A. Lindem and J. Arkko, Some feedback on this draft. In section 5:
"5. OSPFv3 Router ID Selection A pseudo-random number SHOULD be used for the OSPFv3 Router ID." I think it would be valuable to describe why a pseudo-random number should be chosen. The [OSPFv3] document doesn't make any reference to selecting a pseudo-random number, so it would be good to justify the reasoning. Something along the lines of: "The router id in OSPFv3 is a 32-bit value [OSPFv3]. As outlined in [OSPFv3], a router running OSPFv3 may not have an IPv4 address to automatically select as the router id. Since auto-configuration cannot guarantee a unique router id as outlined in [OSPFv3], a pseudo-random router id is the solution for OSPFv3 autoconfiguration to prevent router id collision." Also, there's a small formatting error. Section 7.2 and 7.4 are not marked correctly as headers. Regards, Rama -- ----- Rama Darbha rama.h.dar...@gmail.com 919 410 7262
