Document: draft-ietf-mpls-lc-if-mib-06.txt Reviewer: Joel M. Halpern [joel@stevecrocker.com] Review Date: Saturday 9/10/2005 8:59 PM Telechat Date: Thursday 9/15/2005 Summary: This document is close to ready for publication as a Proposed Standard. If the question below is that there is no substantive missing text, then the issues below need to be addressed. However, if substantive text is missing, then that needs to be examined to see if it answers the issues. Review: -------- Question: Did some text disappear in editing? There is the odd trailing text in section 2? There is the absence of the usual section describing the structure / functioning of the MIB. And there is the fact that section 4 references sections 6 and 7 when the correct reference is sections 5 and 6? It is possible that the section two text is vestigial, and that the section 4 text needs correcting. But the absence of the usual structural description makes me wonder if something is simply missing? Issue: There is no explanation of the fields for describing the usage of the mplsLcAtmStdUnlabTrafVpi and mplsLcAtmStdUnlabTrafVci. RFC 3035 indicates that ranges need to be partiitioned. Obviously, this document is making some assumption about that partioning. However, the combination of field descriptions in the MIB is insufficient to allow this reader to understand the intent. Issue: The text for mplsLcAtmVcDirectlyConnected and mplsLcAtmLcAtmVPI seems to assume that indirectly connected LC-ATM switches will always be connected by only one VP. That is not required by 3035, and does not seem a necessary assumption. It may be explained in the missing text. Issue: RFC 3034 calls out support for devices which support both labelled and unlabelled traffic on separated DLCIs. Unlike the ATM tables earlier in the document, the FR tables do not have provision for indicating which DLCI ranges are supporting which mode. Is there an assumption that the ranges here are for labelled traffic, and that some other MIB identifies the ranges for labelled traffic. Minor / Editorial: The "label switching controlled Frame Relay) referenced in the first part of the introduction is the same as the LC-FR in the latter part of the introduction. Similarly for the ATM interface and LC-ATM. Could a parenthetical (LC-FR) and (LC-ATM) be inserted between the full term and the RFC references? (I know this is spelled out in the terminology. The earlier insertion seems a good idea to meet the guideline of presenting an acronym before using it.) Minor: Section 2, after the last period, has the text "Specifically," for no apparent reason. Minor: An OID is reserved for LC ATM Notications, but none are defined. Is it usually to reserve the OID in that case? The same question applies to the LC FR Notifications OID as well. Nit: idnits reports that some (10) of the pages are 1 line too long (59 instead of 58) ?
