RE: 6MAN WG Last Call: <draft-ietf-6man-impatient-nud-02.txt>

I support this document - it's important work and the document is really close to ship to the IESG. 

I thought this document should be on Standards Track but the document does not say anything about the Intended Status of the document.  Please fix that so that document includes Intended Status.  Additionally, if the document is on Standards Track, do we have at least one implementation of the protocol changes covered in the document?  Or the protocol changes are deemed minor and one does not need at least one implementation? 

Comments included below.

COMMENTS:

1.  In the first paragraph of the Protocol Update section, please replace "route" by "router".  At least all of RFC 4861 works with a default router not a default route.

2. I think the following text in the Protocol Update section can be removed because the text is redundant with RFC 4861.

[The UNREACHABLE state is conceptual and not a required part of this
specification.  A node merely needs to satisfy the externally
observable behavior of this specification.]

Editorial comments:

1. In the first paragraph of the Introduction section, please add a space between the two words shown below.

[reachable.The].

2. In the Protocol Update section, change

"Cache Entry as any time"

to 

"Cache Entry at any time"

In the same section change

"no IPv6 packets"

To

"no IPv6 packet"

3. In the Example Algorithm section, do we need to change

"An Implementation"

to

"An implementation"?

4. In the Security Considerations section, "belived" is misspelled.

Hemant
