Here are some additional review comments from various IESG reviewers:

> RFC 3155 should be added to the normative refs in my
> opinion.  I'm not opposed to keeping the non-normative
> ref to the 2.5/3G TCP issues draft that started me on
> this.

Another reviewer:

> Comments on draft-ietf-ipv6-cellular-host-02.txt

> 2.4.1 says that the host must support receipt of
> Neighbor Solicitation and Advertisement messages.
> But 2.5.1 says "will not be sent or received" which might seem
> conflicting at least with respect to the receive part.

> DAD for 3041 addresses?
> Will the router only have a link-local address on the link?
> If not, how to detect a 3041 conflicting with one of the routers
> addresses?

> 2.12 - 3041 MAY be used. Do we want something stronger?

> MLD:
>    multicast services. There is no need for MLD if the host only 
>    supports the well-known (hard coded in IPv6 implementations) link 
>    local multicast addresses. MLD is not used for listening on such 
>    addresses. 
> Only applies to all-nodes address (ff02::1). 
> RFC2461 says that a node must join
> the solicited-node multicast address(es) on multicast-capable interface,
> and point-to-point interface are specifically treated as
>      point-to-point - Neighbor Discovery handles such links just like
>                       multicast links.
>

> by cellular hosts.

> This also effects the need to support RFC2711 (section 2.10).

> 2.11
>    (IPv4 vs. IPv6). Cellular hosts should not support configured or 
>    automatic tunnels to avoid unnecessary tunneling over the air 
>    interface, unless there are no other mechanisms available. Tunneling 
>    can lead to poor usage of available bandwidth. 

> The bandwidth concern is a reason not to *use* tunneling, but

> seems to mean "should not implement".
> Same issue for section 2.13 on 6to4 tunneling.

> 2.15: and all useful hosts have at least a link-local address
> and a larger scope address. So why not say "must be supported"
> instead of qualifying it with a tautology?

> 2.16 - add reference to RFC 3152. RFC 1886 talks about ip6.int
> thus the ip6.arpa document must be referenced.

> Section 3 - how about adding that future IPsec algoritms might be
> useful/supported in the future.
> Currently only DES, HMAC-MD5, and HMAC-SHA1 are listed.

More comments:

> AES is coming, should be supported in fugure. Mention this?

> The docuent is vague on key management. It basically doesn't say what

> kind of interoperability will be achieved.

> If AKA is the solution, then this needs to be made more clear in the

> theme for 3GPP?

> What is needed is a clear statement on how interoperability with
> regards to key management will be obtained. If this is not actually

> The document lists 7 authors. This number is considered on the high
