Hi Roni,

I think we wrote this part some time ago...So what about the following:


"an example of change policy is to change the MAC address of the OCB interface each time the system boots up"

Thanks,

The only comment left is:


2. In section 5.2 "The policy dictating when the MAC address is changed on the
802.11-OCB interface is to-be-determined.". Reading the next sentence it looks
to me that this is needed as part of the solution and should not be left for
the unknown future.

 

Should we reformulate here?

 

I was expecting some recommendation since the changing of MAC address is important to address privacy issues (discussed in section 5). Currently it is left open with no recommendation , only saying that dynamic change of MAC address is needed.

Maybe the document should have some normative language for example in section 5.1 that will say that IP-OBU MUST dynamic change their MAC addresses  

 

Did the document go through security area review?

Document: draft-ietf-ipwave-ipv6-over-80211ocb-??
Reviewer: Roni Even
Review Date: 2019-06-16
IETF LC End Date: 2019-06-26
IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat

Summary:
The document is almost ready for publication as a standard track RFC

Major issues:

Minor issues:

1. Section 4.2  says "IP packets MUST be transmitted over 802.11-OCB media as
QoS Data" while appendix F say "The STA may send data frames of subtype Data,
Null, QoS Data, and
      QoS Null.

 

I will update the appendix to reflect the text in section 4.2.


2. In section 5.2 "The policy dictating when the MAC address is changed on the
802.11-OCB interface is to-be-determined.". Reading the next sentence it looks
to me that this is needed as part of the solution and should not be left for
the unknown future.

 

Should we reformulate here?


3. In Appendix I 4th paragraph " However, this does not apply if TBD TBD TBD. "
... What are the TBDs?

 

The whole sentence will be removed.


Nits/editorial comments:
1. In appendix I last paragraph "Support of RFC 8505 is may be implemented on
OCB." should be "Support of RFC 8505 may be implemented on OCB." 2. In Appendix
I "OCB nodes that support RFC 8505 would support the 6LN operation in order to
act as a host".  I think that instead of "would" it should be "should"  also if
this is a recommendation why not have this paragraph not in an appendix with
"MAY" and "SHOULD

 

 

Agreed.
