I have one higher level comment (or question) on the draft: how should this be reliable? Specifically, what if the STATELESS RECONFIGURE message is lost for some of the clients that would need it? The original (stateful) RECONFIGURE addresses the issue by resending it until the subsequent Renew (or Information-request) message is received by the server, but we cannot use the same approach since the server doesn't know the full set of the expected clients. I also have some specific comments: - In Section 1, I suggest referring to RFC 4242 and explaining that this proposal tries to fill some gap that the RFC still doesn't address. - In Section 4.1, the draft states: Notes: since there is no previous Relay-Forward message that went through multiple relay agents and the server has to send the Relay- Reply message through the return same path, the server should be able to send the Relay-Reply message to the relay agent that direct connects with clients. First off, this sentence is grammatically awkward. But I think I understand what it tried to say. And, on top of that understanding, I don't think this is necessarily correct. I think it's still possible that a client sends an Information-request message through multiple relay agents, and if the assumption is to manually configure the addresses of relay agents (as described in Section 3), it should be possible to configure it with the information of nesting. It's a different question whether such an operation is recommended, but I think it's at least possible in principle. - On question No.4 in Section 4.3, my personal take is to at least define it in the specification. I think that's the general practice for parameters like this. If we see the need for varying it, we may want to just define it as the default value and allow the server to tell the clients to use a different value (using a new option or something), but right now I don't know if we need such flexibility. -- JINMEI, Tatuya
