Rtg Dir review from Alia Atlas says: I have reviewed draft-ietf-roll-trickle-06. It is one of the best drafts that I have read and I do not have any substantial or even editorial comments on it. I found the protocol as described to be clear, simple and pretty elegant.

Well written specification and an interesting read. Thanks. Looking at the other discusses, I do think that this is in the ROLL charter. Its part of the routing mechanisms.

Nit: 3rd para of section 3, s/their/its/ Question: is the typical value of k in the range 1-5 independent of the density of the network nodes, where I'm thinking of "density" as the number of nodes that hear a given message?

In section 6.5 - The comment about "having the parameter describe k-1 instead of k being confusing" is confusing. I had to think for some time to convince myself that I understood what you were trying to say. I encourage you to further explain, or rewrite the comment. Why are you allowing different uses of trickle to give different meanings to k=0? It would seem to facilitate interoperability (and simplify implementation) if you just defined k=0 to mean turning off suppression in all cases. Individual uses of trickle can forbid setting k=0 if they don't want to allow turning off suppression.
