All,

I volunteered to review this draft. Please find comments below.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-papneja-bgp-basic-dp-convergence-01

1)    It is worth separating the FIB convergence from RIB convergence; the FIB is shared by multiple routing protocols like BGP/ISIS/OSPF etc.

2)    Section 5.1.1 RIB-IN convergence

a.    Item H) - "FIB convergence time" - this needs need to be verified for each IP address belonging to a prefix since we cannot make any assumptions on the underlying HW implementation which could be TCAM, M-Trie etc.

3)    The above comment applies for all the locations where  "FIB convergence time" in discussed

4)    BGP has novel use cases as below - is there a plan to address these as we proceed ?

a.    BGP in data centers
