Hi,

The idea is that it can be seen by the entity operating the PCP Server.

Thanks,

Summary: This draft is almost ready for publication as a standard track RFC.





Major issues:



Minor issues:



1.       I am not sure what the use of the “description” option is. I can see how to create one but as for usage the only text I can see is “Querying the PCP server to get the description text of an existing mapping is out of scope.” I think that the document should provide information about the purpose of this option.

[Med] The main usage is for a user to associate a textual description with a mapping. This is captured by this text “   This option can be used by a user (or an application) to indicate a
   description associated with a given mapping such as "FTP server", "My
   remote access to my CP router", "Camera", "Network attached storage
   serve", etc.

”

[Roni Even] This is motivation but it is not clear why the user does it if no one can see it or does anything with it. It is kept on the server but not used by anyone?


Nits/editorial comments:

  1.  The IANA section should provide enough information to fill the registry http://www.iana.org/assignments/pcp-parameters/pcp-parameters.xml#options
[Med] Required information as per RFC6887 is provided in http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-pcp-description-option-03#section-2.
[Roni Even] So section 5 should point to the definition is section 2
