Hi, Vijay,
Thanks so much for your feedback! -- Please find my response inline...
Fernando: Please see inline on those comments that require
a follow-up from me.
2) S3.5.1, top of end of page 16 and top of page 17 --- "Linux (and
Solaris) later set the IP Identification field on a per-IP address
basis." Which address --- source or destination?
"destination" -- although "per-remote IP address" would probably be more
correct clearer here. Thoughts?
"per remote-IP address" or "per peer address" sounds reasonable.
6) S3.7 --- when discussing the Fragment Offset, is it worth
stating that the Fragment Offset is measured in units of 8 octets
(thereby giving the magic number 65528 = 8191*8)?
This *is* mentioned in the first paragraph of Section 3.7, as follows:
---- cut here ----
It indicates where in the original datagram payload
the payload of the fragment belongs, and is measured in units of
eight bytes.
---- cut here ----
So I assume no changes needed here?
Well, following the principle of being explicit with magic numbers
dictates that 65528 be explained. Something like the following may
help in being more explicit:
s/an offset 65528 bytes/an offset 65528 (8191*8) bytes/
Thanks for entertaining my rather late review.
Ciao,
