The document does not clearly define how the address space will be managed.
This might end up being problematic in future.
In Section 4:
"Too guarantee reachability from the Legacy Internet the prefix could"
There is a typo for "Too".
thanks, will fix.
In Section 6:
"It is suggested to IANA to temporarily avoid allocating any
other address block the same /12 prefix the EID /16 prefix
belongs to. This is to accommodate future requests of EID
space without fragmenting the EID addressing space."
Shouldn't that be under IANA Considerations?
Well, if we go along that road we should put the whole document in a single
"IANA Considerations" Section. ;-)
Actually the current IANA Considerations section states the same request but
does not specify "/12".
You are right that it should be clearly stated, to make the document coherent.
Will fix. thanks
"If in the future there will be need for a larger EID Block the
address space adjacent the EID Block could be allocate by IANA
according to the current policies."
Which policies does the above refer to?
It refers to the IANA allocation policies. May be it could be changed in the
following way:
If in the future there will be need for a larger EID Block the
address space adjacent the EID Block could be allocate by IANA
according to its current allocation policies."
Would that work?
In Section 10:
"This document instructs the IANA to assign a /16 IPv6 prefix for use
as the global LISP EID space using a hierarchical allocation as
outlined in [RFC5226]."
Who will be the delegated managers?
I agree that this point has been not discussed thoroughly, the idea is not to
create any new "manager", rather to make ISPs (or whoever interested in
deploying LISP) to request an EID address sub-block as they do with usual
prefixes.
"Following the policies outlined in [RFC5226], such space
will be assigned only upon IETF Review."
Well, this is standard, to have a reserved space we have to go through the (now
called) "IETF Review", which is what we are doing ;-)
ciao

The previous sentence mentions hierarchical allocation and the above sentence
mentions IETF Review. It is not clear how assignments from this space will
be made.
