Doing the same as I did with Ben’s email. Fixing the simple stuff first. The 
simple changes (editorial) will be submitted in -21.

Agree, changed. It was SHOULD a long time ago because some hardware couldn’t 
support this. Technology has moved on.

Agree. Same issue as my last comment.

You lose. There are mechanisms (un-documented) for the control-plane to detect 
this on its own.

You can use a PETR that is configurable. But we didn’t want to document 
interworking mechanisms here.

Changed to “reachable”. Thanks.

Thanks,
