I am in complete agreement with the points Tom has made.
AFAICT, the only new content in this draft is Section 4 - the rest is either
boilerplate or a repetition of text already present in RFC 5309 or RFC 8343.
Neither the Abstract nor the Introduction makes that clear.
The abstract actually claims to
"defines point-to-point interface type"
which is both FALSE (already defined in RFC 5309) and incorrectly named - since
the document is actually discussing "point-to-point operation over LAN".
Regarding the IANA section, it is clear that the draft is NOT creating new
entries - rather it is modifying existing entries. And it isn’t modifying the
code points, the names, or the descriptions - it only seeks to modify the
references to include "this document".
But the text in the IANA section states otherwise:
" IANA need to update the "Interface Types(ifType)" registry...with the
following status types"
I don’t know whether the content in Section 4 is sufficient to claim a
reference, but if it is it should only be in addition to the existing reference.
