Re: [multipathtcp] I-D Action: draft-ietf-mptcp-rfc6824bis-12.txt

Hello Alan,

Most of my comments from [1] are handled. Thank you.

Some comments based on the updated text:
1. Accepted comment#8 in [1] does not seem to be handled. I think it is important to be clarified that the value of "Address ID" has significance not only within a single connection but also only on the peer who generates the ID. Thus it is possible for peers to generate the same Address ID within a connection as well.
2. Thank you for removing the term "passive opener" throughout the document. The new text is much easier to understand.
3. Looks like comment#2 for explicitly mentioning the Reason Code for MP_TCPRST was not accepted. I understand we haven’t really got any feedback from the WG on this point but then I feel it is necessary to do this.
4. "make-before-break session" term is introduced after rewording ... I feel this term should be explained in terminology section.

Best,
Rahul
