Suresh Krishnan has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-dime-rfc4006bis-08: Discuss When responding, please keep the subject line intact and reply to all email addresses included in the To and CC lines. (Feel free to cut this introductory paragraph, however.) Please refer to https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/discuss-criteria.html for more information about IESG DISCUSS and COMMENT positions. The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dime-rfc4006bis/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCUSS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 8.38. RFC5952 contains significant changes in text representation from RFC3513 and I am concerned that there might be RFC4006 compliant implementations that will no longer be legal with a MUST level use of RFC5952. e.g. Addresses with upper case hex digits, with leading zeroes in 16 bit fields etc. Has the working group considered this break in compatibility already in its discussions? If it has, this text should still be finessed a bit because RFC5952 recommendations (even at the MUST level) are a SHOULD for senders with the receivers being required to handle all possible legal formats as per RFC4291. So at least the sender rules and receiver rules need to be written differently. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 8.65 Any reason you are allowing encoding an IPv4 address as a IPv4-Mapped IPv6 Address while you can directly use address family 1 to encode it directly as an IPv4 address? This allows for two different encodings for the same address.
