The document is generally well structured and appears consistent with common
YANG data model RFC practice. The Security Considerations section follows the
usual pattern by referencing NETCONF/RESTCONF secure transports, NACM, writable
nodes, readable nodes, and notifications.

One minor security comment is that the readable-node discussion could more
explicitly say that exposure of mLDP roots, peers, FEC-label bindings, RDs, and
multicast group information may reveal topology and service information. The
notification text already mentions rate limiting, which is good; it may be
useful to mention that excessive mLDP FEC-event notifications could also create
operational load.

Nits:
“copytight” should be “copyright”;
“Operatiobal” should be “Operational”;
“exchnaged” should be “exchanged”;
“yang” should be consistently capitalized as “YANG.”;

Best Regards,
