<WG Chair Hat OFF>

A few comments regarding this draft:

1. Please make sure to look at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dhc-option-guidelines. This document is being adopted by the DHC WG and is critical to follow.

2. While it may cost a few octets, I would strongly encourage you to use separate fields for some items (such as C_K and DM_K). This will cost you one octet but keeps the encoding simpler (flags, C_K, and DM_K octets).

3. The new data type (Unsigned Short Floating Point) will likely delay implementation in some servers (or require 'manual' encoding). If it is critical that this be used (instead of a more traditional data type), so be it.

4. As stated in draft-ietf-dhc-option-guidelines, this document does specify that multiple instances are allowed (see draft-ietf-dhc-option-guidelines-13, section 16). However, it makes no statement as to whether the order is significant and that is covered in draft-ietf-dhc-option-guidelines-13, section 17 (there should be no IMPLICIT or EXPLICIT ordering with multiple options).

5. You might document the possible length of the options as there seems to be only two choices - X and X+16 (if C=1). Is C even necessary? Could the option length (i.e., if MPL domain address is present) be used to determine this? (It avoids having to test the length if C=1 to make sure it is correct.)

6. I can say nothing about the utility of this option and whether the data contained therein is appropriate as I am not an MPL expert - we would defer to the ROLL WG in these regards.

Dear dhc folks,

Just FYI, here is a proposed individual I-D proposed to roll WG. I believe it does not make any harm to current DHCP infrastructure because this is another stateless option to distribute data among nodes. It's still in early stage and will be updated to satisfy the option guideline document.

Any feedbacks are welcome.

Regards,

Yusuke

Dear roll folks,

I (and Matt Gillmore) have a proposal to make MPL configuration over DHCP option. I'm on the IETF meeting so I really appriciate if anyone can take a quick review on it and/or have F2F discussion.

We're thinking of thousands of nodes under a LLNs. And we identified configuration of MPL parameters is one of missing pieces for manageable large scale LLN.

Regards,

Yusuke
