Hello Pascal, While preparing my shepherd write-up for the 6lo fragment recovery draft, I noticed one minor detail that I would like to bring to your attention.
In -05, draft-ietf-lwig-6lowpan-virtual-reassembly was added as a reference. I think it is a bit odd that this document is mentioned for the first time only at the end of the Security considerations section (note that this reference is in fact a normative reference). My proposal is updating the second paragraph of Section 1, and the last paragraph of Section 2.4, so that draft-ietf-lwig-6lowpan-virtual-reassembly is also introduced there. For example, for Section 2.4, it could be something along the lines of: CURRENT: "LLN Minimal Fragment Forwarding" [I-D.ietf-6lo-minimal-fragment] introduces the concept of a Virtual Reassembly Buffer (VRB) and an associated technique to forward fragments as they come, using the datagram_tag as a label in a fashion similar to MPLS. This specification reuses that technique with slightly modified controls. NEW: "LLN Minimal Fragment Forwarding" [I-D.ietf-6lo-minimal-fragment] introduces the concept of a Virtual Reassembly Buffer (VRB) and an associated technique to forward fragments as they come, using the datagram_tag as a label in a fashion similar to MPLS. The technique is described in [I-D.ietf-lwig-6lowpan-virtual-reassembly]. This specification reuses that technique with slightly modified controls. .... and something similar might work also for Section 1. What do you think? Thanks, Carles (as the document shepherd) _______________________________________________ 6lo mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6lo
