Re: Rogue RA WGLC



So I understand your comment as less than supportive of the document. In what ways do you believe it needs to change?

	Hello,

As promised, here is my review.

I am a bit concerned that the document seems (at least in certain places) to focus solely on getting an incorrect default gateway. Rogue RAs cause hosts to assume wrong prefixes for their SLAAC addresses. In case of mixing "good" and "bad" RAs, the host might keep on using the "good" default gateway, but pick a wrong source address. This is highly likely to break, due to ingress
filtering or lack of return routability.

Because of this, I am even more suspicious about the usefulness of the DHCPv6
solution than the authors are.

Last, please s/Courmant/Courmont/ :)

We are looking specifically for comments on the importance of the
document as well as its content. If you have read the document and
believe it to be of operational utility, that is also an important
comment to make.
