Authors and AD*,
*AD, please see #1 below.
Authors, while reviewing this cluster of documents*, please reply to
the questions below regarding consistency across the cluster. These
questions are in addition to the document-specific questions sent
for each RFC-to-be. Your reply will likely impact two or more of the
documents in the cluster, so please discuss off-list as necessary,
and then let us know how to proceed. Note - You have the option of
updating the edited XML files yourself, if you prefer. We will wait
to hear from you before continuing with the publication process.
* Cluster 541 (C541) currently in AUTH48 state:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9892.html
https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9893.html
https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9894.html
https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9895.html
(In addition, the .pdf, .txt, .xml, and diff files are available.)
You may track the progress of all documents in this cluster through
AUTH48 at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/auth48/C541
1) *AD - We are sorry to hear of the passing of David Wiggins and
Stan Ratliff. David is listed as an author for RFCs-to-be 9892,
9893, 9894, and 9895 (all documents in the cluster). Stan is listed
as an author for RFC-to-be 9893.
As AD, please confirm that you will approve the documents on behalf
of David and Stan. (Note: Any of the three options at
https://www.rfc-editor.org/faq/#missingauthor are acceptable.)
2) FYI - We updated "DiffServ" to "Diffserv" throughout the cluster
per https://www.rfc-editor.org/rpc/wiki/doku.php?id=terms. If no
objections, we will ask IANA to update the following descriptions
prior to publication.
Link to registry group: https://www.iana.org/assignments/dlep-parameters
"Traffic Classification Sub-Data Item Type Values" registry
(draft-ietf-manet-dlep-traffic-classification):
OLD:
DiffServ Traffic Classification
NEW:
Diffserv Traffic Classification
"Extension Type Values" registry (draft-ietf-manet-dlep-da-credit-extension):
OLD:
DiffServ Aware Credit Window
NEW:
Diffserv Aware Credit Window
I think these updates to only an initial captial letter are fine and
result in conformance to RFC Editor defaults.
3) We see "Credit window control" (beginning of sentence, so the "C" is
capitalized) but "credit-window scheme". We suggest updating to "credit window
scheme" (no hyphen).
OK with me.
4) Do "credit window control" (approx. 24 instances in cluster) and "credit
window flow control" (3 instances in cluster) mean the same thing? Will the
interchangeable usage of these terms - or the distinction between the two -
be clear to readers?
Yes, I would say they mean the same thing in these documents. "credit
window flow control" is just a more complete term and if there are
seveal uses in the same paragraph or the like, it is reasonable to use
the more complete term initially and the shortened term subsequently.
5) We see both "Type Value" and "Type value" in running text. Which
form is preferred?
Some examples:
"Message Type value" in draft-ietf-manet-dlep-credit-flow-control
"DLEP Extension Type Value" in
draft-ietf-manet-dlep-da-credit-extension and
draft-ietf-manet-dlep-ether-credit-extension
"DiffServ Aware Credit Window Type Value" in
draft-ietf-manet-dlep-da-credit-extension
"IEEE 802.1Q Aware Credit Window Type Value" in
draft-ietf-manet-dlep-ether-credit-extension
I am inclined to capitalize Value.
6) 'Rick Taylor's "Data Item Containers"' is only mentioned in the
Acknowledgments sections of two of the four documents in this group
(draft-ietf-manet-dlep-traffic-classification and
draft-ietf-manet-dlep-da-credit-extension). Would you like to add the
applicable sentence to the Acknowledgments sections of
draft-ietf-manet-dlep-credit-flow-control and
draft-ietf-manet-dlep-ether-credit-extension as well?
Yes, I think it would be reasonable and consistant to add that
sentence to the Acknowledgements sections of the other two
drafts. They all mention Data Items.
Thanks,
Donald
