Reviewer: Stewart Bryant Review result: Ready with Nits I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for this draft. The General Area Review Team (Gen-ART) reviews all IETF documents being processed by the IESG for the IETF Chair. Please treat these comments just like any other last call comments. For more information, please see the FAQ at <https://trac.ietf.org/trac/gen/wiki/GenArtfaq>. Document: draft-ietf-tsvwg-tinymt32-01 Reviewer: Stewart Bryant Review Date: 2019-05-08 IETF LC End Date: 2019-05-13 IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat Summary: A well written document. There are a few review comments below that the authors should consider. Major issues: None Minor issues: According to statistical tests (BigCrush in TestU01 <http://simul.iro.umontreal.ca/testu01/tu01.html> and AdaptiveCrush <http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/ADAPTIVE/>) the quality of the outputs of TinyMT seems pretty good, SB> It would be useful to the reader to specify "pretty good" ========= The TinyMT32 PRNG initialization depends, among other things, on a parameter set -- namely (mat1, mat2, tmat) -- SB> These probably need a few words of explanation on introduction. ======== static void tinymt32_next_state (tinymt32_t * s); SB> I assume that this notation is good C, but SB> type space star space name does not seem common. SB> This may confuse some readers. One more often SB> sees one of the spaces omitted. ========= Nits/editorial comments: This specialisation aims at having a simple-to-use and deterministic PRNG, as explained below. SB> I assume that "deterministic PRNG" is a term of the art, but the SB> it sounds like an oxymoron to the uninitiated. Perhaps a word SB> or two would clarify. =======
