Please resolve these comments along with any other
Last Call comments you may receive.

Summary: not ready

The document has a real problem with its style: it is very unpleasant
to read. Unfortunately this is not something the RFC editor can fix...

Detailed comments/suggestions:
 - Abstract: This document describes transport -> the transport?
 - 1.1: remove trailing "." of PE definition
 - 1.1: I suggest to introduce here the L2TPv3 messages as
   imported abbreviations in the logical (i.e., not alpha) order.
 - 1.2 (NSP function): Ethernet packets -> Ethernet frames
 - 1.2: as VLAN tags are in some further cases 802.1q tags,
   I propose to cite 802.1Q the first time and use "VLAN" everywhere
   at the exception of 802.1Q specific places.
 - 2.2 c): must -> MUST?
 - 2.3.2: to indicate the Ethernet interface -> plural without "the"?
 - 3.2: may -> MAY?
 - (technical) 3.3: I am not convinced at all by the very last part
   (fragmentation/reassemble recommendation) because it is a layer violation
   and the goal (manage the issue at only one place as explain in
   L2TPFRAG section 5.1) is not explained.
 - 4: please introduce the AC abbrev
 - 4: the 802.1Q tag -> a VLAN tag
 - 4: preamble or FCS -> preamble and FCS
 - 4: IPSec -> IPsec (cf RFC 4301 introduction)
 - 4: For Ethernet VLAN PW, VLAN tag rewrite ...: can't parse this statement
 - 4: there is no TOS octet or QoS field in the IP header (look at RFC 2474?)
 - 4: 802.1Q CS and ... -> too many "and" (note that here 802.1Q is the
   right term)
 5: should -> SHOULD ??
 9.1 L2TPFRAG: missing I-D name (draft-ietf-pwe3-fragmentation-10.txt?)
