This is a useful document - thank you for writing it. I have one comment that is indeed a comment only, not a blocking issue. It relates to how the attribute is designed. It is my belief additional interoperability could perhaps been achieved, if you had used the Diameter attribute format. This would have allowed carrying both RADIUS and Diameter attributes (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6733#section-4.1), at the cost of only a few bytes. (It is of course also possible to define a separate DHCP option for carrying Diameter attributes, perhaps in a separate document.) Did the authors or the working group consider this design choice, or work out what the implications would have been? Or are there existing specifications or other reasons (such as practices on the DHCPv4 side) that dictate the particular design chosen in the draft?

To the document shepherd: I found the shepherd writeup for this document to be particularly good; thanks, Tomek, for being clear and thorough.

I guess the answer is yes, but let me make sure... Does this mechanism support the RADIUS protocol extensions (RFC 6929)? Regards, Benoit

I support Spencer's DISCUSS points on the use of SHOULDs vs/ MUSTs. One way to clarify why SHOULDs are appropriate would be to add an example exception case where the options are not included.

Thank you for resolving my DISCUSS comments.

Thanks for handling my discuss points. I didn't check if the comments below still applied so I'll leave them there just in case it helps someone sometime:-) --- old comments: abstract: this is very unclear to me, having read it the spec could be about three or four different things, but I'm none the wiser. It should say that this is for when the RADIUS client is the DHCP relay and wants to tell the DHCP server about RADIUS stuff. section 1: This bit needs a rewrite. "In that case the NAS directly responds the DHCPv6 messages as per the indication conveyed by the attributes in the Access-Accept message from the RADIUS server."
