- the mechanism -> the mechanisms - It is assumed in the description that follows that all routers in the routing domain are oFIB capable. This can be verified in an operation network by the routers reporting oFIB capability using the IGP in use. Where non-oFIB capable routers exist in the network, normal convergence would be used. I guess you mean Where non-oFIB capable routers exist in the network, normal convergence would be used in all routers. Otherwise, it contradicts the first sentence

Please see my comment on draft-ietf-rtgwg-ipfrr-notvia-addresses. It applies equally to this document.

I am balloting No Objection based on my unenlightened read and the support of the Sponsoring AD.

It seems interesting, but I'm confused why if it works so well in simulations, that nobody seems interested in going further with this. What's the value of an IETF RFC versus other types of publication, given that there's IPR attached to this as an Informational document? It's clearly informative, but I get the feeling that there's more information that must not be clear in the writing at the moment about what the ultimate goal is.
