Small comment on draft-ietf-v6ops-cpe-simple-security
I'm sure the idea of repeating recommendations in the "Summary of
Recommendations" section will be sort of controversial at some point,
however, I would really like to encourage you to add the summary as
you have it in the draft now. I have had much better luck getting
things like this adopted in products from folks like Linksys and
Netgear when I could hand a product manager a page of requirements
that they could cut and paste into their product requirements
specifications. If this is summary of recommendation contains all the
normative language you need, I think it really helps make it easier
to get the vendors to adopt this. Unlike much of the equipment that
implements IETF protocols, the types of devices you are describing
here are often contracted out using an ODM model and being able to
express requirements like this makes it easier to include them.
I suspect we don't have a lot of product manager for the types of
devices we are talking about participating in this WG but if this
document makes their life easy, that would be good.
I'm not sure what to say about multicast but I'm sure that advice
would be useful.
