I have reviewed this draft.  Overall, it is clear and provides a useful description.  I support advancing this document.

I do have some minor comments which I would appreciate being considered.

Section 4.3 on the SD-WAN Tunnel Originator Sub-TLV indicates that this may be used to influence policy routing or security policy.  This seems to introduce its own threat vector not considered by the Threat analysis in section 9.1.  It may be that the intention is to use this to allow the custoemr to specify what treatment the want, albeit indirectly?  Or it may be that the assumption is that if the customer lies in this field, they will only hurt themselves?  Or that such lies will be detected and penalized by other systems?  Whatever the assumption is, it should be spelled out.

I see a disconnect between sections 7.1 and 7.2.  I suspect that the disconnect is due to a descriptive gap, not a technical flaw. Section 7.1 talks about using iBGP to coordinate information among the various CPE.   Section 7.2 then talks about using eBGP to coordinate between the CPE  and the Cloud gateway.  That seems to mean that the iBGP sessions are running over scope subject to eBGP.  I am guessing that the assumption is that iBGP is expected to be tunneled over the paths controlled by eBGP.  But the text doesn't say that.

Yours,

Joel
