Comments 
BGP Dir Needs a careful state machine review with BGP State machine and BFD state machiine. 

Security needs thoughts about attacks based on state machine. 

OPS Dir needs a review of changes for operational issues - especially combinations of BGP peers with BGP peres, BFD, and graceful restart.

Hi,

I have been selected as the Operational Directorate (opsdir) reviewer for this
Internet-Draft.

I have sent the authors an email with questions:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/idr/SnbzUXxYlOHt_Qnzn9yWKjOPCRw/

These questions need to be answered before detailed comments. I'm willing to do
another round of review after these clarifications are made.

Thanks,
Yingzhen
