Hi Susan, Thanks a lot for your review, sorry for the delayed response! We've just submitted -10 which shall have your comments addresses. However I'd like to confirm with you two changes we made, to make sure they address your concerns. See below.

This section does not clearly define it. You are right, we use it as an intuitive term, when in the model 'client-server' the upstream interface is facing the server, and interfaces the client is extending the connectivity to are considered downstream. However in this particular section it's not important to use the word 'downstream' so we rephrase the text to avoid it. New version: "The host MUST NOT forward packets with destination addresses within a delegated prefix to the interface that it obtained the prefix on, as this will cause a routing loop. This problem will not occur if the host has assigned the prefix to another interface. Another way the host can prevent this problem is to add to its routing table a high-metric discard route for the delegated prefix. " Does the new text address your concern? > 3.

If the authors > can think of another way to state this sub-bullet, it would be helpful. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what the problem is with the text, so I'm not sure how to fix it. We rephrased it to: "When a prefix's Preferred Lifetime becomes zero, either because the Preferred Lifetime expires or because the host receives a PIO for the prefix with a zero Preferred Lifetime, the prefix MUST be removed from the list." Is it better? -- Cheers, Jen Linkova -- last-call mailing list -- last-call@xxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to last-call-leave@xxxxxxxx
