Hi,

I've been asked to review draft-gont-tcpm-tcp-seq-validation. Below are my comments. In general the draft looks good. Section 4.1 is a bit hard to review given that the text is repeated. This is something we can review again in the next draft version.

* "and thus elicits a ACK segment" -> "an ACK" 

* Section 3.4 says " (Failed) Simultaneous Connection Termination" in the TCP time sequence ASCII

* Section 4.1.  TCP sequence number validation -> text is repeated

* Section 7 doesn't look like an acknowledgement.
