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

** Section 4.1.  As I understand it, the SABM can be of 0 – 8 octets in length.
The SABM Length field represents that length and has 7 bits to do that. 
However, the maximum number of bits needed to represent 8 is only 4 bits. 
What’s the thinking on those three extra bits?  Should they be marked as
reserved?  I would have the same question for the UDABM mask.

** Section 6.2.  I didn’t follow what it means to send the sub-TLV in Section
4.2 with a zero length SABM Length and UDABM Length – that is two empty
bitmasks?  Is that permitted?  What would it convey?

** Section 8.  Per “Tampering with the information defined in this document may
have an effect on applications using it, including impacting Traffic
Engineering.”, I have no disagreement with this statement.  However, I would
recommend adding a brief statement what is the security impact of “impacting
Traffic Engineering”.

** Section 8.  Per “This is similar in nature to the impacts associated  with
(for example) [RFC5305]”, what specific text in RFC5305 was envisioned?  The
SecCon section (Section 6) of RFC5305 contains only one sentence that points to
RFC5304?

** Editorial
-- Section 3.  Editorial.  Consider providing a reference for the registries
instead of an inline URL.

-- Section 4.1.  The rendering of the sub-TLV diagram was split between Page 6
and 7 when this draft is read in TXT format.  IMO, it would be more readable if
it was on one page.

-- Per Section 4.1.  Editorial.  Per “See the following section for a
description …”, please explicitly name the section.

-- Section 4.2.  Typo. s/Identifer/Identifier/
