Ben Campbell has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-taps-minset-08: No Objection When responding, please keep the subject line intact and reply to all email addresses included in the To and CC lines. (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-taps-minset/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- General: It's not clear to me who the target audience is for this draft or what the purpose is for publishing it as an RFC. It seems like an internal working group document that won't have much archival value once the interfaces are published. It seems telling that Appendix A (which IIUC is entirely historical) is almost twice as long as the body of the draft. But I see that it is in fact chartered work, so I'm balloting "No Objection". Otherwise, I just have a few editorial comments: General: The annotation "(!UDP)" is used throughout. I can guess the meaning, but it would be better to explicitly state it. Also, it seems odd to find that sort of annotation imbedded in paragraph form text. §1: Please include a citation for the "Berkeley Sockets Interface". (Maybe the POSIX specs?) §3.1, section title: What is the meaning of using all-caps here? It would help to include some description of the typographical convention. (This repeats in some other sections). §3.1 "We caution implementers to be aware of the full set of trade-offs, for which we recommend consulting the list in Appendix A.2.1 when deciding how to initialize a connection." If there is content in an Appendix that is risky for an implementor to skip, please consider moving it into the body. People regularly skip reading appendices.
