Unlike other drafts, this document is just one continuous page. Is that 
deliberate?



Section 1, paragraph 3: "The proposal in this document makes more sense for the 
postcard mode."

Please clarify whether this means that it only applies to postcard mode and 
must not be used in passport mode. Or can it be used for passport mode despite 
this statement?



Section 1, paragraph 4: "they must be registered in the "IANA Performance 
Metric Registry [IANA-PERF-METRIC] ."

Someone must come back and update this to, "they are registered", or "they have 
been registered", but there's no mark in the document to indicate that the text 
must be updated.



Figure 1 might be clearer if the routers? were numbered R0, R1, R2, R3 so that 
node R1 exports delay R1; node R2 exports delay D2, and node R3 exports D3.

Please draw arrowheads on the H1 ---> H2 lines.

Why is 'x'  a slight horizontal distance from R1, rather than on the dotted 
line?

In Figure 1 and the following two paragraphs, "Node" and "Router" are used 
interchangeably. Could one term be used consistently?



Section 1, last paragraph.

I don't understand this: "For the computation of the min, max, and mean delay 
metric to be computed locally on the router, the exporter Metering Process 
requires some local caching/processing computation (for each new packets in the 
flow), specifically the mean value."

I don't understand this: "The alternative, with no delay monitoring on the 
router, requires the export of every single packet as a separate Flow Record, 
including the timestamps information, as described in 
[I-D.ietf-opsawg-ipfix-alt-mark] for Alternate Marking, for the Collector to 
compute delay metrics (min, max, and mean), before recomputing the aggregated 
Flow Record."



Section 2: "This document makes use of the terms defined in [RFC7011] and 
[RFC9378]."

The following sections mention terms from RFC7011, RFC8911, and RFC7799, but 
not from RFC9378.



3.1.1.2

"Observation Point (OP) [RFC7011]"

It's not useful to define (OP) here.


"RFC EDITOR NOTE: please replace [RFC-to-be]."

TBD1 - TBD4 must also be replaced.



3.1.1.2 - 3.1.2

The document should define and request one metric at a time, rather than 
providing bulk inputs.

At least the Name, URI, Description, and Units should be grouped per metric, 
because the current format provides no relation between these values.



3.2.1, 4th paragraph: "With the OP [RFC7011] typically located".

I guess "OP" is "Observation Point", but "OP" is not defined in RFC7011. Just 
write "Observation Point" (twice).



3.4.2.5 Why are the PM metrics measured in seconds (with a resolution of 1ns) 
while the IPFIX IEs are in Microseconds?

There was no mention that they are incompatible, nor any discussion of how to 
convert between them.



Section 4. Is this section necessary? These definitions repeat those in section 
6, except that the line, "according to 
OWDelay_HybridType1_Passive_IP_RFC[RFC-to-be]_Seconds_* in the IANA Performance 
Metric Registry." is missing.



6.1 "with the four templates defined in Section 3."

It was not clear that section 3 defined four templates.



7.4 "comparing the timestamps for each received packet"

It may be clearer to write, "comparing the OWD timestamps in each received 
packet".



A.1.2 Figure 5, Length should be 64.

Resending with the correct address for IANA.

Hi Authors,

Thanks for putting this document together. The document has already been 
reviewed by several folks, so most of these comments should be easy to address.

Normally, IANA would review this document later in the process, but I would 
like them to review this document early, as most of the document relates to 
IANA. I have a separate note for Paul Aitken in the document.

Cheers.
