Re: [Tsv-art] Tsvart last call review of draft-ietf-dots-rfc8782-bis-05

[[e-mail]]

Hi Michael, 

Thank you for the review.

The motivation was used as it was the key element in the discussion in Section 3.3.3 of RFC1122, but you made a fair comment.

==
         DISCUSSION:
              Picking the correct datagram size to use when sending data
              is a complex topic [IP:9].

              (a)  In general, no host is required to accept an IP
                   datagram larger than 576 bytes (including header and
                   data), so a host must not send a larger datagram
                   without explicit knowledge or prior arrangement with
                   the destination host.
==

We can update the text as follows: 

OLD: 
   assume a PMTU of 576 bytes for IPv4 datagrams, as every IPv4 host
   must be capable of receiving a packet whose length is equal to 576
   bytes as discussed in [RFC0791] and [RFC1122].

NEW:
   assume a PMTU of 576 bytes for IPv4 datagrams (see Section 3.3.3 of [RFC1122]).

Cheers,
Med
