RE: FW: I-D Action: draft-ietf-6man-ipv6-alt-mark-07.txt

Hi Erik,
Thanks for the input.
I tend to agree that the condition “MUST” can be changed to “SHOULD”. I can address your comments in the -08 version.

Regards,

Giuseppe

Giuseppe,

I think in S2.1 "MUST NOT" be used outside a "controlled domain" is perhaps a bit too strong.  Similarly in S6, "MUST be applied in...controlled domains" might be moderated down to "SHOULD only be applied...".

I'll note that it is possible for an AH option to be used to ensure the DstOpt variant is unmodified en route, and these two in conjunction can be used wherever desired to send such packets outside the given domain (subject, of course, to all the middlebox interference any such packet would inevitably receive -- but that's a separate issue).

Abstract:
   This document describes how the Alternate Marking Method can be used
   as a passive performance measurement tool in an IPv6 domain.  It
   defines a new Extension Header Option to encode Alternate Marking
   information in both the Hop-by-Hop Options Header and Destination
   Options Header.
