I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for this draft. The General Area Review Team (Gen-ART) reviews all IETF documents being processed by the IESG for the IETF Chair. Please treat these comments just like any other last call comments. For more information, please see the FAQ at <https://trac.ietf.org/trac/gen/wiki/GenArtfaq>. Document: draft-ietf-v6ops-unique-ipv6-prefix-per-host-?? Reviewer: Joel Halpern Review Date: 2017-04-13 IETF LC End Date: None IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat Summary: This document is almsot ready for publication as an RFC. Major issues: N/A Minor issues: The proposed status seems questionable. We as a community are not recommending that operators assign unique prefixes to hosts. This document is saying "if you want to do that, here is a way, using existing tools, to make that work." The document also recommends specific setting of other flags (the O flag in the RA, for example) that are not closely coupled to the particular topic. This looks like an ordinary Informational RFC. I would have no concern with this being published with that label. Nits/editorial comments: As per the nits checker, the document uses RFC 2119 terminology. The usage seems quite appropriate. The document should therefore cite RFC 2119. Also, as per the nits checker, the document references RFC 6106. It should reference RFC 8106.
