In section 6,
service (DoS) attack. In some case the source ports used byI suggest the author intended either 'in some cases' or 'in one case', and I would like to submit my claim at this time for the "Joe Abley's Typographical Error of the Year" trophy. I note that the document has failed to capture the angst and bitterness of the authors' cumulative lifetimes spent answering phonecalls from people who think as112 is 'haxing their base'. This is a feature. I am concerned that the document as read is appropriate for an IETF audience, rather than the target audience (people who think they are under attack). The ~16 year old voice-cracking operator of a network of several hundred desktops in Dallas I spoke with most recently would not get past page 1 before being distracted, and most certainly would not be able to read the 4 options described in section 7 and understand that the draft is actually recommending only one of them, and not the first one. Or maybe I don't give him enough credit. Anyway, the point is I'm not really sure this is something I would have used to explain the situation when I did field those phonecalls. It's quicker to give the short explanation, using small words, than to field a second phonecall later. I certainly would have been able to use this as additional information to support may 'claims' that I am not a 'hax', but would still have done the usual "here's what's wrong, and here's how to fix it" spiel. Honestly, the biggest timesink in these calls is just getting the caller to stop talking long enough to answer. One major point about prisoner.iana.org (covered in the other as112-ops document) is that people who complain about prisoner.iana.org are sending what is coloquially referred to (among the target audience) as 'updates', not 'queries'. I think this point is missing from this document (or I missed it), and without it I don't think the target audience can be convinced that they are doing something to cause the responses from prisoner. But, there is nothing factually wrong in this document, and my opinion of it is positive overall. I recognize that the above are matters of personal preference or taste, and would not be moved to object if the authors disagree. -- David W.
