Hello, I have been selected to do a routing directorate "early" review of this draft. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lisp-name-encoding/ The routing directorate will, on request from the working group chair, perform an "early" review of a draft before it is submitted for publication to the IESG. The early review can be performed at any time during the draft’s lifetime as a working group document. The purpose of the early review depends on the stage that the document has reached. As this document is in working group last call, my focus for the review was to determine whether the document is ready to be published. Please consider my comments along with the other working group last call comments. For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see ​http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir Document: draft-ietf-lisp-name-encoding-00 Reviewer: Christian Hopps Review Date: October 25, 2022 Intended Status: Experimental Summary: No issues found. This documents is ready to proceed to the IESG. Comments: The document is well written and easy to understand. Personally, I would have gone with a length value for performance and implementation simplicity; however, seeing as this document has already been around and reviewed for a while (and I believe from reading the mailing list, it's already deployed), and more importantly the WG (the experts in LISP) have had this point brought up and are happy with the existing solution, I see no reason to push back against it. Thanks, Chris.
