Dear Authors, et. al,
I think that issue of cooperative and coordinate measurement in multi-administrative domain case is very interesting and practical problem needed to be addressed for LMAP and in general. It may be interesting, for comparison, to look at multi-PCE scenario and its cooperative solution to compute multi-domain path.
Please find my notes below:

  *   In Section 2, Terminology, definitions of Collector and Controller appear to be swapped;
  *   can a regulator require provider to have some minimal MA coverage as function of its access network coverage thus ensuring availability of some LMAP infrastructure and ability to do measurements that would be comparable across different administrative domains?
  *   what STB stands for, may be added to Terminology section;

  *   figures probably need to be more graphical;
  *   can we assume that one of Controllers is the Initiator and thus Initiator-Controller is in fact Controller-Controller coordination?
  *   similarly to previous question, if one of Collectors is the Reporter, then Reporter-Collector would be Collector-Collector coordination.
Regards,
Greg
