Hi,
I will leave only the items that needed my response
7. In section 3.4 “If the client decided to use the prefix provided
by the server despite being longer than the prefix-length hint” yet I
did not see in section 3.2 that the server can provide a longer
prefix.
[Tianxiang] This was mentioned in the last sentence of section 3.2:
"If the requested prefix is not available in the server's prefix pool, and
the client also included a prefix-length hint in the same IA_PD option,
then the server SHOULD try to provide a prefix matching the prefix-length
value, or the prefix with the shortest length possible which is closest to
the prefix-length hint value."
*[Roni Even] I understood from 3.2 that it should provide a shorter length
prefix closer to the request maybe “*or the prefix with the closest
possible length to the prefix-length hint value”
[Tianxiang2] The original sentence was a bit confusing, perhaps we could
change it like this:
OLD: "If the requested prefix is not available in the server's prefix
pool, and the client also included a prefix-length hint in the same IA_PD
option, then the server SHOULD try to provide a prefix matching the
prefix-length value, or the prefix with the shortest length possible which
is closest to the prefix-length hint value."
NEW:"If the requested prefix is not available in the server's prefix pool,
and the client also included a prefix-length hint in the same IA_PD option,
then the server SHOULD provide a prefix matching the prefix-length hint, or
a prefix which is length is shorter and as close as possible to the
prefix-length hint. If the server could not provide a prefix which length
is shorter or equal to the prefix-length hint, the server SHOULD provide
the prefix which length is longer and as close as possible to the
prefix-length hint."
*[Roni Even] I have no problem with this text since it will also work with
the rest of the document but is it what was really meant*
[Tianxiang3] This was the intended meaning of the original sentence, if the
server could not honor the hint, it should provide a prefix closest to the
hint, the client could then decide whether to accept or neglect this prefix.
*Also a nit*
“or a prefix which is length is shorter and as close as possible to the
prefix-length hint. If the server could not provide a prefix which length
is shorter or equal to the prefix-length hint, the server SHOULD provide
the prefix which length is longer and as close as possible to the
prefix-length hint”
to
“or a prefix whose length is shorter and as close as possible to the
prefix-length hint. If the server could not provide a prefix with a shorter
or equal length to the prefix-length hint, the server SHOULD provide a
prefix whose length is longer and as close as possible to the prefix-length
hint”
[Tianxiang3] Thanks for the suggestion, we will edit this sentence
accordingly.
