The Abstract isn't supposed to contain references. 2. It is helpful to indicate a suggested forum for discussion (the Abstract is a good place) 3. Numeric references are deprecated http://www.rfc-editor.org/pipermail/rfc-interest/2005-January/000235.html 4. The introduction refers to an architecture document, reference #25: [25] Moskowitz, R., "Host Identity Protocol Architecture", draft-moskowitz-hip-arch-03 (work in progress), May 2003. Given the date, I strongly suspected expiration; I checked the I-D database: https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/idindex.cgi?command=id_detail&id=4950 which shows a -06 version as the latest, also expired, and therefore no link to retrieve the document. Dead End. 5. Appendices (the draft's contain reference citations) should appear before the Normative/Informative references. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
