Warren Kumari has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-6man-ra-pref64-08: No Objection 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-6man-ra-pref64/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Like Alexey, I found the Scaled Lifetime section tricky / overly complex - I'm not actually quire sure why the value needs to be scaled by 8 -- the field is 13 bits, which gives ( I think!) a maximum value of 8192. If this were not scaled, it would be 136 minutes (8192/60), or ~2 1/4 hours -- I might be missing something, but surely if you haven't gotten an RA in much less than that, you have some larger set of issues? I think that the complexity would be an easier pill to swallow if there was some justification for the complexity provided. If the text is reworded, I *think* it might make sense to break the explanation out of the main part of the "Option Format" bit, and do something like: "Scaled Lifetime: 13-bit unsigned integer, see Section 5.1" and then put the explanation text in Sec 5.1 - having it in this location makes the text feel "squished" and leads to an attempt to be overly terse.
