Gen-ART review of draft-eastlake-rfc5342bis-04

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The -04 version of this draft resolves the typo/thinko that snuck into
the -03 version, and fixed a number of related instances of that problem
that I missed in that review.

The -04 version of this draft is ready for publication as a BCP RFC.

Thanks,
--David

> >
> > This draft updates the IANA registered Ethernet parameters for IETF use,

> > IANA should review this entire draft, not just its IANA Considerations

> > Pearl Liang appears to have done that comprehensive review for IANA.

> > Major issues: None
> >
> > Minor issues: One, the IANA review also found this issue.

> > Section 3.2 states:
> >
> > 	IANA will assign "00-00-0E-00-42" as the protocol number under the
> > 	IANA OUI to be used for documentation purposes.

> > IANA has not made this assignment, but this assignment request is not
