Hello,

I have been selected as the Routing Directorate reviewer for this draft. The 
Routing Directorate seeks to review all routing or routing-related drafts as 
they pass through IETF last call and IESG review, and sometimes on special 
request. The purpose of the review is to provide assistance to the Routing ADs. 
For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see 
​http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir

Although these comments are primarily for the use of the Routing ADs, it would 
be helpful if you could consider them along with any other IETF Last Call 
comments that you receive, and strive to resolve them through discussion or by 
updating the draft.

Document: draft-ietf-opsec-urpf-improvements03.txt
Reviewer: Matthew Bocci
Review Date: 21 August 2019
Intended Status: Informational

Summary:
I have some minor concerns about this document that I think should be resolved 
before publication.


Comments:

Generally, I found the draft quite readable, with a clear explanation of the 
problem statements and solutions as well
as the trade-offs on the implementation. However, I have one minor comment and 
a nit.

Major Issues:

No major issues found.


Minor Issues:

Terminology: The document expands 'uRPF' as 'unicast reverse path filtering'. 
However, I
believe that uRPF commonly means 'unicast reverse path forwarding'   (see 
RFC3704 and
most vendor documentation). "Ingress filtering" is the general concept and 
"reverse path
 forwarding" the specific algorithm. Did the authors intend to use a new term, 
and if so why?


Nits:

Section 2.5: "...separate from the global Routing Information Base (RIB) 
[Juniper][RFC4364]."
VRFs are supported by most vendors so I think it is sufficient just to 
reference RFC4364.
