Hello Éric,

Yes, that is the main initial trigger.
It helps also for peers, which use only temporary assigned IP-addresses
which may change (e.g during a power-saving-sleep-wake-up cycle in some
CAT-NB solutions). And there are also some advanced use-cases, e.g. CID
based load-balancer.

For your other points, Thomas created an issue on github
(https://github.com/tlswg/dtls-conn-id/issues/103). I left some comments
there.

best regards

COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the work put into this document. This specification addresses the
IPv4-mainly issue of NAT binding and is still required. I am also trusted the
security ADs for section 5.

Please find below some non-blocking COMMENT points (but replies would be
appreciated), and some nits.

I hope that this helps to improve the document,

Regards,

== COMMENTS ==

-- Abstract --
As an important part of this document is the padding, should it be mentioned
also in the abstract ?

-- Section 3 --
While I am not a DTLS expert, I find this section quite difficult to understand
the reasoning behind the specification as little explanations are given about,
e.g, what is the motivation of "A zero-length value indicates that the server
will send with the client's CID but does not wish the client to include a CID."

-- Section 6 --
I am puzzled by the text:
      "There is a strategy for ensuring that the new peer address is able
       to receive and process DTLS records.  No such strategy is defined
       in this specification."
Does this mean that there is no way to update the peer IP address ?

== NITS ==

-- Section 1 --
Please expand CID on first use outside of the abstract.

-- Section 4 --
Suggest to add a short paragraph as a preamble to figure 3. Currently, it looks
like figure 3 belongs to the 'zeros' field description.
