Document: drat-ietf-ieprep-domain-frame-05.txt Reviewer: Joel M. Halpern [joel@stevecrocker.com] Review Date: Friday 11/25/2005 4:34 PM CST Telechat Date: Thursday 12/01/2005 Summary: This document is is nearly ready for publication as an Informational RFC. Over all, this is quite readable and covers a lot of ground. Moderate: Describing MPLS as a routing protocol seems wrong in at least two regards: 1) MPLS control can be described as a path placement protocol. But is not what we usually describe as a routing protocol. 2) The MPLS data plane which is necessary for the ETS work and which is described by the paragraph is a packet forwarding behavior, not a routing protocol. Minor: The document would be helped by an early explicit definition of "administrative domain". While this is actually included in [REQ], it would be helpful if it was in this document, as the concept is so central to the work. Minor: IdNits indicates part of the 3978 / 3979 material is missing. References: This document can not be understood with reference [REQ], and therefore that reference should be normative.
