Document: draft-ietf-6man-sids-03 Reviewer: Reese Enghardt Review Date: 2023-10-26 IETF LC End Date: 2023-10-27 IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat Summary: The document is almost ready for publication as an Informational RFC, pending some clarifications in the IANA Considerations and some text tweaks. Major issues: None. Minor issues: Abstract: The abstract does not mention that the document allocates a Global Unicast Prefix for SIDs, which seems like a major contribution of this document. I suggest mentioning this contribution in the abstract. Section 1: "SR segment endpoint nodes process a local segment present the Destination Address of an IPv6 header." I have a hard time parsing this phrase, and I think adding a preposition or an "-ing" somewhere would make it easier. Is this "SR segment endpoint nodes processing a local segment present the Destination Address of an IPv6 header." or "SR segment endpoint nodes process a local segment which presents the Destination Address of an IPv6 header." or something else? Section 3: Are all SIDs IPv6 addresses? This section sounds like it implies that they are, while the abstract says that they merely "resemble" IPv6 addresses. I suggest clarifying this point in the document. "Such a SID is assigned to a node within a prefix defined as a Locator of length L." Does "Such a SID" refer to the previous sentence, which talks about SIDs with L+F+A < 128? If not, what is meant by "Such a SID"? IANA Considerations: This document asks IANA to allocate a Global Unicast Prefix for SIDs. According to Section 5.1 of RFC 5226, I suggest that this document explicitly identify the namespace in which a value is to be allocated - The "Internet Protocol Version 6 Address Space" registry has multiple prefixes marked as "Reserved by IETF". According to RFC 3513, I assume this will be under the 1000::/4 prefix, but I may be missing context here. Nits/editorial comments: Section 3: "Please note that [BCP198] does not override the rules in [RFC4291], but merely limits where their impact is observed" Missing full stop at the end. -- last-call mailing list last-call@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/last-call
