Hi Joel- Thanks for the review. On your minor issue: --- I believe it is more accurate to say that it is to be used "when a node wishes to advertise colors for a link which are not represented in the first 32 bits of the color mask." The node may only wish to advertise colors 7 and 60, but that will require the EAG. ---
I see your point, but I'm having trouble coming up with obvious text. Deciding which colors are represented in a color mask is up to the operator, which means it would have to say something like "when a node wishes to advertise colors for a link which the operator has defined to be outside the first 32 bits of the color mask". but this would be the only use of 'color mask' in the document, and it's not one I've seen used in any other docs around link coloring. The whole sentence you refer to is: " The EAG sub-TLV is used in addition to the Administrative Groups when a node wishes to advertise more than 32 colors for a link." If I rephrased it as " The EAG sub-TLV is used in addition to the Administrative Groups when an operator wants to make more than 32 colors available for advertisement on a link" would that do it? s/wishes/wants/ while I'm here. eric On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 5:55 PM, Joel M.
