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 comments you may receive.
Summary:
This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should be
fixed before publication.
This is a reasonably well written short draft that injects randomness into
Teredo IPv6 address generation and deprecates the Teredo cone bit.
I found a few nits:
(1) The first nit is right at the start of the draft (!). This draft is
clearly intended to update RFC 4380, but "Updates: 4380" is missing from the
draft header on p.1. Please add that.
(2) Section 3.2 on p.6 uses the acronyms RA and RS - they need to be expanded
on first use.
(3) The first paragraph in the Security Considerations section (5) states the
goal of comparable address prediction resistance (security) wrt a host directly
attached to an untrusted Internet link, but nothing in the Security
Considerations section indicates how close the technique in this draft comes to
achieving that goal. I suggest adding a short discussion of how 13 random bits
compares with the level of randomness that can be expected from native IPv6
address assignment mechanisms.
(4) idnits 2.12.04 found four more nits that should be easy to address:
== You're using the IETF Trust Provisions' Section 6.b License Notice from
12 Sep 2009 rather than the newer Notice from 28 Dec 2009. (See
http://trustee.ietf.org/license-info/)
== No 'Intended status' indicated for this document; assuming Proposed
Standard
== The document seems to lack a disclaimer for pre-RFC5378 work, but was
first submitted before 10 November 2008. Should you add the disclaimer?
(See the Legal Provisions document at
http://trustee.ietf.org/license-info for more information.) -- however,
there's a paragraph with a matching beginning. Boilerplate error?
== Outdated reference: A later version (-02) exists of
draft-ietf-v6ops-tunnel-security-concerns-01
Thanks,
