A crankback TLV is suggested in Section 4.3. While crankback is a desirable extension to both CR-LDP and RSVP-TE (and required by ASON), the proposal ignores the prior work done in http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iwata-mpls-crankback-04.txt. The advantages of the proposed method should be identified and justified.
Furthermore, crankback is not yet within the charter of any IETF Working Group, although this has been proposed (e.g., the IETF-54/CCAMP minutes state 'The charter update is way overdue. Items may be added - protection/restoration, crankback and multi-area operations'). It seems inappropriate to specify a particular crankback extension independent of the possible future work of an IETF Working Group.
