Yes (2012-05-21 for -09) Unknown

The authors ask me to note that there is a typo in the IANA considerations section.

Current:
| Private/Experimental Use | 0x80 - 0xFF |      Experimental      |
Should be:
| Private/Experimental Use | 0x80 - 0xFE |      Experimental      |

The IRTF and RFC editor are asked to note this and make the change.

The following comments are provided for consideration by the ISE and 
document authors in case they can be used to improve the document.

I think that some clarity could be added to the IANA work by
clarifying the meaning of "Experimental" ranges and other ranges (using 
the 5226 allocation policies) in the light of this document itself being 
an Experimental document.

---

PRoPHET is an Experimental protocol. That is good. Implementers and 
researchers would benefit from some description and advice on how best
to experiment with the protocol. What constraints should be applied in
terms of interaction with "the Internet"? What sort of information 
should experimenters be hoping to gather? What further protocol work 
is needed? How would we assess whether PRoPHET is worthy of
standardising?

For this I'm either yes or else I recuse if that's the proper thing for an IRSG member
and RG co-chair to do. I guess nobody knows (or cares:-) so I'll at least temporarily
set a positive precedent.

Stewart Bryant Former IESG member

I thought that this was an interesting and novel experimental routing protocol and am thus voting yes.

I intend to read it in close detail a further time, and if I have any comments that may improve the text, I will pass them to the authors and ISE.
