Document: draft-ietf-tcpm-rto-consider-16 Reviewer: Stewart Bryant Review Date: 2020-07-03 IETF LC End Date: 2020-06-01 IESG Telechat date: 2020-07-09 Summary: This is a well written document and is much improved over the previous version that I reviewed. I thank the author for their work in that regard. However I do have one concern that I think the Area Directors need to consider carefully. Major issues: Whilst the document has undoubtedly gained consensus in the transport area, it is not clear whether the other areas that will be impacted have properly considered the implications of the text and proactively given their consensus to the text. In particular the following text in a BCP may be a burden on future protocols, particularly in the routing and OAM spaces, with the potential for disagreements in the closing stages of specification approval. - The requirements in this document may not be appropriate in all cases and, therefore, inconsistent deviations and variants may be necessary (hence the "SHOULD" in the last bullet). However, inconsistencies MUST be (a) explained and (b) gather consensus. It is possible that I am over-reacting but experience tells me that this holds the seeds of future disagreements between areas, delays in publication, and possible re-engineering of what are in practice perfectly acceptable implementations. Minor issues: None Nits/editorial comments: There is a trivial nits issue in the abstract that the RFC editor will need to resolve.
