Re: [GROW] WGLC: draft-ietf-grow-private-ip-sp-cores

There is a mention of "squat" space that doesn't make any recommendations as to use or not.

I can understand not expressing an opinion on the rfc1918/private space shouldn't this state that squating is bad?
"This effect in itself is often not a problem.  However, if anti-
   spoofing controls are applied at network perimeters, then responses
   returned from hops with private IP addresses will be dropped."

Any rfc1918 filtering mechinisim will cause this issue not just bcp38 type anti-spoofing.
Firewalls, junipers and many platforms drop rfc1918 space but not as part of bcp38 .
BTW BCP84 ala rfc3704 is an update/addition to bcp38 you should probably add them to this reference.

And for consistecy I recommend using an expression such as "any rfc1918 or bogon filtering..."

Under section 4 the author says urpf or ingress filtering.
"If the router's interface address is a
   private IP address, then this ICMP reply packet may be discarded due
   to uRPF or ingress filtering, thereby causing the PMTUD mechanism to
   fail."

Under
5. Unexpected interactions with some NAT implementations
The first section works. As stated it might confuse someone but honestly unless the 4th hop also matches the 2 hop it doesn't look like a routing loop to me. It looks like rfc1918 reuse.

Type escape sequence to abort.

     2 198.51.100.13 0 msec 4 msec 0 msec
     3 10.1.1.2 0 msec 4 msec 0 msec        <<<<
     4 198.51.100.5 4 msec 0 msec 4 msec
     5 198.51.100.1 0 msec 0 msec 0 msec

Section 6 references rfc2827 should probably include bcp84 and rfc3704.

Your first example of a security gap is really a no worse if you use private or public addresss but you call that out so I am ok with it.

NIT
This:
Some applications discover the outside address of
   their local CPE to determine if that address is reserver for special
   use.
Should be this:
Some applications discover the outside address of
   their local CPE to determine if that address is reserved for special
   use.

When packets collide the controllers cease transmission AND wait a random time before retransmission (mostly)!
