Some additional questions:
The draft say “The contents of a multi-part TLV MUST be processed as if they were concatenated. If the internals of the TLV contain key information, then replication of the key information should be taken to indicate that subsequent data MUST be processed as if the subsequent data were concatenated after a single copy of the key information.” 1) How to deal with the TLV that has no key information? 2) And, to support multi-part TLV, the key information (if the TLV has such information) for each applied TLV must also be standardized, or else, there will be error. The draft wants to just avoid to tackle such issues(as stated in draft “Having inconsistent information in different parts of a MP-TLV is an error and is out of scope for this document.), but it should be the MUST part of the solution. Or else, how to assure the interoperability?

The draft just enumerate the requirements of MP-TLV support for relevant TLVs, it is not the general solution to the issue. There is no practical way in the draft to assure the current and future implementation conforms to the newly defined explicit requirements, because the MP-TLV Support sub-TLV is not per-TLV basis, and as stated in the draft, one implementation declares support “MP-TLV” can’t assure it supports all relevant TLVs. ------“It is understood that in reality, a given implementation might limit MP-TLV support to particular TLVs based on the needs of the deployment scenarios in which it is used”-----Will there be many interoperability issues arises then? And also varies loop accidents within the network when all of vendors declare they support “MP-TLV” but not all of the relevant TLVs?
