When simultaneously using the RECOMMENDED truncation process in TWAMP section 4.2.1 [RFC5357] AND Reflect octets mode, the Session- Reflector MUST reflect the designated octets from the Session- Sender's test packet in the "Packet Padding (from Session-Sender)" Field, and MAY re-use additional Packet Padding from the Session- Sender. I think "AND" is not a 2119 term, and "RECOMMENDED" is used here simply to report on what RFC 5357 says. How about... Section 4.2.1 of [RFC5356] recommends a truncation process for use in TWAMP. When that process is used in conjunction with the Reflect octets mode, the Session-Reflector MUST reflect the designated octets from the Session-Sender's test packet in the "Packet Padding (from Session-Sender)" Field, and MAY re-use additional Packet Padding from the Session-Sender. The problem with the use of "RECOMMENDED" shows up in a number of other places. It also seems to encourage the use of other non-2119 words (such as "IF" in Section 3.3). |

There are numerous instances of the text "the RECOMMENDED truncation process in TWAMP section 4.2.1 [RFC5357]"; there is no need for the word "recommended" to be all-caps here, because the normative language already exists in RFC 5357. 2. Some of the typography is non-standard, such as "*continues*" and "IF" and "AND" and "BOTH"; it's better to provide emphasis using normal English words, such as "it is important to note that X continues" and "if and only if". |

Therefore it appears that this specification formally updates RFC 4656. However, the document header notes only that it updates RFC 5357. |

I think you should either delete "return in" or "include in". packet format (see section 4.2). 3.4. Additional considerations A Control-Client conforming to this extension of [RFC5357] MAY ignore the values in the higher bits of the Modes Field, or it MAY support other features that are communicated in those bit positions. The other bits are available for future protocol extensions. Is it Ok for this document to define this? I think this is already defined in the base spec. 6.2. Registry Contents TWAMP Modes Registry is recommended to be augmented as follows: Value Description Semantics Definition 0 Reserved 1 Unauthenticated RFC4656, Section 3.1 2 Authenticated RFC4656, Section 3.1 4 Encrypted RFC4656, Section 3.1 8 Unauth. TEST protocol, RFC5618, Section 3.1 (3) Auth. CONTROL 16 Individual Session RFC????, Section 3.1 Control bit position (4) Please don't repeat existing registry entries in the IANA Considerations section. The current list is maintained by IANA and any list specified in an RFC can quickly get out of date. |

Has the Document Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the document and, in particular, does he or she believe this version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication? Document sheperd is Henk Uijterwaal. He would not have bothered to write this note if he didn't believe that the document was ready for publication. (1.b) Has the document had adequate review both from key WG members and from key non-WG members? This is a small feature request. About half a dozen people have read the document and confirmed that this request will work without affecting current implementations. The request itself seems to be a useful enhancement. (1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document needs more review from a particular or broader perspective, No. (1.d) Does the Document Shepherd have any specific concerns or issues with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG should be aware of? No, there are no such concerns. (1.e) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it? Decent, with some 6 members of the group reviewing it. (1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? No. (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the document satisfies all ID nits? There is a reference to RFC5226 which is not used anywhere. THis can be removed by the editor. (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and informative? Yes Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? No (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA consideration section exists and is consistent with the body of the document? Yes, it appears to be correct. (1.j) Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the document that are written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc., validate correctly in an automated checker? N/A. (1.k) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up? Recent examples can be found in the "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval announcement contains the following sections: Technical Summary The IETF has completed its work on the core specification of TWAMP - the Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol. This memo describes two closely-related features for TWAMP: an optional capability where the responder host returns some of the command octets or padding octets to the controller, and an optional sender packet format that ensures equal test packet sizes are used in both directions. Working Group Summary The normal WG process was followed and the document has been discussed for several years. The document as it is now, reflects WG consensus, with nothing special worth noticing. Document Quality Good |
