Summary:



This document is ready for publication. I have a couple of minor issues that
need clarification and can be solved easily by minor editing.



Major issues:



Minor issues:



1.



It is not clear to me how backwards compatibility is ensured. How do
implementations make distinction between OWAMP or TWAMP packets that use
timestamp update and Checksum Complement rather than timestamp update
 and UDP checksum update? Is a mix of senders/receivers (for OWAMP) or
 senders/reflectors (for TWAMP) that some support and some do not support
 Checksum Complement possible?

2.



The last paragraph in section 4 reads: ‘The concept described in this document
is intended to be used only in unauthenticated or in authenticated mode.’ This
seems either a mistake, or I did not understand what
 it means and some clarification is needed.
