Thank Thomas for your reply. Re-reading the end of the section 6 gives indeed some insights on the overall process, which I failed to understand at first reading. May I suggest to complement the last bullet as " defined in this specification but relies on the application using DTLS" ?
Hope this helps -éric -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Fossati <[email protected]> Date: Monday, 19 April 2021 at 11:16 To: Eric Vyncke <[email protected]>, The IESG <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, Joseph Salowey <[email protected]>, Thomas Fossati <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Éric Vyncke's No Objection on draft-ietf-tls-dtls-connection-id-11: (with COMMENT) Hi Éric, Thank you very much for your review, there's now a ticket to track it here: https://github.com/tlswg/dtls-conn-id/issues/103 Re: > -- 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, it means that we delegate the application using DTLS to do the Validation (*). Specifically, the DTLS API on the receiver must be able to: (1) forward the "peer address update" signal to the application so that it can carry out validation of the new address using some minimal application traffic exchange (e.g., CoAP has the Echo option for that purpose); (2) update the new address if requested by the application - in case the action triggered by (1) is successful in confirming that the new address is effectively the known peer. This should be already captured in the penultimate paragraph of Section 6. If that is not the case, could you suggest text to improve it? Cheers, thanks! (*) Note that an in-protocol solution [1] has been proposed but it is not (yet) adopted.
