I don't understand how this can be implemented considering the last 2 
paragraphs of Section 7:

```
IGPs provide no direct way for a router to learn the identifiers assigned by 
its neighbor to the individual bundle members, since the L3 protocol does not 
operate on the bundle members. The acquisition of the exact remote identifier 
value is therefore outside the scope of this document. Implementations MAY 
obtain the value through configuration or through implementation-specific 
discovery procedures. L2 protocols such as the Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP) ([IEEE802.1AB]) and the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
([IEEE802.1AX]) allow a router to discover the identity of the neighboring port 
on each member link, and implementations MAY use them as part of such 
procedures. Note, however, that the identifiers carried by these protocols are 
not required to match the L2 Bundle Member Link Local Identifiers advertised by 
the neighbor: the LLDP Port ID is subtype-dependent and is not necessarily a 
32-bit numeric value, and the LACP Actor and Partner Port Numbers are 16-bit 
values assigned independently by each end. Any mapping between the identifiers 
discovered via these protocols and the neighbor's advertised L2 Bundle Member 
Link Local Identifiers is implementation-specific.

To verify the correctness of the acquired remote identifiers, implementations 
SHOULD provide mechanisms to validate that received advertisements are 
consistent with the relationship defined above, i.e., that the value advertised 
as the remote identifier for a member equals the value advertised as the L2 
Bundle Member Link Local Identifier for the corresponding member by the 
neighboring router. Mismatched pairs may indicate misconfiguration or incorrect 
discovery. ```

How can an implementation meet this MUST: `The remote interface identifier 
advertised by a router for a bundle member MUST be the exact non-zero 32-bit 
value that the neighboring router advertises as the L2 Bundle Member Link Local 
Identifier for that same bundle member.`?  How would you validate that this 
`MUST` is met?

Changwang>Thanks! The text has been revised in the latest version, with 
supplementary explanations included.
It constrains only the value itself and does not require advertisement. If the 
value has not been learned, it should not be advertised.
Validation is performed exclusively on the receiving side and may be conducted 
by any receiver.
Both compliance with this MUST requirement and verification of such compliance 
depend solely on data advertised by the protocol itself; no out-of-band 
mechanism is assumed.

COMMENT:

Thanks to Brian W. for the SECDIR review.

Thanks to the authors for a clear (especially for the non-BGP audience) and 
concise draft.

I also support Med's comment about the diagram in section 5 and would change 
his comment to say that the field should be labeled `reserved` with a statement 
as to how it should be transmitted (e.g. all zeros).

Changwang>
Med’s comment on the diagram in Section 5 was simply to remove “++++++++++”;
it did not concern any specific field. The extra portion must not be treated as 
a reserved field and set to zero during transmission.
In IS-IS, unlike OSPF, there is no padding of fields to 32 bit boundaries.
Thanks!
