AD evaluation: draft-ietf-6man-rfc1981bis-03

[Suresh Krishnan <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,
  I have gone through draft-ietf-6man-rfc1981bis-03 and I found it to be in good shape to progress. I just saw two minor issues that need to be addressed

* Section 1

I don’t think that his text that is copied over from RFC4821 is helpful. I think the earlier part of the paragraph is well written, useful and conveys exactly the right amount of context.

“          In this algorithm, the	
 	   proper MTU is determined by starting with small packets and probing	
 	   with successively larger packets.  The bulk of the algorithm is	
 	   implemented above IP, in the transport layer (e.g., TCP) or other	
 	   "Packetization Protocol" that is responsible for determining packet	
 	   boundaries."

* Section 3

I am not sure why the following text is required. What are these nodes? I thought we discussed this and decided to not put in such text.

"(regardless of whether it decrements the Hop Limit)"

I would suggest removing the text or adding an example of such a node.

Thanks
Suresh

P.S.: I agree with Donald’s comment in his INT Dir review that the “security classifications” paragraph seems dated but I would prefer for it to be removed rather than rewritten.
