Summary: This draft is on the right track but has open issues, described
in the review.
Major issues: While I don't have any problem with the technical contents
of the draft, I must say that the IANA Considerations section is almost
nonexistent and not acceptable.
First, the draft should clearly identify the registry where IANA has to
act. I am assuming that this registry is:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ianaippmmetricsregistry-mib
But please note that it is not allowed to refer to registries by URI. So,
the draft should refer to the registry by name, which seems to be "IPPM
Metrics Registry MIB". Notice the "MIB" added at the end, which is
currently missing in the document.
Second, the draft has to list literally all the data that IANA has to
include in the registry. This exercise is not done, and I believe IANA
does not have the capability to do it. Since the registry where new
values have to be added was created by RFC 4148, and since that RFC
contains a template for IANA registration of extensions (see Section 5.2
in RFC 4148), the draft must do the exercise of listing the data to be
added to the registry according to that template.
Third, remove the following sentence from the IANA Considerations section:
This section can be removed
after this has been done and upon publication as a RFC.
This is because the IANA Considerations section is always preserved after
publication of the document.
