Here are my comments:

- Is Section 1.2 necessary?  None of these terms are used in this fashion 
in this document.
- page 8, "sees an new" => "sees a new"
- page 8, "in the Section 8" => "in Section 8"
- page 12, excessive space in "i.e.  UDP encapsulated"; perhaps replace 
with comma.
- page 16, "with a new SA which needs heuristics" => "produces a new SA 
which needs heuristics and will benefit from the existing flows".
- page 21, "things what needs" => "things that need"
- page 21, suggest "optimize things" => "optimize steps", just to reduce 
repetition
- page 21, "For example implementation" => "For example, implementations"
- page 25, I believe that DES-MAC has a 64-bit ICV (FIPS 113) and KPDK has 
a 128-bit ICV (RFC 1828).
- page 30, for tunnel mode checks it might be worth just mentioning that 
tunnel mode is inferred by protocol 4 for IPv4 and protocol 41 for IPv6.

At a high level the pseudocode seems ok to me, although there is a lot of 
mutual interaction between these functions due to the global state, so it 
can certainly benefit from as much scrutiny as possible.

Overall I approve of this document.

[IPsec] WG last call: draft-ietf-ipsecme-esp-null-heuristics-01



This is to begin a 2 week working group last call for 
draft-ietf-ipsecme-esp-null-heuristics-01. The target status for this 
document is Informational.

Please send your comments to the ipsec list by Oct. 1, 2009, as follow-ups 
to this message.

Note that this document has had very little review until now. We will only 
progress it as a WG document if we have at least 3 non-editor, non-WG 
chair reviewers who have read it and approve of it. And yes, this means 
the pseudocode, too. There has been strong support of ESP-null detection, 
so this document is likely to be widely implemented. Your review will mean 
a lot to the technical quality of this document.

Please clearly indicate the position of any issue in the Internet Draft, 
and if possible provide alternative text. Please also indicate the nature 
or severity of the error or correction, e.g. major technical, minor 
technical, nit, so that we can quickly judge the extent of problems with 
the document.

The document can be accessed here:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ipsecme-esp-null-heuristics-01

Thanks,
            Yaron
