(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-ntp-mode-6-cmds/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for the work put into this document. First, I must admit that this is the first time I see an IETF stream informational document for the specification of a control protocol used by an obsoleted RFC 1305. This document is much easier to read than the appendix B of RFC 1305 and the author takes care to write that this spec is not mandatory to implement but I really wonder why this document exists ? Moreover the abstract says "The goal of this document is to provide a current, but historic, " so why not publishing this document as 'historic' rather than 'informal' (datatracker seems to allow this modification). Please find below a couple of non-blocking COMMENTs (and I would appreciate a reply to each of my COMMENTs) and some NITs. I hope that this helps to improve the document, Regards, -éric == COMMENTS == -- Section 1.1 -- Suggest to replace 'IP' by 'IPv4' in 'IP hosts are not required to reassemble datagrams larger than 576' + add some text that this document applies the same limitation to IPv6. -- Section 2 -- Possibly linked to my lack of understanding of the purpose of this document, but, if applicable only to NTPv3, then should the Version number clearly specified to be 3 ? -- Section 3.2 -- Suggest to add 'bit' after 'Peer Status' in the table headings to make it clear. -- Section 4 -- It will probably be useful to expand 'MRU' at first use. In the "Read ordered list (11):" it is not clear how the entries are ordered in the case of "ifstats" is it per local address ? Are IPv4 addresses before IPv6 addresses ? -- Appendix A -- Is there a reason why the mode 7 is in the appendix and not in the main body ? == NITS == -- Section 2 -- s/Conains/Contains/ -- Section 4 -- Should there be a comma in 'seven characters "ifstats" the associated' before 'the associated' ?
