Hi Lars, thanks for your review and comments.

We need one clarification, perhaps on the definition
of an "Update" to a standards track RFC and what it entails.

At 08:56 AM 2/26/2010, Lars Eggert wrote:
Section 1., paragraph 6:

  Then you need an "Updates: 5357" header in the boilerplate. It would
  also be good to clarify in the text that that means that this
  extensions becomes mandatory to implement for all TWMP implementations
  (i.e., it is non-optional.) Oh, and add a reference to RFC5357 to this
  statement.
When we went ahead with the Mixed Security Mode RFC for TWAMP,
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5618" rel="nofollow"> http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5618
we made it an Update for RFC 5357. 

But it's not *mandatory to implement* RFC 5618 if you are building
RFC 5357 TWAMP, AFAIknew.  Is that what we've effectively done
by making it an Update?

We want to make sure that someone who builds TWAMP knows that there
have been new (optional) features added, like mixed security mode and
Individual Session control, etc. Update seemed like the right mechanism.

thanks for your help,
Al
