Hi Pascal!


There are just a couple of remaining comments...nothing major.  I will
start the IETF LC when you upload an update. :-)

Thanks!!

§12.5 says this:

   This specification creates a new Subregistry for the RPL Non-
   Rejection Status values for use in the RPL DAO-ACK and DCO messages
   with the 'A' flag reset, under the RPL registry.

s/DAO-ACK and DCO/DAO-ACK, DCO, and DCO-ACK

[major] "value above 4, the size of the ROVR is undetermined and this
node cannot validate the ROVR; an implementation SHOULD propagate the
whole Target Option upwards as received to enable the verification by
an ancestor that would support the upgraded ROVR."

Several points:

1- Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anywhere that a RPL node would
validate the ROVR.  Is that implicit somehow?  Note that I'm referring
to RPL functionality since we're talking about the Target Option (not
from rfc8505's point of view).

2- It seems to me that both the 6LR and then the Root simply copy the
ROVR from/to the EDAR.  IOW, there doesn't seem to be another RPL
ancestor who would do anything with it.

3- Assuming that the 6LR somehow originated a bad Target Option (with
a ROVRsz > 4), then it looks like the Root wouldn't be able to send an
EDAR.  What should it do?  I'm guessing it should send a failure
signal back to the 6LR.

4- We're making assumptions about an "upgraded ROVR".


To solve all this maybe just delete starting with "In case of a value
above 4..."   If RPL is just carrying the information then that seems
more an rfc8505 issue...

Good...except that I think there's a Normative conflict: "the
6LR...MUST rewrite the RPI" vs "up to the 6LR...to use...or rewrite".
 s/MUST/SHOULD

Should any of this be also in UseofRPLInfo?  Or maybe it should be
explained there and referenced form here.  UseofRPLInfo talks about
always inserting the RPI at the 6LR, no exceptions.

Nope, that was it. :-)
