RE: (ngtrans) WG Last Call on IPv4 Survey

["Philip J. Nesser II" <[e-mail]>]

Brian,

Thanks for the nits.  I will look into them.  

Everyone Else,

Please take Brian's suggestion to heart.  This document covers a vast
amount of protocols and topics, well beyond any single person's ability
to master.  Looking at it as a whole is amazingly daunting, but taking a
few RFC's that you wrote, implemented, contributed to, or are familiar
with and looking at that specific subset is a much easier task.

This is a major piece of work and Phil has done a great job, but
I fear it isn't quite done yet. I think everybody needs to read it
and nit-pick. If we each find 4 or 5 nits the document will be
much improved.

My nits:

I'd remove section 1.4. I fully agree with it, but it is a comment
to the IESG and should be sent to them separately.

There are editing glitches in section 3.19.2.

There is the assertion that ARP and RARP (3.37 and 3.38) have no IPv4 
dependencies. There is perhaps a sense in which that's true, but in fact
they are IPv4-only protocols with no applicability to IPv6.

Section 4.04 (RFC 1188) should simply point to RFC 2019.

Section 4.05 (RFC 1191) should simply state that PMTU discovery is a
mandatory part of IPv6 and refer to RFC 1981.
