Hi,

I have reviewed this document as part of the Operational directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These
comments were written with the intent of improving the operational
 aspects of the IETF drafts. Comments that are not addressed in last call may
 be included in AD reviews during the IESG review.  Document editors and WG
 chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments.



This document updates RFC RFCs 6513 and 6514 and add additional details to
clarify the use of Ingress Replication tunnels in Multicast VPN that is not
clear
 in the RFC6513 and RFC6514. It doesn

’

t introduce any protocol extension or new procedure.



I think this document is ready for publication. Here are a few editorial
comments:

1.



Section 2, Paragraph 8 said:

“

Since data traveling along an IR P-tunnel is always unicast from

   parent node to child node, it can be convenient to think of an IR

   P-tunnel as a P2MP tree whose arcs are unicast tunnels.

”



What

“

arcs

”

 means in this sentence?



2.



Section 2, last paragraph

Provide reference to Inclusive P-tunnels and Selective P

–

tunnels.



3.



Section 6, last paragraph:

It looks this paragraph is the consequence of the previous paragraph, but I don

’

t
 see how duplication prevention mechanism is related to determine the packet's
 ingress PE based on IR P-tunnel label.



4.



Section 7.1, paragraph 4:

This section also discuss the procedure of RFC6513 section 9.1.1

“

Discard Packet from Wrong PE

”

,
 I am wondering how this part is related to Section 6

“

A Note on IR P-tunnels and 'Discarding
 Packets from the Wrong PE'

”



5.



Section 7.2, paragraph 1 said:

“

Each intermediate node is a leaf node of an "upstream

segment" and a parent node of one or more "downstream segments".

“

s/leaf node/child node

6.



Section 9, last paragraph:

s/I.e.,/i.e.,

7.



Section 1

Would it be good to remove the last sentence in paragraph 8,9,10 since
paragraph 11,12 and 13 have clarified what additional details this document add
to RFC6513
 and RFC6514, keeping the last sentence in the paragraph 8,9,10 looks verbose
 and tedious, in my personal opinion.
