Black Review Date: Feb 16, 2014 IETF LC End Date: Feb 24, 2014 Summary: This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should be fixed before publication. This draft describes multicast support for proxy mobile IPv6. It assumes significant understanding of multicast and specifically the PIM-SM protocol. Nits/editorial comments: -- Introduction, 3rd paragraph Remove the word business from the following text, please: Such approaches (partially) follow the business model of providing multicast data services in parallel to PMIPv6 unicast routing [I-D.ietf-multimob-handover-optimization]. -- 4.3.1 The fact that PIM-SM has three phases could be made somewhat clearer here. Suggestion: OLD The granularity of mobility-related routing locators required in PIM depends on the complexity (phases) of its deployment. The following information is needed for all three phases of PIM as defined in [RFC4601]. NEW The granularity of mobility-related routing locators required in PIM depends on the complexity (specific phase) of its deployment. For all three phases of PIM deployment (see [RFC4601]), the following information is needed. Also, is "deployment" the right word to describe the phases? It implies that not all of the phases need to be present in an implementation or used, even if applicable. -- 4.3.2 - 4.3.4 I would also suggest including the names of the phases from RFC 4601 in these section titles, e.g.: 4.3.2. Operations of PIM in Phase One (RP Tree) -- idnits idnits 2.13.01 found an unused reference and a couple of drafts that have been updated: == Unused Reference: 'RFC2236' is defined on line 1047, but no explicit reference was found in the text == Outdated reference: A later version (-02) exists of draft-ietf-multimob-fmipv6-pfmipv6-multicast-01 == Outdated reference: A later version (-07) exists of draft-ietf-multimob-handover-optimization-06 Thanks, --David ---------------------------------------------------- David L.
