Greetings,

I reviewed this draft on behalf of the OPS directorate for operational
considerations.

I think this draft is largely ready to go. Toerless had some comments during
last call against draft-07 which are worthy of inclusion. In particular, The
distinction between BSR (rfc 5059) although pointed out in the introduction is
important enough that it should be captured in the title.

From my general understanding of the mechanism  there are  probably limitations
to how well ti apprach scales which limits it's applicability to large pim
domains. The experimental status is therefore quite appropriate. It represents
significant improvement over dense mode pim so in the sense that it offers the
opportunity for significantly lower coordination/signaling requirements without
the destructive nature of flooding and then pruning the source traffic. it is
quite appropriate to proceed to experimental status. When we move on from that
I would be willing to bet that applicability will need to be refined
accordingly.
