RFC8287 proposes 3 Target FEC Stack Sub-TLVs. While the standard defines the format and procedure to handle those Sub-TLVs, it does not sufficiently clarify how the length of the Segment ID Sub-TLVs should be computed to include in the Length field of the Sub-TLVs which may result in interoperability @@ -89,23 +89,24 @@ 2.

Length field clarification for Segment ID Sub-TLVs Section 5 of [RFC8287] defines 3 different Segment ID Sub-TLVs that will be included in Target FEC Stack TLV defined in [RFC8029]. The length of each Sub-TLVs MUST be calculated as defined in this section. The TLVs representation defined in section 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of [RFC8287] are updated to clarify the length calculation as shown in
