Title: SIMAP: Concept, Requirements, and Use Cases
Reviewer: Michael Tüxen
Review result: Ready with Nits

This document has been reviewed as part of the transport area review team's
ongoing effort to review key IETF documents. These comments were written
primarily for the transport area directors, but are copied to the document's
authors and WG to allow them to address any issues raised and also to the IETF
discussion list for information.

When done at the time of IETF Last Call, the authors should consider this
review as part of the last-call comments they receive. Please always CC
tsv-art@ietf.org if you reply to or forward this review.

There are two comments related to transport layer considerations:

1. Section 6 requires that transport security must be used.
   It might make sense to also require that appropriate congestion
   control is used. This is implicitly given, if TLS/TCP or SSH/TCP
   is used, but not if DTLS/UDP is used.

2. Information about different protocol layers can be collected and
   processed, but the transport layer is not mentioned explicitly.
   I don't know if this is intended or by accident. Therefore I wanted
   to bring this question up.

Best regards
Michael
