If we cannot resolve Russ and Dan's discuss below, I will move this document to DEAD status and simply assume that there is no energy to continue the work. Same for the WG itself. I'm putting a timeline on this. If I don't get a response back within a month, so by July 10, I will stop the publication of this document. - Mark |

Please reword to fit RFC 2119, for example: "It is not the purpose of this section to become a replacement of the normative IEEE 802.17 [2] or IEEE 802.17a [14] specifications." and "The reader is encouraged to consult IEEE 802.17 [2] and IEEE 802.17a [14] for normative details of functionality." or "Implementation of the current specification MUST follow IEEE 802.17 [2] and IEEE 802.17a [14]." (according to which of those you really mean). - Section 3.3, last sentence of the section, contains some unclear wording around the normative MAY. The text reads: > Note that a maximum jumbo frame payload size that MAY > be supported is defined at 9100 bytes. This makes no sense as a normative statement. Why not just change to lower case "may"? References must be split into Normative/Informative sections. The beginning of section 4.2 is misleading: > The Differentiated Service (DS) field of the IPv4 and IPv6 frame can > be used to convey service priority. Explicitly, diffserv is *not* a priority mechanism; it is a mechanism for differentiating classes of service. Reference [8] is to an obsolete document. Reference [9] is used as if it was normative, but [9] is informational. Thus, Table 1 is not normative (and this draft should not replicate material from [9] anyway, in case [9] is later updated.) > The mapping between IP DSCP to RPR header service class relevant > fields are shown in Table 2. This is the default mapping for > interoperablility, vendors/operators may choose to map differently. > Note that four treatment aggregates are used as suggested by [10]. This isn't clear enough whether it is trying to be normative or not. In fact its status cannot be normative, because it is built on [9] and [9] is not normative. This also needs to be clarified for the MPLS mapping in 6.1.1. |

The two introductory paragraphs in Section 2 seem to describe instructions to the reader of the document, I do not believe that they should use RFC 2119 style capitalization. 2. Some of the acronyms are not expanded at first use - FCS for example, may be more 3. in section 3.1.4 - what is the FCS computed upon? 4. section 3.2 - it would be useful to provide a reference to the registry where these value are defined 5. section 3.3 - the document should refer from what version of the IEEE 802.3 standard the max frame length is being taken - especially as this aspect of the IEEE 802.3 standard is now under revision. |

I believe that this information does not belong in the normative section of a standards track document. I suggest that the information that is not related strictly to the mapping of DSCP values in the RPR frame be moved in an Annex and the informational character of the references be clearly mentioned |

In the sake of clarity, I would suggest to reword the text … [Ballot comment] (From Gen-ART review by Miguel Garcia) - Section 8, IANA Considerations. In the sake of clarity, I would suggest to reword the text as following: "IANA is instructed to allocate a new hardware type (hrd) for IEEE 802.17 in the Address Resolution Protocol Parameters registry, as follows: Number Hardware Type (hrd) References ------ ----------------------------------- ---------- [xx] IEEE 802.17 [RFC YYYY] Note to the RFC Editor: Replace [xx] with the assigned value and [RFC YYYY] with the RFC number of this specification." - I will advocate to delete Section 4.1.1. Its title is weird in a specification. The first paragraph does not fit here at all, because it has to be expanded in the IANA Considerations Section. The second paragraph provides some historical background, which once the document is published as an RFC, becomes irrelevant. So I suggest to delete the whole section 4.1.1. Nits: - Expand the first occurrence of every acronym, e.g., MPLS, IEEE, TTL, MAC, etc. - Include a Table of Contents - Avoid use of unnecessary future tense terms. For example, in Section 1, the draft says: "This document will describe all the necessary mappings to aid interoperable networks. " and should be written in present tense, e.g., "this document describes ..." - Starting at Section 2.2.1, the draft uses square brackets to indicate protocol fields. These can be confused with references, which use also square brackets, so you may consider the use of some other symbol to denote protocol fields (example: ', ", -, (), etc.). So, the first line in Section 2.2.1 could be written as: The destination address (DA) (destination-address) is the ... Also, I noticed that in other sections, such as 2.2.4, the protocol fields are enclosed in parenthesis (see last line of the first paragraph in Section 2.2.4), so both should use the same mechanism. - Section 2.2.3, 2nd line: s/is it ability/is its ability - Section 2.2.4, 3rd line: s/parameter indicate a request/parameter indicates a request - Missing final dot in paragraphs in Sections 3.1.4. and 5.5. Also in the 2nd bullet point in Section 7. - Section 4.2, under 3rd paragraph under Table 2. s/These guidleines/These guidelines/ |

We have been a bit lax since Vancouver since it was pointed out a couple of the drafts we were referencing had not stabilized. Now that they are and we have IEEE 802.17 comments, we need to update the draft and then proceed with the joint IPoRPR/MPLS WG last call. I hope to get this done by the end of the month.
