Reviewer: Dhruv Dhody
Review Result: Ready (with comments)

I have reviewed this document as part of the Operational Directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These
comments were written with the intent of improving the operational aspects of
the IETF drafts. Comments that are not addressed in the last call may be
included in AD reviews during the IESG review.  Document editors and WG chairs
should treat these comments just like any other last call comments.

Thanks for doing this cleanup exercise.

# IANA

While the OLD/NEW style is clear, I am unsure if that should be preserved in
the IANA consideration section of the published RFC. Does IANA have any opinion
on this style?

Also, since RFC 6335 asks the de-assigned port to be marked as Reserved, I am
unsure whether leaving the port number empty (as currently done in the new
text) will align with the updated IANA registry page.

Related question: Should this update also fill in some of the empty fields
(like Assignee and Contact), or is it better to keep them empty as done in the
past?

# Minor

The introduction lists two issues - (1) the use of transport protocols (udp),
(2) protocols not deployed. On the other hand, the abstract only mentions
"(2)". Should it also mention "(1)"?

Thanks!
