Document: draft-ietf-pim-ipv6-zeroconf-assignment-12 Reviewer: Peter Yee Review Date: 2026-10-05 IETF LC End Date: 2026-10-06 IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat Summary: This draft is well written, specifying a means of using mDNS in the dynamic assignment of IPv6 multicast addresses. While I have no major issues with the document, I do have some questions that I’ve noted as minor issues. [Ready with issues] Major issues: None Minor issues: Page 6, section 2.7, 2nd sentence: How does the host network stack notify the application that a multicast Ethernet/IPv6 address has been detected? NK> This is an implementation detail, but many mDNS implementations use APIs where the caller provides a callback to execute when a given action is complete. With the mdns-zeroconf-mcast proof-of-concept mentioned in §7, Avahi gives a callback on line 113 that indicates the address registration was successful (https://github.com/nkarstens/mdns-zeroconf-mcast/blob/5478b2dd7325a7384fcc0b10ec191501b8c9e376/mdns-zeroconf-mcast.c#L113). Page 8, 1st paragraph: Some network infrastructure components are not capable of publishing veto records. The example component given in section 3.1, 1st paragraph is a network switch, which might not have a network stack above layer 2. NK> Practically speaking, switches that support multicast snooping need to be managed switches, with their own host. Nits/editorial comments: General: It would be better to use a section number or a combination of section number and section name for links because not all RFC formats support hyperlinks, and it may not be obvious that a capitalized section name in a sentence is supposed to indicate a link. I notice this because I review using the text version of the draft. Obviously, this doesn't matter when using the HTML version. Specific: Page 4, last paragraph before section 2.1: change the colon to a period. NK> Done! Page 10, section 5.1, 2nd paragraph, 1st sentence: change “signficant” to “significant”. NK> Done! _______________________________________________ pim mailing list -- [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any attachments are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and contain information that may be Garmin confidential and/or Garmin legally privileged.
