Summary: Almost ready for PS.  I noticed at a late stage in the last 


call reviewing process that the requirement that the hop before a 


loopback node should be a strict hop was unnecessary.  The draft editor, 


Dong Jie, has agreed that this is the case and is checking that the 


removal of this constraint is acceptable to the other authors.  There is 


one other outstanding fix agreed for a nit. Otherwise all my last call 


comments have been cleared.  Thanks.




Major issues:
None

Minor issues:
s3.2, para 2, et seq:


The requirement that the hop before the loopback entity MUST be a strict 


hop is unnecessary.  The essential constraint (which is fully specified 


in the -04 draft) is that the entity at which loopback is to occur has 


to be uniquely identified (i.e., it can't be an 'abstract node' 


signifying (potentially) a group of nodes, such as an AS).  I have 


discussed this with Dong Jie, as editor, and he has agreed that the 


constraint is not needed.  A new version of the draft removing the 


constraint is in hand, pending agreement with the other authors and 


checking with the WG.




Nits/editorial comments:

s3.2, para 3:
OLD :

   Currently, the type value MUST be verified to be
   less than 32, and for type values 1 and 2, the prefix length MUST be
   32 and 128 respectively.

NEW:
   Currently, the type value MUST be verified to be


   less than 32 (i.e., able to identify a specific entity where a 


loopback can


   occur, see Section 4.3), and for type values 1 (IPv4 address) and 2 


(IPv6



   address), the prefix length MUST be 32 and 128 respectively.
