Hi Samu,

thanks for revising the draft. There are still a few things that need to
be fixed before I can request its publication. From the output of the
nits tool:

https://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits?url=https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-hip-rfc6253-bis-04.txt

You need to add an Obsoletes: header to the header part at the beginning
of the draft. Additionally, you also need to add an Updates header as
follows:

  Obsoletes: 6253
  Updates: 7401

Note that the original RFC updated RFC 5201 and, thus, had an Updates
header:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6253

You are the same authors as in the original RFC. Do you both agree to
remove the disclaimer?

Does this reference need to be removed or used somewhere in the text?

RFC 6232bis is intended to be a Proposed Standard. Can we reference a
Standards Track RFC instead of this one? Otherwise, we will need to talk
with our AD so make sure it is OK to normatively reference an
Experimental RFC.

>   ** Obsolete normative reference: RFC 4843 (Obsoleted by RFC 7343)
>   ** Obsolete normative reference: RFC 5996 (Obsoleted by RFC 7296)

Could you please update the two references above?

>   ** Downref: Normative reference to an Experimental RFC: RFC 6253

This downref is obviously OK... but what about making it an
Informational reference instead?

Could you please revise the draft addressing all the comments above?

Thanks,

Gonzalo
