Hi Spencer,

As draft shepherd, I believe that the timer-related issues were the only technical item needing resolution after Berlin.
With the rewritten text in 3.1.1 having resolved those issues, I t think this draft is ready to go.

Thanks, --David

Hi, Gorry,

Lars and I just submitted a new revision of this ID.

This is a result of discussion with Mark Alman on the topic of advice for
using timers with UDP protocols/application and the pending issue
presented at TSVWG in Berlin  (Mark's work on TCP timer usage was
discussed in TCPM at the last IETF meeting). After working through the
points in draft-ietf-tsvwg-rfc5405bis, Mark volunteered improved text for
section 3.1 - Thanks Mark for helping to get the wording correct.

We hope this new text resolves the issue and we can now move forward.

I hope so, too, of course!

I'm not seeing any responses to this on the TSVWG mailing list. Is this ready to go?

I'm assuming we're close, so getting ready to put this on a telechat agenda. I've been copied on (most of?) the discussion since IETF Last Call, so I'm not surprised at the changes in https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=draft-ietf-tsvwg-rfc5405bis-13.txt&url2=draft-ietf-tsvwg-rfc5405bis-17.txt. Thanks for that.

It's in previous versions, too, but

   required when operating over the general.

should be

   required when operating over the general Internet.

The authors can fix that (quickly) if they agree, or I can put it in my Yes ballot when we start IESG Evaluation (but reviewers who are assigned to re-review at telechat time may also notice it and complain). Please let me know which you prefer.

Spencer

Gorry, Lars and Greg

Abstract:
   The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) provides a minimal message-passing
   transport that has no inherent congestion control mechanisms.  This
   document provides guidelines on the use of UDP for the designers of
   applications, tunnels and other protocols that use UDP.  Congestion
   control guidelines are a primary focus, but the document also
   provides guidance on other topics, including message sizes,
   reliability, checksums, middlebox traversal, the use of ECN, DSCPs,
   and ports.

   Because congestion control is critical to the stable operation of the
   Internet, applications and other protocols that choose to use UDP as
   an Internet transport must employ mechanisms to prevent congestion
   collapse and to establish some degree of fairness with concurrent
   traffic.  They may also need to implement additional mechanisms,
   depending on how they use UDP.

   Some guidance is also applicable to the design of other protocols
   (e.g., protocols layered directly on IP or via IP-based tunnels),
   especially when these protocols do not themselves provide congestion
   control.

   This document obsoletes RFC5405 and adds guidelines for multicast UDP
   usage.
