I would tend to say "spine and leaf" here, rather than Clod -- Clos is one 
instance of a spine and leaf, but there are others.

It is probably useful to indicate both topology and reachability state here, as 
they are two different things.

This might be a little underspecified ... I think this should probably include 
"using metrics and policy carried within the RIFT control plane." You can 
always hijack a path using PCEP or something else, so the requirement, as 
stated, just feels a little "weak."

"very light" might be better as "minimal?" It would be nice to have something 
with a more definite meaning here, but I’m not certain what.

In terms of carrying reachability for, or in terms of running on top of? Two 
different things.
