Re: [Lwip] [tcpm] [Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-lwig-tcp-constrained-node-networks-04.txt]

Hello,

I've read the draft and I think the draft looks fine and mostly ready.
I have some comments below..

1: Section 4.2.4:
  "In that case, RTO algorithm tuning may be considered, although
careful assessment of possible drawbacks is recommended"

-> It might be better if we refer draft-ietf-tcpm-rto-consider here
although it is not very certain the draft will be published at this
moment? It seems to me the motivation of the doc fits the situation
like this.

2: Section 4.3.1:
   "These algorithms work efficiently for window size of at least 5 MSS"

-> Just curious why this is 5? Is it because the use of delayed ack is presumed?
     A receiver may have a chance to send an ack for segment 1 before
segment 3 arrives.

3: Section 5.3
    CCN -> CNN?

   "This overhead could be reduced by TCP Fast Open (TFO)"

-> Yes, but the use of TLS is not mandatory in this draft. If an
implementation utilizes TFO, we might want to mention about app level
idempotency here.

   "TCP keep-alive messages are not very useful to..."

-> We don't need to discuss reducing the interval of keep-alive here?

Thanks,
