This document provides normative updates to several RFCs, not just guidance to implementers. Section 12 identifies some "relatively low cost bugs". Is the intent to warn people about the bugs without fixing them. Please provide some rationale. How (if at all) does an implementation change? To resolve this concern, the following text was proposed for Section 12, final paragraph OLD: These are seen to be relatively low cost bugs as only these 5 strings are affected and they are only affected under certain conditions. NEW: This document does not correct the dictionary, as any changes to the dictionary itself would be non-backwards-compatible, and require all implementations to maintain two different copies of the dictionary. Such a cost is far too high for a bug that is trivial to work around and has negligible effect on compression ratios. Instead, we point out the flaw so as to allow implementers to avoid any consequent problems. Specifically: if the bytecodes sent to a remote endpoint contain instructions that load only a sub-portion of the SIP/SDP dictionary, then the input stream provided to those bytecodes cannot reference any of these five offsets in the offset table unless the corresponding string portion of the dictionary has also been loaded. For example, if bytecodes loaded only the first three priorities of the dictionary (both string and offset table), use of the offset for "send" (at 0x089d) would be valid; however, use of the offset for "phone" (at 0x00f2) would not. |

Some examples: - section RFC3320:7 - section RFC3320-9.4.2 Please fix the sentence in Section 1, and then use it consistently. Please pick one spelling: "Sigcomp" or "SigComp" |

The security considerations for [2] and [4] are the same as for [1]; therefore, this section discusses only how the security considerations for [1] are affected by the updates. That seems to imply that an "Updates: RFC 3320" is needed. Brian has asked a larger question, and I think it should be answered, but this seems to be required for consistency. |

After some hesitations I reached the conclusion that they are not critical to grant a DISCUSS, yet it may be well if the editors and WG would consider these: 1. The title of the document is mis-leading - it is more than an 'Implementer's Guide' as some changes alter normative text in other documents. I believe that 'SigComp - Implementer's Guide, Clarifications and Updates' may be more appropriate. 2. Because of changes (corrections and additions) of normative text the header should mention that the document updates RFC 3320 and RFC 3485. I could not find updates to normative text in 3321, but maybe I missed them. 3. The document is a mix of implementation hints, clarifications and updates. Future implementers of SigCom would have a hard time to find the changes affect normative text in other documents. Most of the updates are concentrated i believe in Sections 4 and 12. It would help I believe if an Appendix would resume in one place all those updates 4. The style of the document is inconsistent on respect to references to other documents, which may reflect different authorship. For example Section 5 prpvides no refereces to 3320 sections, as other sections in the document do. |

RFC3585 did not create a registry thus there is no action for IANA. Unless RFC3585 IANA considerations where wrong. We understand the above to be the only IANA Action for this document. |

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? I (Lars-Erik Jonsson) am the Document Sheperd for this document, and I have personally reviewed this version of the document, which I believe is ready for publication. (1.b) Has the document had adequate review both from key WG members and from key non-WG members? Does the Document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? The document has mainly been reviewed by active WG members and SigComp experts, but some passive WG participants were also asked to review the document prior to the WGLC. (1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document needs more review from a particular or broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with AAA, internationalization or XML? No, the document provides guidelines to SigComp implementers, and it has been written and reviewed by experienced implementers of the protocol. That should in my view ensure sufficient review. (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? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns here. No 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? There is strong consensus behind this document within the "SigComp camp" of the ROHC WG. (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? (See http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough. Has the document met all formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB Doctor, media type and URI type reviews? I have reviewed the document, and believe it satisfies all criterias. (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and informative? Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such normative references exist, what is the strategy for their completion? Are there normative references that are downward references, as described in [RFC3967]? If so, list these downward references to support the Area Director in the Last Call procedure for them [RFC3967]. References are split into normative/informative, and there are no references to pending documents. (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA consideration section exists and is consistent with the body of the document? If the document specifies protocol extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA registries? Are the IANA registries clearly identified? If the document creates a new registry, does it define the proposed initial contents of the registry and an allocation procedure for future registrations? Does it suggested a reasonable name for the new registry? See [I-D.narten-iana-considerations-rfc2434bis]. If the document describes an Expert Review process has Shepherd conferred with the Responsible Area Director so that the IESG can appoint the needed Expert during the IESG Evaluation? This document implies no IANA actions. (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? There are no such formal specifications in the document. (1.k) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Writeup? Technical Summary This document describes common misinterpretations and some ambiguities in the Signalling Compression Protocol (SigComp), and offers guidance to developers to clarify any resultant problems. Working Group Summary This document has grown through concerns from implementers. The final document has been reviewed by the WG, and there is WG consensus that the document should now be published as an RFC. Document Quality There are several independent implementations of SigComp, which are in general already implemented according to this document. Personnel Document Sheperd for this document is Lars-Erik Jonsson, and Magnus Westerlund is the Responsible Area Director. |
