Rob:

Hi!

I just replied to your review of the OSPF document…making the same
suggestion. :-)


Thanks!

Alvaro.

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure whether this should really be a discuss ... I raised a similar
concern on the OSPF document as part of a discuss, and presume consistency
is
helpful.

4.1. Application Identifier Bit Mask

UDABM Length: Indicates the length in octets (0-8) of the
User Defined Application Identifier Bit Mask. The length SHOULD
be the minimum required to send all bits which are set.

User Defined Application Identifier Bits have no relationship to
Standard Application Identifier Bits and are not managed by IANA or
any other standards body. It is recommended that bits are used
starting with Bit 0 so as to minimize the number of octets required
to advertise all UDAs.

In section 4.1, I think that the document should also add the sentence
(taken
from the previous paragraph) "Bits that are not transmitted MUST be treated
as
if they are set to 0 on receipt." Note, that I also think that this
behaviour
is implicitly required from the description of UDABM Length.

Regards,
Rob
