I'd like to thank the author for writing this, and the V6OPS WG for all of the work and review; it is good work, and has served its purpose well... |

My first thought was that this document reads more like a Standards Track Applicability Statement than an Informational document... but then there’s the 6man-grand “companion” that’s Standards Track. And what I don’t understand is what the relationship is between this document and that one. Why does this document exist? Why isn’t it all in 6man-grand, and what’s the reason to be publishing two separate RFCs for this issue? Neither the document nor the shepherd writeup explain that. |

Not knowing that they’d soon … [Ballot comment] — Section 1 — Several abbreviations are used here, two sections before they are defined in Section 1.2. Not knowing that they’d soon be defined, I wondered why they weren’t expanded and given citations. I suggest expanding each abbreviation the first time it’s used in the Introduction, so the reader doesn’t have to know ahead of time to look down in 1.2 for the expansion. This applies to ND, NS, GUA, DAD, and LLA (you can just add “LLA” to the expansion that’s already at the end of list item 1). “SLAAC” is only used once in the document. I suggest removing the definition in 1.2, and just changing the text here to say, “The RA contains information the host needs to perform Stateless Address Autoconfiguration [RFC4862] and to configure its network stack.” 4. If the host sends multiple probes in parallel, it would consider all but one of them failed. It leads to user-visible delay in connecting to the network Nit: The “it” in the second sentence sounds odd; one wants to make it the same as the “it” in the previous sentence. I think you want “that” instead, no? — Section 1.2 — “TLLA” is defined here but never otherwise used; I suggest removing it. “SLLA” is only used as the undefined “SLLAO”; I suggest defining “SLLAO” instead. — Section 2.2 — neighboring nodes reachability Nit: this needs to be possessive, “neighboring nodes’ reachability”. o A node SHOULD send up to MAX_NEIGHBOR_ADVERTISEMENT unsolicited NA packet with the Override flag cleared Nit: “packets”, plural. — Section 3.2 — requires some investigation and discussions and seems to be an overkill for the problem described in this document. Nit: we don’t usually use an article with “overkill”. In any case, “seems to be excessive” feels like better wording here. — Section 3.3 — so all backup routers (or all active routers ex. one) would not get their neighbor cache updated. What is “ex.”? Is it meant to be “except”? Please spell it out. — Section 3.6 — o Additional overhead for routers control plane (in addition to processing ND packets, the data packet needs to be processed as well). This doesn’t appear to be a properly formed sentence; can you reword it to make it a complete sentence and to fix the “routers control plane” phrase? |

Please send substantive comments to the last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2020-09-04. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Neighbor Discovery (RFC4861) is used by IPv6 nodes to determine the link-layer addresses of neighboring nodes as well as to discover and maintain reachability information. This document discusses how the neighbor discovery state machine on a first-hop router is causing user-visible connectivity issues when a new (not being seen on the network before) IPv6 address is being used. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-v6ops-nd-cache-init/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. |

This seems appropriate as it … === Submitted as per RFC4858 (3.1) (1) The document aims for Information status, as indicated in the title page header. This seems appropriate as it is not describing a new protocol but instead discussing details of an existing one, problems and possible mitigations. A "companion" protocol update document exists in 6man (draft-ietf-6man-grand). (2) IESG approval announcement Technical Summary: This document discusses how the neighbor discovery (RFC4861) state machine on a first-hop router is causing user-visible connectivity issues when a new (not being seen on the network before) IPv6 address is being used. Working Group Summary: There were no issues during the WG process, on the other way around, consensus was clear. Document Quality: The document reports existing and know issues and several vendors have workarounds. It has been approved by v6ops, having successfully passed the last-call. Personnel: The document shepherd is Jordi Palet Martinez The responsible area director is Warren Kumari (3) Shepherd's review Before being assigned as shepherd for this document , I was already following the discussion of the document and supported adopting it as WG item. Anyway, as shepherd, I've re-read all the discussion in the mailing list, which started with the typical discussion about separating the problem statement from solution approach and if it belongs to v6ops or 6man and if it requires an errata or update to RFC4861. All has been cleared by the author, which has quickly reacted to all the inputs. I did one more complete review, sent some final typos/editorial inputs to the author, and I believe the document is ready for publication. (4) Shepherd's concerns I don't have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed. There was sufficient discussion, WG review and no objections. (5) Other Reviews I don't think any additional review is required for this document. (6) Shepherd's Concerns or issues I don't have any concerns or issues with this document. (7) IPR disclosures The author has publicly acknowledged in the WG that there are no known IPRs about this document. (8) IPRs referencing this document There are no known IPRs referencing this document, neither was any relevant discussion in the WG. There is a statement related to the companion document: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/search/?submit=draft&id=draft-ietf-6man-grand (9) WG consensus strength The document discussion in v6ops had sufficient participation and discussion, received broad support and no objections. (10) Document conflicts There was no indication of discontent during the document progress in the WG. (11) ID nits No nits found. (12) No formal review required. (13) Document references All the document references have been correctly identified as normative and informative. (14) Normative references to other documents There is a normative reference to a companion document in 6man, ietf-6man-grand. This document has been already adopted as WG item by 6man, and at the time being, is progressing with no objections. Furthermore, it has been reported as something already implemented and tested by at least a vendor. I understand that both documents will need to be processed/published together by the RFC Editor, as it will not make too much sense to publish only this document and not ietf-6man-grand. (15) There are no conflicting downward normative references. (16) No further documents updated/obsoleted by this one. (17) No IANA reservations. (18) No IANA registries that require Expert Review. (19) No formal language. (20) No YANG modules. Regards, Jordi @jordipalet |
