Routers SHOULD support the generic mobile IP requirements.


I think it would be better to replace the above with something like:

  Routers SHOULD support the router-specific extensions defined in
  Section 8.3 of MIPv6

Yes.


  The goal of this document is to define the set of functionality
  required for an IPv6 node; the functionality common to both hosts and
  routers.  Many IPv6 nodes will implement optional or additional


Sentence with semi-colon doesn't parse. :-(

Yes. "The goal of this document is to define the common functionality required from both IPv6 hosts and routers."

3.1 Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Ethernet Networks - RFC2464

  Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Ethernet Networks [RFC-2464] MUST
  be supported for nodes supporting Ethernet interfaces.


I don't quite like the way this (and subsequent) sentences is
worded. We don't want to  imply that nodes that support IPv4 over
Ethernet must also support this...

How about:

Nodes supporting IPv6 over Ethernet interfaces MUST implement
Transmission of IPv6 Packets over Ethernet Networks [RFC-2464].
same applies to remaining LL sub-sections.

Sounds better.


  IPv6 over ATM Networks [RFC2492] MUST be supported for nodes
  supporting ATM interfaces.  Additionally, the specification states:


what does "the specification" refer to? How about saying

Additionally, RFC 2492 states:

Right.

Yes.


Redirect functionionality SHOULD be supported. If the node is a

Speling is bad inteed.


  Nodes that are routers MUST be able to generate link local addresses
  as described in this specification.


"this specification" is ambiguious. Do you mean 2460?

Yes. s/this specification/RFC 2460 [RFC-2460]/


  If an application is going join any-source multicast, it SHOULD

Ok.


This document is currently being updated.


s/this document/RFC2893/

Ok.



7.3 Generic Packet Tunneling in IPv6 Specification - RFC2473


nit: indention is wrong on this heading.

Yes.



  3DES-CBC does not suffer from the issues related to DES-CBC. 3DES-CBC
  and ESP CBC-Mode Cipher Algorithms [RFC2451] MAY be supported. AES-
  128-CBC [ipsec-ciph-aes-cbc] MUST be supported, as it is expected to
  be a widely available, secure algorithm that is required for
  interoperability. It is not required by the current IPsec RFCs,
  however.


Perhaps add to last sentence, "but is expected to become required in
the future" ???

Ok.


   act as routers.  Currently, this section does not discuss routin-
   specific requirements.

Yes.


  At least the following two MIBs SHOULD be supported MIBs SHOULD be
  supported by nodes that support an SNMP agent.


duplicate words.

Yes. s/MIBs SHOULD be supported MIBs SHOULD be supported/MIBs SHOULD be supported/


10.1.1 IP Forwarding Table MIB

  Support for this MIB does not imply that IPv4 or IPv4 specific
  portions of this MIB be supported.


Which MIB is this? (No reference provided...)

Yes. Its [RFC-2096-BIS], I think.


10.1.2 Management Information Base for the Internet Protocol (IP)


Ditto.

Yes. [RFC-2011-BIS]
