Dear Authors, Thank you for your work on this document. I wholeheartedly agree with your view that adding Operational Considerations to an IETF document will help in the deployment of the specified mechanism. I found the document well-written and easy to read. The concern I have is with the assertion of the relationship between the scopes of Operation and Management, Operation, Administration, and Maintenance, expressed in the Terminology section as: The broader concept of "operations and management" that is the subject of this document encompasses OAM, in addition to other management and provisioning tools and concepts. Can you reference a document that discusses that relationship? It seems that RFC 6291 avoided discussing this issue. In your opinion, what is the value of that assertion to the document? Regards, Greg
