Hi Tom,

your changes are fine, thanks for the quick response.

Hi,

I read through ietf-hip-rfc5206-bis-10, and it is in pretty good shape.

I think simultaneous mobility is covered as already mentioned in the intro?

Fixed

(I would add that the return routability test should be invoked to the
end-host's addresses rather than the ones in VIA_RVS)

I added another numbered item:

           An initiator receiving a VIA_RVS in the UPDATE reply should
           initiate address reachability tests (described later in this
           document) towards the end host's address and not towards the
           address included in the VIA_RVS.

(Maybe this should have been actually step 0)

It really should not be in the sequential list; I moved it outside of the list.

This was a bit vague, how?

Here is how I clarified it; do you agree?

           According to procedures described in [I-D.ietf-hip-rfc5203-bis],
           if a mobile host
           has an active registration, it may use mobility updates specified
           herein, within the context of that association, to readdress the
           association.

...and?

added " , and  procedures described herein also apply to notify a peer of
         a changed address."

I suggest would move the second paragraph after the third one.

OK

Reference section 5.6?

OK

What do you mean by "including those on SAs..."?

This is related to multihoming and can be deleted here.

Please add a paragraph break here.

OK

assodiated -> associated

Please add a paragraph break here.

OK

draft -> document

OK
