Carlos,

Thank you for taking the time to review and for your valuation comments. These 
comments are very helpful to enable the following corrections made in version 
06. If there are further comments or if any of the corrections are not good 
enough, please let me know. 

Revised introduction in attempt to stand out the scope of the document.

Deleted slice

Deleted SHOULD

Deleted in Introduction references to terms defined in Section 2.

Changed "IP prefix/address anchoring" to "Anchoring (of IP prefix/address)"

Revised text about LM in Section 2.

Deleted mentioning of "Mobility controller" which is not defined in this draft

Deleted "Security management" and revised affected texts in other sections.

Corrected Typo

Revised Figure 1 and the associated texts in attempt to simplify the figure and 
to better explain the figure. Other figures are then built upon the style of 
Figure 1 with some more explanations then in prior versions. Figures 2, 3, 4 
are simplified.

Corrected that IPn1 is delegated to MNN.

In section 3.2.2, deleted all other different approaches to update forwarding 
tables, leaving only the possibility to update forwarding tables in SDN 
network, which may be using signaling in the cpdp draft. 

Deleted FM-state:1 

Deleted FR-mr:2  

Added references to a number of example dmm solutions that had been proposed in 
this dmm wg.

Subject: Re: Distributed Mobility Anchoring - Draft Review Request

Hi Anthony, all,

Again, apologies for my belated review. Please find below my comments.

- Overall, I think the draft is hard to read/follow. Part of this comes from 
the fact of the extensive use of acronyms. But I think this is not the only 
reason. I think it is not clear if the document is specifying a solution or 
just presenting the scenarios and challenges derived from having multiple 
distributed anchors.

- Related to the former comment. What is the scope of the document? If it is 
about defining solutions, the document is far from achieving that (and it is 
classified as informational). If the idea is to explore this problem, then I 
think the scope should be clarified and I'd suggest to narrow it down 
(currently the document addresses too many things and make it hard to follow).

- Why is the document referring to network slices? I see that awkward.
The definition of slice is not yet very clear and in any case, is there 
anything in the document that is slice-specific? Unless it is the case, one 
could claim that most of the IETF protocols would apply to a "network or a 
network slice", but this is not explicitly stated.

- The document make use of RFC2119 terminology, but I don't think this is fine. 
The document is informational (this alone does not prevent using RFC2119 
terminology, but I don't see the need). Besides, one "SHOULD" appears in the 
introduction, which in general is not a normative section of a draft.

- It would be better if the introduction does not use terms that are 
introduced/enumerated in the Conventions and Terminology section.

- The text about "IP prefix/address anchoring" in Section 2 is not really a 
definition.

- The text about "Location Management (LM) function" in Section 2 is not clear.

- There is no definition/reference to the term "Mobility controller".

- What is DMM specific of the "Security Management (SM) function"? To me, this 
is as in any mobility protocol, so I don't see why a document about distributed 
anchorning has to define a "new" function.

- Weird writing: "The CPA may co-locate with DPA or may separate".

- Typo? "for use by AN MN". I guess it should be "for use by an MN".

- Figure 1 is not very easy to follow. I have to admit that I have been having 
difficulties with this type of figure since they started to be used.

- When discussing the scenarios with network mobility, it is mentioned that "An 
IP prefix/address IPn1 anchored to the MR is assigned for use by the MNN in the 
mobile network." In my opinion, the prefix is delegated to the MR for use, but 
it is not anchored to the MR, as the MR may move and the address can only be 
topologically valid at one location.

- In Section 3.2.2, there are different approaches mentioned to update 
forwarding tables (basically to allow a change of anchor). There have been many 
discussion in the past about this, with no consensus at all on the feasibility 
of using any of this slides (routing based) on scalable scenarios (its 
applicability seems to be limited to very specific scenarios). Moreover, there 
are important security and scalability implications on this type of solution, 
so I'd not include this in the draft. I think there is no Internet-wide 
scalable solution that enables switching an anchor in the middle of a session.

- FM-state:1 introduces a lot of complexity, for a problem that it is already 
quite complex. Do we need to go into this?

- FR-mr:2 reminds me a lot about Route Optimization for NEMO, which never took 
off at IETF mainly because of security issues and complexity. I think this 
would require quite a lot of work to be properly done in DMM.

- The security considerations section does not really explain what are the 
issues and how to solve them. It just moves all the complexity to the so-called 
SM function.

- With the fair disclaimer that I might not be objective here, I think the 
document misses quite a lot of existing works (even as active IETF
drafts) proposing solutions for the distribution of mobility anchors.

To sum-up, I think the draft is not yet ready for IETF LC.

Thanks,

Carlos
