Hi, I've volunteered in Philly to do a review of the response size drafts - i have seperated my comments into "content" and "nits" issues.
content ------- - The first sentence in 2.1 should probably start with "A positive delegation response.." because a negative response could for example also include a SOA RR in the Authority section. - In 2.2, there is some redundancy about the importance of zone reachability by all IP protocols in common use. There are two almost identical sentences about this in the third paragraph (although one of them says "should" while the other says it's "important to ensure"). I suggest removing one of those sentences. - In 2.3, i'd suggest changing the first sentence of the last paragraph into "If any 'necessary' content cannot be fit... " instead of " .. is not able to fill in.." - at least to me that would be more clear. - I wonder whether 2.3 should include some text suggesting that the preference of A vs. AAAA records could also depend on the transport protocol over which the query was received? At first glance, it would make more sense to prefer AAAA records in the additional section if the query itself was received via IPv6, and prefer A records if the query was received over IPv4? I haven't looked into more detail regarding this, though. - I have really a hard time understanding the last paragraph of Section 4. It might be me, but i can't grasp what this paragraph intends to say. Nits ---- the online idnits checker reports a few issues - it complains about the GTLD-SERVERS and ROOT-SERVERS domains, and the associated IP addresses. However, i guess that it would not make much sense to change those "special" domain names into example.com (i think it is clear from the purpose of the document, too) I found a couple of acronyms that are neither on the RFC editors "well known" list nor expanded / referenced anywhere in the document. Those include "EDNS", "RRset", "CNAME", "DNAME", "RRs". I'm missing a ToC (although i know it's not required, i'd appreciate one). Section 1 (Introduction) contains just one subsection (1.1 Introduction and Overview). I suggest removing the sub-section title, and probably changing the Title of section one into "Introduction and Overview", if desired. that's all i found -- cheers Alex _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
