Barry Leiba has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-idr-flow-spec-v6-17: 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-idr-flow-spec-v6/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCUSS: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This should be extremely straightforward: either there’s a typo... or I simply don’t understand. In the Abstract: Dissemination of Flow Specification Rules provides a Border Gateway Protocol extension for the propagation of traffic flow information for the purpose of rate limiting or filtering IPv4 protocol data packets. Is that supposed to say “IPv6”? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A few minor comments: — Section 3.1 — The offset has been defined to allow for flexible matching on part of the IPv6 address where it is required to skip (don't care) of N first bits of the address. I can’t parse this sentence, nor make sense of the parenthetical. Can you reword it? In the case Length minus Offset is 0 every address matches. Length MUST always be in the range 0-128 and Length minus Offset MUST always be 0 or more, otherwise this component is malformed. Is there actually value in allowing 129 ways to match every address (length=offset=0, length=offset=1, length=offset=87, and so on)? If not, it seems less prone to error to say that length=offset=0 matches every address, and otherwise length MUST be greater than offset or the component is malformed. No? — Section 3.8.1 — Neither for the destination prefix pattern (length - offset = 32 bit) nor for the source prefix pattern (length - offset = 40 bit) any padding is needed (both patterns end on a octet boundary). This isn’t grammatical. How about this?: NEW Padding is not needed either for the destination prefix pattern (length - offset = 32 bit) or for the source prefix pattern (length - offset = 40 bit), as both patterns end on a octet boundary.
