Section 1 - Agnostic to tunneling capabilities #35

Comment from Keyur Patel's review

1) Section 1.

The mechanisms defined in this document are agnostic to the tunneling technologies. These can be applied homogeneously to intra-domain tunneling technologies used in brownfield networks as well as greenfield networks. E.g. MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) or Segment Routing (SR)). #Keyur: SRv6 is not supported. GRE and Vxlan not support so really not agnostic to tunneling. Can we replace agnostic?

A suggestion for text change for paragraph 6 in section 1 that starts "The mechanisms defined"

Old text/E.g. MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) or Segment Routing (SR)/

New text/For clarity, only some examples of tunneling capability are given within this document.
For example, MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) examples are described in this text. Other tunneling technologies have been described in detail in other documents and overview has been included in the text. For example, the details for Segment Routing (SRv6) are provided in [BGP-CT-SRv6], and an overview of that document is provided in section 7.13. /

Jie's comment on the same point

  1. Introduction “The mechanisms defined in this document are agnostic to the tunneling technologies. These can be applied homogeneously to intra-domain tunneling technologies used in brownfield networks as well as greenfield networks. E.g. MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) or Segment Routing (SR)).”

Jie: The brownfield and greenfield description depends on the time and the technology used in the network first, thus may not be accurate in all cases. Suggest to remove brownfield and greenfield here.

clarified text:

"The mechanisms defined in this document allow different tunneling technologies to become Transport Class aware. These can be applied homogeneously to intra-domain tunneling technologies used in brownfield networks as well as greenfield networks. For clarity, only some tunneling technologies are detailed in this document. For example, MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) examples are described.
