Hi Ramon,

 

I think this could be more clearly stated as - 

 

OLD
   This document defines one mandatory TLV "VIRTUAL-NETWORK-TLV" and one
   new optional TLV "VENDOR-INFORMATION-TLV"; apart from this TLV,
   VENDOR-INFORMATION-TLV can be used to carry arbitrary vendor specific
   information.

   o  VIRTUAL-NETWORK-TLV: Used to communicate the VN Identifier.

   o  VENDOR-INFORMATION-TLV: Used to communicate arbitrary vendor
      specific behavioral information, described in [RFC7470].

NEW
  This document defines one new mandatory TLV "VIRTUAL-NETWORK-TLV";
   apart from this TLV, the existing VENDOR-INFORMATION-TLV [RFC7470] 
   can be optionally used as described below:

   o  VIRTUAL-NETWORK-TLV: Used to communicate the VN Name.

   o  VENDOR-INFORMATION-TLV: Used to communicate arbitrary vendor
      specific behavioral information, described in [RFC7470].

END        

 

The VIRTUAL-NETWORK-TLV is used for VN Name only and any other vendor-specific 
info goes in VENDOR-INFORMATION-TLV. Does this work for you? 

 

 

Hi Dhruv, all

 

Almost there :) -- I also noticed that you also changed Identifier -> Name, I 
guess that’s from another comment –

 

IMHO,  

*       now the text seems to say: “the existing tlv can be used  as described 
below : “ and one of the two bullets still relates to the new VN_TLV. Maybe 
adding a “jointly”
*       the two references to RFC7470 are IMHO slightly redundant

 

NEW NEW  OPTION 1 



   This document defines one new mandatory TLV "VIRTUAL-NETWORK-TLV”.
   Optionally, the new TLV can be jointly used with the existing 

   VENDOR-INFORMATION-TLV [RFC7470] as described below:

   o  VIRTUAL-NETWORK-TLV: Used to communicate the VN Name.

   o  VENDOR-INFORMATION-TLV: Used to communicate arbitrary vendor
      specific behavioral information, described in [RFC7470].

END        

 

(the “, described in [RFC7470].” could be suppressed)

 

Personally, I would simplify it as follows:

 

NEW NEW OPTION 2


  This document defines one new mandatory TLV "VIRTUAL-NETWORK-TLV", 
  used to communicate the VN Name. Note that the existing 
VENDOR-INFORMATION-TLV 

  can be optionally used to communicate arbitrary vendor specific behavioral 

  information, as described in [RFC7470].

 

END        

 

That said, it is quite minor, the point was avoiding the confusion that the 
draft defined the vendor tlv, I am ok with any wording

 

Thanks and best regards

Ramon
