Suresh, Check that my comments are refering to the right text, the formatting is off on your mail, so I had a hard time parsing some of your comments.
For many of the MAYs, my opinion is that if we don't say anything about it, people will ask if these features are required or not. I think this should only be covering IPv6 related technology, and not other things (like SIP, HTTP, etc.) >Section 4.1 "the forwarding functionality MAY be supported." >while there is a router section at the end where we can make >this a MUST I think we would need to get the text ray. > MAY for Jumbograms See above. > MAY for stateful DHCP - switch >to MUST use DHCP if stateful address configuration is desired Do OS vendors know if statefull address config is desired or not? Thomas a while ago suggested putting in some clarifying text to cover why such Features might be useful to include. >Remove IPv6 nodes MAY support IPv4 - This is so obvious and >hence does not belong. As opposed to what? "IPv6 nodes MUST >NOT support IPv4?" Actually, I had some comments off-line comments asking me (from non IETFers) if it was allowed to support IPv4 on an IPv6 compliant device. I think it is fine to be a bit more explicit on this, especially because I have found this document to be read by a lot of people who are not directly involved in the IETF. >MAY for mobility mn functionality and HA functionality - >switch to MUST if these functionalities are desired What do you mean by this? I think saying it is MUST if they are desired is circular logic, not providing > Remove >network management from the list if MAYs. This adds nothing There was some discussion about this during initial work, what does the working group think of this? >I also feel strongly that the algorithm requirements for IPSec >(MAY for some of them) don't necessarily belong here I believe much of this came from the security area, so I think we need to check with this.
