Document: draft-ietf-teas-rsvp-te-domain-subobjects-03.txt Reviewer: Brian Carpenter Review Date: 2015-11-07 IETF LC End Date: 2015-11-09 IESG Telechat date: Summary: Ready with issues -------- Comment: -------- Needs to be approved along with draft-ietf-pce-pcep-domain-sequence. Major Issues: ------------- > 3.2.1.

It seems like a major defect in RFC 3209 that needs to be fixed on the standards track as soon as possible, independently of the present draft. Minor Issues: ------------- It would be nice to see a suggested timescale for the experiment in section 1.1. How many years before this document should be evaluated?
