I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for this draft. For background on Gen-ART, please see the FAQ at < http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/area/gen/trac/wiki/GenArtfaq>. Please resolve these comments along with any other Last Call comments you may receive. Document: draft-ietf-6man-resilient-rs-04.txt Reviewer: Brian Carpenter Review Date: 2015-02-07 IETF LC End Date: 2015-02-16 IESG Telechat date: Summary: Ready -------- Minor issues: ------------- The writeup says "There was significant discussion if this document should be extended to support links without multicast RAs altogether. The consensus in the WG was to not do that in this document." But the Abstract says "Furthermore, on some links, unsolicited multicast Router Advertisements are never sent and the mechanism in this document is intended to work even in such scenarios." These two statements are inconsistent. Also, section 2.1 describes specific behaviour on non-multicast links (which as far as I can see, will indeed work if RAs are both unicast and solicited). I think the draft is fine, but the writeup is kind of strange as a result. draft-nordmark-6man-rs-refresh tackles a different problem, namely reducing multicast usage on multicast-capable links. (FYI I did not track these discussions in 6man at all.)
