Reviewer: Mirja Kühlewind Review result: Ready This document has been reviewed as part of the transport area review team's ongoing effort to review key IETF documents. These comments were written primarily for the transport area directors, but are copied to the document's authors and WG to allow them to address any issues raised and also to the IETF discussion list for information. When done at the time of IETF Last Call, the authors should consider this review as part of the last-call comments they receive. Please always CC tsv-art@xxxxxxxx if you reply to or forward this review. Thanks for the well-written document! This is good to go, I only have some optional suggestions below: In section 4.1.2. you could potentially also mention draft-ietf-tcpm-generalized-ecn as connections with small windows might especially benefit when the ACK is also ECN-capable. In section 4.2.1: "In that case, both congestion and flow control implementation are quite simple." I guess this is even an understatement. Basically this would be a static configuration and there is nothing left to "control". In section 4.2.3: "Disabling Delayed ACKs at the sender allows an immediate ACK for the data segment carrying the response." I guess you can in addition, however, explain that keeping the delayed ACK could help to piggy-back the ACK with maybe some additional data to send instead of sending the ACK in a separate TCP packet (of course depending on the traffic pattern of the application). I think this is roughly mentioned later again but seems to belong her as well. Section 4.3.1.1: is this sentence correct? It least it did confuse me a bit when reading first: “A receiver supporting SACK will need to keep track of the SACK blocks that need to be received.” Maybe “A receiver supporting SACK will need to keep track of the data blocks that need to be received.” ? Section 4.3.2: Maybe s/it may make sense to use a small timeout/it may make sense to use a smaller timeout/ or s/it may make sense to use a small timeout/it may make sense to use a very small timeout/ ? Section 4.3.3: “with an IW setting of 10 MSS, there is significant buffer overflow risk” I think it would be good to explain slightly better which buffer you mean. Is there an assumption that network buffer sizes are known in CNNs as managed by the same entity than the constraint devices? Maybe the recommendation should be to make this parameter configurable? I guess most stacks provide an option for this but not sure if all do… Section 6: maybe provide a reference to RFC8446 TLS1.3..? Also section 6: You mention TCP-OA but you don’t give a really recommendation if or when it should be used or not. I assume section 8 is intended to be kept for publication. I support that as it’s interesting information. -- last-call mailing list last-call@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/last-call
