Document: draft-ietf-6man-icmpv6-reflection-11 Reviewer: Thomas Fossati Review Date: 2025-10-15 IETF LC End Date: 2025-10-26 IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat Summary: This document is well-written and explains how the ICMPv6 Reflection utility works. Thank you, editors and 6man WG. Major issues: Unless I am wrong, the IANA requests made in Figure 2 [1] don't match the referenced registry structure [2]. [1] https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-6man-icmpv6-reflection-11.html#figure-2 [2] https://www.iana.org/assignments/icmp-parameters/icmp-parameters.xhtml#icmp-parameters-ext-classes This should be easy to fix. (As an example, see [3].) [3] https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-intarea-extended-icmp-nodeid-04.html#section-6 Minor issues: The ICMPv6 Reflection utility is defined as an "[IPv6] diagnostic tool". Is there any implementation of such utility? If there is, please list it as specified in BCP 205. I read the relevant section of the Shepherd's write-up, but I couldn't find a completely clear answer. Since this is a Standards Track document, it is important that the existance of implementations is documented. Nits/editorial comments: I'm not sure what this means: "The main body of the ICMPv6 Extended Echo Reply message reflects the status of an interface on the probed node." It doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the paragraph. _______________________________________________ Gen-art mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
