Hi Magnus,
A few things to start with...
First, having only a little to do with the doc, on my noisy little house
line, I'm seeing an error rate of about 10^-7. It's not nothing, but
compared to the DOS attacks I receive, (the other 10^7) it's not what I
worry about ;-)
The first paragraph of Section 3.1 seems rather dated. Quoting a study
that took place 12 years ago relating to internal processing is probably
stretching it a bit. I'm not saying it never happens, but it seems to
be worth less text than you give it.
Section 4:
There is a style here to separate senders and receivers, but it's not
really called out. You could eliminate a good number of the bullets by
simply matching sender and receiver behavior in the same bullets.
1. Slight improvement on clarity:
OLD:
An IPv6 sending node MAY use a calculated RFC 2460 checksum for all
datagrams that it sends.
NEW:
An IPv6 sending node MAY calculate a checksum for all datagrams it
transmits, using the method described in Section 8.1 of [RFC2460].
(4) seems to require per-packet configuration. That wasn't your intent,
I'm sure. I think it's well covered by 3, and would suggest simply
remove it.
