Hi, Bow-Nan.


We have noted your approval on the AUTH48 status page:


https://www.rfc-editor.org/auth48/rfc9892 
<https://www.rfc-editor.org/auth48/rfc9892>


As we now have all approvals, we will prepare this document, along with RFCs 
9893, 9894, and 9895, for publication shortly.


Thank you!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> c) Related to the question above, the first two sentences 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> below do not
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> directly indicate that this document defines the two new 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sub-Data Items in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sections 2.2 and 2.3, but the third sentence does. Should any 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> of these
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sentences be updated?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This document also introduces DLEP Sub-Data Items, and 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sub-Data Items are
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> defined to support DiffServ and Ethernet traffic 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> classification.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This document defines support for traffic classification 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> using a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> single new Data Item in Section 2.1 for general support and 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> two new
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sub-Data Items are defined to support identification of flows 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> based
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> on DSCPs and PCPs.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [Don] This is good.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This document defines traffic classification based on a DLEP
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> destination and flows identified by either DiffServ [RFC2475]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Differentiated Services Codepoints (DSCPs) or IEEE 802.1Q 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [IEEE8021Q]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ethernet Priority Code Points (PCPs).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Perhaps (updates to first two sentences to indicate that this 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> document defines
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the two Sub-Data Items; not changes to third sentence):
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This document also introduces DLEP Sub-Data Items and defines 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> two new
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sub-Data Items to support Diffserv and Ethernet traffic 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> classification.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This document defines support for traffic classification

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> d) May we combine the first paragraph after the current Table 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3 and the last
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> paragraph of Section 5.2 as follows? Also, would it be 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> helpful to separate the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> text after the current Table 3 into a new section so future 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> documents can
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> easily refer to the guidance? Last, we suggest including 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Specification Required"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in this text as the guidance only applies to registrations 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> with that policy.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This section provides guidance to the Internet Assigned 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Numbers
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Authority (IANA) regarding registration of values related to 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Traffic Classification Sub-Data Item Type Values registry for 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DLEP protocol, in accordance with BCP 26 and [RFC8126].
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> To simplify future registrations, it is recommended that this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> guidance serves as a standard reference for all DLEP-related
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> registries. Future specifications may include a header note 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pointing
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to this guidance document.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Perhaps:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 5.3. Registration Guidance
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This section provides guidance for registrations in the 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Traffic
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Classification Sub-Data Item Type Values" registry. To 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> simplify future
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> registrations in DLEP-related registries, it is recommended 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> guidance in this section apply to all registries within the 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Dynamic Link
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Exchange Protocol (DLEP) Parameters" registry group that use 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "Specification Required" policy [RFC8126]. Future 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> specifications
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> may point to the guidance in this document.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [Don] This update is good.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> e) Please clarify "two specific registries" here. Is the 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> intent "two specific
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> entries" (i.e., 1 for Diffserv Traffic Classification and 2 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> for Ethernet
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Traffic Classification)?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Original (the previous sentence included for context):
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This registry encompasses packet traffic classification, where
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> standard packet header identifiers in packets or data frames 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> indicate
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quality of Service (QoS) treatment. It includes two specific
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> registries for widely recognized identifiers used in QoS 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> management
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> for IP and Ethernet networks.
