I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These comments
were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors. Document
editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call
comments.

From a security perspective I think the document is ready.  I think the
document could be cleaned up a little to make reading a little bit easier.

The document discusses a new pseudo wire redundancy mode.  I did not find the
document particularly clear, it would probably help to expand all the acronyms
on first use.   The document only refers to several other documents for its
security considerations.  While this is often not the favored approach in this
case it seems to be OK as best as I can tell.  The document doesn't appear to
be defining anything fundamentally new that would change the considerations in
the referenced documents or require special attention.

Cheers,

Joe
