Hello,

I have been selected as the Routing Directorate reviewer for this draft. The
Routing Directorate seeks to review all routing or routing-related drafts as
they pass through IETF last call and IESG review, and sometimes on special
request. The purpose of the review is to provide assistance to the Routing ADs.
For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see ​

http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir

Although these comments are primarily for the use of the Routing ADs, it would
be helpful if you could consider them along with any other IETF Last Call
comments that you receive, and strive to resolve them through discussion or by
updating the draft.

Document: draft-ietf-trill-rfc7180bis-04
Reviewer: Russ White
Review Date: 10 April 2015
Intended Status: Proposed Standard

Summary:

This document is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should be
considered prior to publication-- (I found one very minor nit, see below).

Comments:

This document is difficult to understand, as it modifies several other
documents that must be examined in parallel to understand the modifications
being made. However, given that the TRILL documents are complex on their own,
and this document "sweeps up" various changes across multiple documents while
replacing another document, it is readable and serves the purpose for which it
is intended well. Overall, this document is complex but readable; someone who
understands a TRILL implementation should find it fairly navigable.

I did check the IANA registries, references, and modifications proposed in this
document; I could find no problems with the references, modifications, or
registry information as described in the document.

Major Issues:

No major issues found.

Minor Issues:

No minor issues found.

Nits:

10. TRILL Header Update (New)
The TRILL header has been updated from its original specification in
[RFC6325] by [RFC7455] and [RFC7179] and is further updated by this
document. The TRILL header is now as show in the figure below which
is followed by references for all of the fields.
