WGLC comments on draft-ietf-multi6-architecture-02.txt
Geoff,
I support this draft going forward, I have a couple of issues, some questions
but mostly nits.
thanks,
John
Issues:
======
1) This document would benefit from a terminology section. Perhaps a reference
to the Terminology section in RFC3582 as well. Terminology to include would be
"session resilience"; add ULP, LLP and EIP; as well as others.
2) Section 5.3.1 - Triggering Locator Switches. Inserting an information reference
to http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-iab-link-indications-00.txt could
be useful. It seems to me that a crucial part of any multihoming solution will
be the triggering of a multihoming event. I don't think we need to explicitly
list all of the potential triggers, but let the astute reader catch-up on some
related work.
Questions:
=========
1) Section 4.3:
"The intent of multi-homing in the IPv6 domain is to achieve a
comparable functional outcome for multi-homed sites without an
associated additional load being imposed on the routing system."
This sentence seems incomplete, a comparable functional outcome
as compared to what?
2) 1st line, page 8:
"In addition to this objective of session resilience across network
reachability changes," ...
I had a hard time parsing this at first, perhaps the coffee didn't
kick in. Is it:
"In addition to this objective of session resilience across network
reachability changes," ...
or
"In addition to this objective of session resilience during network
reachability changes," ...
or
"In addition to this objective of session resilience in spite of network
reachability changes," ...
Nits:
====
1) Spacing problem, but this seems to be a Secretariat problem.
2) Page 6:
"The environment of multi-homing is one that is intended to provide
sufficient support to local hosts so as to allow local hosts to
exchange IP packets with remote hosts, such that this exchange of
packets is to be seamlessly supported across dynamic changes in
connectivity."
Change 'seamlessly' to another term, perhaps 'transparently'? Seamlessly
has a lot of mobility baggage, so it might be good to avoid that term.
3) Expand first usage of ULP in section 4.2.
4) Section 4.3 (and others) "vs" should be "vs."
5) Section 5.3.1 - adding a new line before each bullet would increase readability.
6) "5.3.5 Dynamic Capability Negotiation
The common aspect of these approaches is that they all involve
changes to the end-to-end interaction, as both endS of the"
endS -> ends
7) Section 6 - insert a blank line between questions; otherwise it is somewhat
awkward to read.
