LS-SPF AFI/SAFI 
   has been exchanged [RFC4760] for the corresponding session...

Current:
   Once the single-hop BGP session has been established and the 
   Multiprotocol Extensions capabilities have been exchanged with 
   the BGP-LS-SPF AFI/SAFI [RFC4760] for the corresponding session...
-->


9) <!--[rfced] The following sentence does not parse - are some words
perhaps missing after "default"? Please let us know how we may
rephrase for clarity.

Original:
   When required, the default wait indefinitely for the EoR Marker prior 
   to advertising the BGP-LS-SPF Link NLRI.  Refer to Section 10.4.
-->


10) <!--[rfced] May we update the title of Section 5 to reflect "Shortest
Path First (SPF)" instead of "Shortest Path Routing (SPF)" for
consistency? And may we remove the SPF expansion in the title of
Section 5.1 since it was expanded in the title of Section 5?

Original:
   5.  BGP Shortest Path Routing (SPF) Protocol Extensions . . .  9
   5.1.  BGP-LS Shortest Path Routing (SPF) SAFI . . . . . . . .  10

Perhaps:
   5.  BGP Shortest Path First (SPF) Routing Protocol Extensions . 9
   5.1.  BGP-LS SPF SAFI . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10
-->


11) <!--[rfced] FYI - We updated the following text to match the TLV
names in RFC 9552.

Original:
   For IPv4 links, the link's local IPv4 (TLV 259) and remote IPv4 
   (TLV 260) addresses are used.  For IPv6 links, the local IPv6 
   (TLV 261) and remote IPv6 (TLV 262) addresses are used (Section 
   5.2.2 of [RFC9552]). 

Current:
   For IPv4 links, the link's local IPv4 interface address (TLV 259) 
   and remote IPv4 neighbor address (TLV 260) are used.  For IPv6 
   links, the local IPv6 interface address (TLV 261) and remote IPv6 
   neighbor address (TLV 262) are used (see Section 5.2.2 of [RFC9552]).
-->


12) <!--[rfced] Section 5.2.2.1. For consistency, should instances of
"Address Family Link Descriptor" be changed to "Address
Family Link Descriptor TLV" here, for consistency with usage in 
the rest of the paragraph (which is not pasted below)?

Original:
   For unnumbered links, the address family cannot be ascertained from
   the endpoint link descriptors.  Hence, the Address Family (AF) Link
   Descriptor SHOULD be included with the Link Local/Remote Identifiers
   TLV for unnumbered links, so that the link can be used in the
   respective address family SPF.  If the Address Family Link Descriptor
   is not present for an unnumbered link, the link will not be used in
   the SPF computation for either address family.  If the Address Family
   Link Descriptor is present for a numbered link, the link descriptor
   will be ignored. 
-->


13) <!--[rfced] We updated the description for BGP status value "1"
(Section 5.2.3.1) for consistency with IANA's "BGP-LS-SPF Prefix
NLRI Attribute SPF Status TLV Status" registry
<https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-spf/>, as shown below.

We also placed the information in a table to match the formatting of 
similar text in Section 5.2.2.2. Tables 3 and 4 are both titled 
"BGP Status Values". Would you like to update one of the titles to 
differentiate the tables?

Original:
 BGP Status Values:
   0 -  Reserved
   1 -  Prefix Unreachable with respect to SPF
   2-254 -  Undefined
   255 -  Reserved

Current:

14) <!--[rfced] We note that "SPF Back-Off algorithm" is called the "SPF
Back-Off Delay algorithm" in RFC 8405. We updated the text below
for consistency. Please let us know of any objections.

Original:
   The scheduling of the SPF calculation, as described in Section 6.3, is an 
   implementation and/or configuration matter.  Scheduling MAY be dampened 
   consistent with the SPF back-off algorithm specified in [RFC8405].

   implementation and/or configuration matter.  Scheduling MAY be dampened 
   consistent with the SPF Back-Off Delay algorithm specified in [RFC8405].
-->


15) <!--[rfced] How may we clarify "as more recent" in the following
text. Have BGP speakers been accepting the self-originated NLRIs
recently (rather than "always"), as shown below?

Original:
   This is due to the fact that BGP speakers adjacent to the router
   always accept self-originated NLRI from the associated speaker as
   more recent (rule #1). 

Perhaps:
   This is due to the fact that BGP speakers adjacent to the router
   have been recently accepting self-originated NLRIs from the 
   associated speaker (per rule #1). 
-->


16) <!--[rfced] Please clarify "Prefix versus Node reachability" in the
last sentence. Does "versus" mean "or" in this context?

Also, we see "BGP-LS-SPF node reachability" in the first sentence. 
Should "node" be "Node" for consistency with "Node reachability" 
(e.g., "BGP-LS-SPF Node reachability")?

Original:
   Local Route Information Base (Local-RIB) - This routing table
      contains reachability information (i.e., next hops) for all
      prefixes (both IPv4 and IPv6) as well as BGP-LS-SPF node
      reachability. Implementations may choose to implement this with 
      separate RIBs for each address family and/or Prefix versus Node 
      reachability.

Perhaps:

      reachability. Implementations may choose to implement this with 
      separate RIBs for each address family and/or Prefix or Node 
      reachability.
-->


17)  <!--[rfced] Please clarify what "less than" refers to - is it the
 metric's cost, length, or other?

Original:
   If the Current-Prefix's corresponding prefix is in the Local-RIB
   and the Local-RIB metric is less than the Current-Prefix's metric,
   the Current-Prefix does not contribute to the route and the next
   Prefix NLRI is examined in Step 4.
-->


18) <!--[rfced] May we update this sentence as shown below for improved
readability and clarity?

Original:
   If the Current-Prefix's corresponding prefix is not in the
   Local-RIB, the prefix is installed with the Current-Node's
   next-hops installed as the Local-RIB route's next-hops and
   the metric being updated.

Perhaps:
   If the Current-Prefix's corresponding prefix is not in the
   Local-RIB, the prefix is installed with the Current-Node's
   next-hops, which are installed as the next-hops for 
   the Local-RIB route and the metric being updated.
-->


19) <!--[rfced] The following sentences do not parse, for example, "that
the BGP-LS-LINK NLRI is advertised with SPF Status". How may we
rephrase this text for clarity?

Also, should "BGP-LS-LINK NLRI" be updated as "BGP-LS-SPF Link NLRI"
in the first sentence and "BGP-LS-Prefix NLRI" be updated as
"BGP-LS-SPF Prefix NLRI" in the second sentence for consistency?

Original: 
   The configurable LinkStatusDownAdvertise timer controls the interval
   that the BGP-LS-LINK NLRI is advertised with SPF Status indicating
   the link is down prior to withdrawal. 

   The configurable PrefixStatusDownAdvertise timer controls the
   interval that the BGP-LS-Prefix NLRI is advertised with SPF
   Status indicating the prefix is unreachable prior to withdrawal.

Perhaps:
   The configurable PrefixStatusDownAdvertise timer controls the
   interval when a BGP-LS-SPF Link NLRI has been advertised with the 
   SPF Status TLV and indicates that the prefix is unreachable prior 
   to withdrawal.

   interval when a BGP-LS-SPF Prefix NLRI is advertised with the 
   SPF Status TLV and indicates that the prefix is unreachable prior 
   to withdrawal.

20) <!--[rfced] FYI, we placed the information in Table 5 in ascending
order to match the "BGP-LS NLRI and Attribute TLVs" registry at
<https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-ls-parameters/>
-->


21) <!--[rfced] Please consider whether the registry names make sense with
"Status" repeated, i.e., "Status TLV Status"? For example, is the meaning
intact if the last word is removed? Or, we see examples of registry names
that end with "TLV Types" or "TLV Values".

Original [not a comprehensive list of instances]:
   the "BGP-LS-SPF Link NLRI Attribute SPF Status TLV Status" registry

22) <!--[rfced] We having trouble parsing this sentence. Does the
processing of the BGP SPF and BGP-LS-SPF SAFI cause the encoding
to be inherited from BGP-LS (option A)? Or do BGP-LS-SPF SAFIs
and processed BGP SPFs inherit the encoding (option B)? Please
clarify.

Original:
   The BGP SPF processing and the BGP-LS-SPF SAFI inherit the encoding
   from BGP-LS [RFC9552], and consequently, inherit the security
   considerations for BGP-LS associated with encoding. 

Perhaps A:
   When BGP SPF and BGP-LS-SPF SAFI are processed, they inherit 
   encoding from BGP-LS [RFC9552] and, consequently, inherit the 
   security considerations for the BGP-LS associated with encoding.

   from BGP-LS [RFC9552] and, consequently, inherit the security
   considerations for BGP-LS associated with encoding.

Original:
   Algorithms such as setting the metric inversely to the link speed as
   supported in some IGP implementations MAY be supported.

Perhaps:
   Algorithms that set the metric inversely to the link speed
   in some IGP implementations MAY be supported.

24) <!--[rfced] In the first sentence, is "BGP-LS-SPF AFI/SAFI SPF"
correct or should it perhaps be "BGP-LS-SPF AFI/SAFI"?

In the second sentence, should "BGP SPF Link-State" perhaps be 
"BGP-LS-SPF" for consistency?

Original: 
   In common deployment scenarios, the unicast routes installed during
   BGP-LS-SPF AFI/SAFI SPF computation serve as the underlay for other
   BGP AFI/SAFIs. To avoid errors encountered in other AFI/SAFIs from
   impacting the BGP-LS-SPF AFI/SAFI or vice versa, isolation
   mechanisms such as separate BGP instances or separate BGP sessions
   (e.g., using different addresses for peering) for BGP SPF Link-State
   information distribution SHOULD be used.

confirm that no updates related to these comments are
outstanding. Note that the comments will be deleted prior to
publication.
-->


27) <!-- [rfced] Terminology

a) Throughout the text, the following terminology appears to be used 
inconsistently. Please review these occurrences and let us know 
if/how they may be made consistent.  

 BGP Router vs. BGP router

 BGP SPF Router vs. BGP SPF router

 BGP-LS Attribute vs. BGP-LS attribute 
   [Note: uppercase used in RFC 9552]

 BGP-LS Prefix Attribute vs. BGP-LS Prefix attribute

 BGP-LS-SPF Link NLRI vs. BGP-LS-SPF NLRI
   [Note: are these terms different or the same?]

 BGP-LS-SPF Node NLRI vs. BGP-LS-SPF NLRI
   [Note: are these terms different or the same?]

 Decision Process vs. decision process 
   [Note: uppercase used in RFC 4271]

 Remote Node NLRI vs. Remote-Node NLRI

 UPDATE message vs. Update message vs. update message
   [Note: should this be "UPDATE message" per RFC 7606?]


b) FYI - We updated the following terms to reflect the forms on the right 
for consistency. Please let us know of any objections.

 AS Number (TLV 512) -> Autonomous System (TLV 512) (per RFC 9552)
 back-off algorithm -> Back-Off algorithm (per RFC 8405)
 Error Handling -> error handling
 BGP update -> BGP Update
 BGP SPF Routing Domain -> BGP SPF routing domain 
 BGP-SPF -> BGP SPF (2 instances)
 BGP-LS-SPF LINK NLRI -> BGP-LS-SPF Link NLRI
 EoR Marker -> EoR marker (per RFC 4724)
 IGP metric attribute TLV (TLV 1095) -> IGP Metric (TLV 1095) (per RFC 9552)
 link NLRI -> Link NLRI (1)
 local and remote node descriptors ->  Local and Remote Node Descriptors
 local node descriptor -> Local Node Descriptor
 NLRI Link -> Link NLRI (1)
 Node identifiers -> Node Identifiers
 phase 1 -> Phase 1
 Route Reflector -> route reflector (per RFC 4456)
 SAFI BGP-LS-SPF BGP Update -> BGP-LS-SPF SAFI BGP Update
 set 1 -> Step 1
 Ships-in-the-Night -> ships-in-the-night (per other RFCs)
 Treat-as-withdraw -> treat-as-withdraw (per RFC 7606)
 Unequal Cost Multi-Path -> Unequal-Cost Multipath
 Unicast -> unicast


c) In this document, we note one occurrence of "BGP-LS-SPF Attribute TLV", 
and it is not used in any other RFCs. Is this correct or does it need an
update for consistency?

Original:
   The BGP-LS-SPF Attribute TLV of the BGP-LS-SPF Link NLRI is defined
   to indicate the status of the link with respect to the BGP SPF
   calculation. 


d) In this document, we note one occurrence each of "BGP-LS Node attribute"
and "BGP-LS Link Attribute". Should these be updated as "BGP-LS Attribute" 
or other for consistency?

Original: 
   If the BGP-LS Node attribute includes an SPF Status TLV 
   (refer to Section 5.2.1.1) indicating the node is 
   unreachable, the Node NLRI is ignored and the next lowest 
   cost Node NLRI is selected from the CAN-LIST. 

Original:
   If BGP-LS-SPF Link NLRI has
   been advertised with the SPF Status TLV and the link becomes
   available in that period, the originator of the BGP-LS-SPF LINK  NLRI
   MUST advertise a more recent version of the BGP-LS-SPF Link NLRI
   without the SPF Status TLV in the BGP-LS Link Attributes.


e) Should one instance of "local/remote link identifiers" perhaps 
be "Link Local/Remote Identifiers" for consistency?

Original:
   For a link to be used in SPF computation for a given address family,
   i.e., IPv4 or IPv6, both routers connecting the link MUST have
   matching addresses (i.e., router interface addresses must be on the
   same subnet for numbered interfaces and the local/remote link
   identifiers (Section 6.3) must match for unnumbered interfaces).

Perhaps:
   For a link to be used in SPF computation for a given address family,
   i.e., IPv4 or IPv6, both routers connecting the link MUST have
   matching addresses (i.e., router interface addresses must be on the
   same subnet for numbered interfaces, and the Link Local/Remote
   Identifiers (Section 6.3) must match for unnumbered interfaces).


f) We note the following variations - are these terms different or 
the same? Please let us know if any should be updated for consistency.

  Link Local/Remote Identifiers (TLV 258)
  Link Remote Identifier 
  Link's Remote Identifier
  Remote Link Identifier
  Remote Identifier
  Current or Remote Link's Local Identifier
  Current-Link's Remote Identifier 

As one example, how may we update this sentence for consistency? Should 
the reference to TLV 258 be "Link Local/Remote Identifiers" per RFC 9552 
(option A)? Or should hyphens be added to "Current and Remote Link's"
(option B)?

Original:
   Since the Link's Remote Identifier may not be known, a value of 0
   is considered a wildcard and will match any Current or Remote
   Link's Local Identifier (see TLV 258 [RFC9552]).

Perhaps A:
   Since the Link Remote Identifier may not be known, a value of 0
   is considered a wildcard and will match any Link Local/Remote 
   Identifiers (see TLV 258 [RFC9552]).

Perhaps B:
   Since the Link Remote Identifier may not be known, a value of 0
   is considered a wildcard and will match any Current-Link or 
   Remote-Link's Local Identifier (see TLV 258 [RFC9552]).


g) We note inconsistencies with "next hop". May we update the document
as shown below for consistency?  

 Next-Hop vs. Next Hop vs. next-hop vs. next hop

 Some instances in the document:
  BGP Next-Hop
  Current-Node's next-hops 
  Local-RIB Next-Hop
  Local-RIB route's next-hops
  MP_REACH_NLRI Next-Hop
  The Next Hop in the MP_REACH_NLRI attribute 
  (i.e., next hops) 
  the next-hop for...

Perhaps:
  BGP Next-Hop (per RFC 9552)
  Local-RIB Next-Hop
  MP_REACH_NLRI Next-Hop

  When used in general: lowercase open form or hyphenated 
    when preceding a noun (e.g., "The next-hop list is set 
    to the internal loopback next hop").
-->


28) <!-- [rfced] Abbreviations

a) FYI - We have added expansions for the following abbreviations
per Section 3.6 of RFC 7322 ("RFC Style Guide"). Please review each
expansion in the document carefully to ensure correctness.

 Autonomous System (AS)
 Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
 Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) 
 Unequal-Cost Multipath (UCMP) 

b) We note "LSDB" and "LSNDB". Are these different databases or 
should they be updated for consistency? 

 Link State Database (LSDB) (per RFC 9552)
 Link State NLRI Database (LSNDB)

c) We updated the following expansions to reflect the form on the right
for consistency with the RFC Series:
 
 BGP Link-State (BGP-LS) -> BGP - Link State (BGP-LS) (per RFC 9552)
 Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) -> Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) 
 Internal Gateway Protocols (IGPs) -> Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs)
 Subsequent Address Families Identifiers (SAFIs) -> 
     Subsequent Address Family Identifiers (SAFIs) 
-->


29) <!-- [rfced] Please review the "Inclusive Language" portion of the online 
Style Guide <https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language>
and let us know if any changes are needed.  Updates of this nature typically
result in more precise language, which is helpful for readers.

Note that our script did not flag any words in particular, but this should 
still be reviewed as a best practice.

Submitting changes
------------------

To submit changes, please reply to this email using ‘REPLY ALL’ as all 
the parties CCed on this message need to see your changes. The parties 
include:

  *  your coauthors

  *  rfc-edi...@rfc-editor.org (the RPC team)

  *  other document participants, depending on the stream (e.g., 
     IETF Stream participants are your working group chairs, the 
     responsible ADs, and the document shepherd).

  *  auth48archive@rfc-editor.org, which is a new archival mailing list 
     to preserve AUTH48 conversations; it is not an active discussion 
     list:

    *  More info:
       
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/yb6lpIGh-4Q9l2USxIAe6P8O4Zc

    *  The archive itself:
       https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/auth48archive/

    *  Note: If only absolutely necessary, you may temporarily opt out 
       of the archiving of messages (e.g., to discuss a sensitive matter).
       If needed, please add a note at the top of the message that you 
       have dropped the address. When the discussion is concluded, 
       auth48archive@rfc-editor.org will be re-added to the CC list and 
       its addition will be noted at the top of the message. 

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.
