Please resolve these comments along with any other Last Call comments you may receive. Document: draft-ietf-kitten-aes-cts-hmac-sha2-10 Reviewer: Vijay K. Gurbani Review Date: Jul-29-2016 IETF LC End Date: Jul-20-2016 IESG Telechat date: Unknown This document is ready as an Informational. Major: 0 Minor: 2 Nits: 1 Minor: - S3, top of page 4, while defining "context": What is the format of this optional string: is it comma separated? Or does it not matter because the byte-string in context is supposed to be an opaque label? I ask because the byte-string can contain multiple values (identities of parties, nonce, etc.); consequently, how does a receiver know where one value ended and another one began. I realize that when "context" is used for key derivation in the KDF, individual elements of the "context" does not matter; but since the text makes the point that "context" may include "identities of parties who are deriving and/or using the derived key material...", it seems appropriate that the recipient know what separates the ID from the nonce. - S3, middle of page 4: "When the encryption type is aes128-cts-hmac-sha256-128, k must be no greater than 256." 256 what? Bits (I believe). Similarly for 384. Better to be complete. Nits: - S1, second paragraph: "...but do not use the simplified profile." Any insight into why simplified profile is not used may be helpful to the reader for the sake of completeness. (Of course, if the reasons that the simplified profile is not being used are blatantly obvious to practicioners in this field, then don't worry about this comment. But if not, it may help.)

Pierre: Thank you for attending to my comment. More inline. On 07/02/2016 03:30 PM, Pierre-Anthony Lemieux wrote: Hi Vijay, I appreciate the review and comment. That is, are the schemes (urn, eidr) part of the case-insensitive string match? Yes, it looks like "Lexical equivalence of EIDR-URN is defined by case-insensitive string match." should say "Lexical equivalence of URN-EIDR is defined by case-insensitive string match." This would confirm that the entire URN-EIDR string defined in "Declaration of syntactic structure" is considered for matching, including "urn:eidr:". I will appreciate if the "including 'urn:eidr:'" part made it into the draft. Implementers have varying level understanding as they attempt to divine RFC text. So to the extent that we can make our intent explicit with a few additional strokes of the pen (or the keyboard), we are all the more better off for it. Cheers, - vijay -- Vijay K.

Surely we don't want to exclude these in the future. My suggestion would be to simply take out the phrase "among humans" Hi Vijay, Ben: Thank you for considering my comments. Inline, please. Actually, the "human" part was intentional. RFC5727 was primarily about technologies for human communication. Certainly some of those technologies may be dual use (e.g. XMPP, SIP-Events), but the reason they were historically in the RAI area is that the primary use cases under consideration involved humans, or supported those that did. I suspect that your view as an AD may be more nuanced than mine, but I must admit that I am not entirely comfortable with limiting ART to "human communications", as would be implied by the text as currently written. Certainly nothing in rfc3261 explicitly limits communications to humans. Those boundaries are more blurred now since the merger of APP and RAI into ART. But 5727 was primarily about the SIP change process. That text in section 1 is intended to describe the scope of 5727, and in section 3 to describe the subset of ART wgs that historically would have been considered RAI. (I do note the use of RAI that probably needs to be fixed, or at least put into past tense.) I believe that dropping the phrase "among humans" from the paragraph does not impact any aspect that at least I can observe, and may indeed have the benefit that no one in the future will claim that SIP cannot be used for m2m communications because of the limiting phrase.

What is the "web infrastructure"? How is it defined? What does it mean to be compatible with it? Perhaps you meant that the PPSP TP is a request- response protocol, which characterizes many "web protocols"? - S3.2.5, Table 4: "available_bandwidth | Upstream Bandwidth available" is this provisioned upload bandwidth or instantaneous upload bandwidth? Nits: - General comment: too much use of gratuitous capitalization (Request message, Tracker, Peer etc.) - S1.1, CHUNK is better defined as "An uniformly sized atomic subset of the resource that constitutes the basic unit of data organized in P2P ..." - S1.1, For uniformity when defining terms, you may want to think of starting the definition of live streaming as "LIVE STREAMING: Refers to ..." - S1.1: The taxonomy of a peer into a leecher or a seeder appears to be absolute. In real swarms (BitTorrent), a peer trades chunks with other peers, so it is a leecher but also a provider for certain chunks. This eventuality is not considered here. - S1.2.1, what is the implication of the prefix "[Peer Protocol]" in the numbered steps shown? Is it a reference (using syntax like we use for references), or is it implying that the protocol used by a peer in these steps is the peer protocol? If so, why not put the RFC/I-D number of the peer protocol there? - S1.2.2, s/Once CONNECTed/Once connected/ - S2.2, what is an "action signal"? Perhaps easier to simply say that "This Request message is used when ..." Same with "information signal". - S2.3.1, s/register on a tracker/register with a tracker/ - S3.1, "turning the definitions for JSON objects extensible." I cannot quite parse that. Sorry.

Major: 0 Minor: 2 Nits: 1 Minor: 1/ S4.1, second paragraph: "This extension is a non-skippable extension and MAY be added by the mobile node to the Registration Request message." Two comments. First, does "non-skippable" mean "MUST be present"? If so, why "non- skippable"? At least I have not seen such a phrase in an IETF document before. My suggestion would be to simply say that "This extension MUST be present and ..." Which brings us to the second comment. "... and MAY be added by the mobile node ..." This extension is "non-skippable" (?) but a mobile node MAY add it. If the extension is "non-skippable", then why the MAY? Furthermore, if the intent is for some other entity to add this extension if the mobile node does not (hence the justification of MAY), then you should spell out who this entity is. (Sort of how you do it in S4.2, second paragraph, which contains almost identical language to above without the qualifying last phrase that informs the reader who will add the extension if not the mobile node.) 2/ S4.2, second paragraph: Consider changing the "non-skippable" to "MUST be present" (c.f., above comment). Nits: 1/ S2.2, the following sentence does not read well: A mobile node, when it registers multiple bindings with its home agent, each using different care-of addresses, then each of those bindings are given a unique identifier.

However, I am not sure whether this is normative update or simply a suggestion. In the second paragraph, the authors write that, "Hence, it is reasonable to say ..." What does "reasonable" mean? Does it mean that rfc5036 is updated authoritatively with the suggested text or simply that rfc5036 text need not be updated but the text in this draft should be considered.

There are scenarios where you will have no concurrent flow, scenarios where you have some, but they are inactive, and also scenarios where you have concurrent active RTP flows. Michael: Thanks for the clarification. In that case, perhaps a blanket statement outlining the above assumption may suffice. Something like a sentence in the beginning of S3.1: "The use cases below do not make any assumptions on the presence (or absence) of SRTP media sessions, nor do they make any assumptions on the state (active, inactive) of the SRTP sessions (if present)."

Some minor nits follow: Nits: - S2.2, "Organizational policy and good security practice often require that messages be reviewed before they are released to external recipients." Here, I suspect that organizational policy may require such a vetting but I would think that "good security practice" would not. After all, unless a party is forced to do so (the "organizational policy" part), why would one party willingly subject its private communications to a third party before sending it to the recipient? I would not consider that a third party reading my messages a "good security practice". Therefore, I would take the "good security practice" phrase out, unless of course, there is some context to that phrase that I am not privy to. - S3.3, first sentence: "A 'domain signature' is a signature generated on behalf of a set of users in the domain the users are a member of." This sentence appears rather, for the lack of a better word, clunky. How about rewriting this as: "A 'domain signature' is a signature generated on behalf of a set of users who belong to the specific domain." - S5, steps 3-A and 3-B: s/found then/found, then/ There are some more occurences of this, if you feel like it, you may want to change these to have a comma as well. - S7, first paragraph: s/permits masquerade./permits masquerading./ or, s/permits masquerade attacks./ Thanks, - vijay -- Vijay K.

Forwarding the overload control parameters Overload control is defined in a hop-by-hop manner. Therefore, forwarding the contents of the overload control parameters is generally NOT RECOMMENDED and should only be performed if permitted by the configuration of SIP servers. This means that a SIP proxy SHOULD strip the overload control parameters inserted by the client before proxying the request further downstream." I think the reader should be reminded at this point that the proxy also behaves as a client, so will immediately re-insert its own "oc" parameters. (In fact it would be very odd if the proxy supported overload control upstream but not downstream.) Vijay suggested: I can insert the following sentence as the last sentence of the lone paragraph in S5.6: "Of course, the proxy can add overload control parameters pertinent to itself in the Via header it inserts in the request going downstream."

On 01/31/2014 08:25 AM, Varun Singh wrote: Hi Vijay, Apologies for the tardiness, comments inline. Varun: No worries. More inline. In this particular case, we are worried about a side channel attack. The attacker sends a late arriving packet (timestamp in the past) to the receiver and if the receiver sends a discard report with the same number of bytes as the payload of the injected packet, the attacker may infer that no security processing was performed. If it observes no discard report, it may infer that security procedures were performed on the packet. Ah, so you can trivially solve this problem by describing the attack in the draft, much as you do above. I think one of the reasons not to explicitly write about the threat model is because there are several reason to use and not use SRTP/AVPF. they are covered in ietf-avt-srtp-not-mandatory, and implementors should read that document to make up their mind. My reading of draft-ietf-avt-srtp-not-mandatory is that it does not absolve RTP extension authors from talking about security, rather it exhorts them to talk about the specific security problems exhibited by their proposed extension and furthermore, elaborate how to address such concerns. I hope the chairs can clarify on how to proceed. Cheers, - vijay -- Vijay K.

It is not necessarily privacy of the user, but a situation when the receiver reports a packet as discarded and If the packet was carefully crafted by an attacker, they infer something about the security processing of the endpoint. Varun: It was not immediately clear to me that your threat model when you discuss this included the attacker mounting an active attack, but regardless, the larger question of what you mean by "security processing" remains --- who is doing the "processing" and how is the "security" impacted? If an attacker crafts a packet and sends it to the victim, who discards it, then the attacker gets a XR Bytes Discarded report block, and at best the attacker knows that the packet was discarded due to either early arrival or late arrival (the 'E' bit). What is the "security processing" insight that we are worried about here? Furthermore, if the attacker is capable of mounting an attack such that it can inject arbitrary packets to the victim, then the attacker is either in a session with the victim (a session the victim can stop at any time), or the attacker has usurped the channel between the victim and the original participant that the victim was conversing with. In both cases, I suspect that the damage done is more than the attacker just getting back discard report blocks. AFAIR the wording of the paragraph is adapted from other drafts discussing discarded packets (RFC7097 and RFC7002) and with input from sec-dir. That being said, if the wording can be made more clear, I'm happy to incorporate the proposal. I would have had the same questions of rfc7097 or rfc7002 if I had been chosen to Gen-ART review them :-) I think you need to motivate your threat model in S6 to determine the mitigation strategies where SRTP/SAVPF will help. You can discuss this with your chair or your friendly sec-dir personnel and if they indicate that no threat model is needed, then please go ahead with the draft. Gen-ART reviews are advisory in nature anyway. However, since I was confused on reading the section and remain so after our brief email exchange, I think some text added on the motivation may be helpful to future readers (and implementers) of the extension.

Re: [Gen-art] Gen-ART LC review of draft-ietf-soc-overload-control-14.txt
Brian: Thank you for the review. Please see inline. On 12/14/2013 04:10 PM, Brian E Carpenter wrote: [...] Minor Issues: " The normative statements in this specification as they apply to SIP clients and SIP servers assume that both the SIP clients and SIP servers support this specification. If, for instance, only a SIP client supports this specification and not the SIP server, then follows that the normative statements in this specification pertinent to the behavior of a SIP server do not apply to the server that does not support this specification." I don't find the second sentence useful. A useful sentence would be a summary of what might go wrong if one side supports this specification and the other doesn't. (As detailed in 5.10.2 for example.) This blanket statement was added at the behest of the WG that preferred such a statement in lieu of most sentences starting with "If a SIP client supports ...". "5.6. Forwarding the overload control parameters Overload control is defined in a hop-by-hop manner. Therefore, forwarding the contents of the overload control parameters is generally NOT RECOMMENDED and should only be performed if permitted by the configuration of SIP servers. This means that a SIP proxy SHOULD strip the overload control parameters inserted by the client before proxying the request further downstream." I think the reader should be reminded at this point that the proxy also behaves as a client, so will immediately re-insert its own "oc" parameters. (In fact it would be very odd if the proxy supported overload control upstream but not downstream.) You are right that most, if not all, proxies would support overload control on the client and server side. When the proxy acts as a server, it will ask the upstream client to throttle messages if the proxy is overloaded. When the proxy acts as a client, it is performing throttling for the downstream server. However, the pedantic notion in the text you quote is that the proxy scrubs the overload control parameters from the Via header corresponding to the upstream client, and adds overload control parameters in the Via header the proxy inserts in the request going further downstream. To make this notion clear, I can insert the following sentence as the last sentence of the lone paragraph in S5.6: "Of course, the proxy can add overload control parameters pertinent to itself in the Via header it inserts in the request going downstream." Let me know if that captures the intent of your comment. "13.2. Informative References" I am not convinced that I-D.ietf-soc-overload-rate-control is correctly classified as an Informative reference; for example see the citation in section 5.3. It seems to me that an implementor would need to consult the reference. So, draft-ietf-soc-overload-rate-control is an informative reference to this draft. This follows from the fact that draft- ietf-soc-overload-control defines a framework where different classes of overload control algorithms could be plugged in. Performing overload control by using a rate-based algorithm is one such example. Implementors of draft-ietf-soc-overload-control only implement the loss-based traffic reduction algorithm, but the text exhorts them to play better with other class of algorithms by pointing out that other traffic reduction schemes may be used as well. Your comment above actually triggered me to ensure that draft-ietf-soc- overload-rate-control has a normative dependency on draft-ietf-soc- overload-control. It does not. I will inform the author of the rate- control draft. Ditto I-D.ietf-soc-load-control-event-package (section 8). Ditto as above. Nit: I hope this is a nit: the Last Call says it's for "Internet Standard" but surely it's intended to be "Proposed Standard"? Oh gosh, yes, indeed. It is supposed to be a PS.

I liked the security requirements text to the security threats section, as you suggested. I believe you have a point regarding the remark about the security solution. The current description focuses on the PSAP but not on the UA. I assumed that we essentially inherit the functionality from the PhoneBCP document but that should be expressed somewhere. So, I added the following section to the draft: The approach for dealing with implementing the security requirements described in Section 5.2 can be differentiated between the behavior applied by the UA and by SIP proxies. A UA that has made an emergency call will keep state information so that it can recognize and accepted a callback from the PSAP if it occurs within a reasonable time after an emergency call was placed, as described in Section 13 of [RFC6443]. Since UA considerations are described already in [RFC6443] as well as in [RFC6881] the rest of this section focuses on the behavior of SIP proxies. - What do you think about that addition?

e able to deliver the callback from the PSAP to the UA, it is easy for the UA to decide to accept it or not: If the UA never made an outgoing emergency call, then any incoming call with callback marking is treated as spam. If the UA made an outgoing emergency call, then an incoming call with callback marking is accepted. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, - vijay -- Vijay K.

Gurbani Review Date: Sep-20-2013 IETF LC End Date: Sep-27-2013 IESG Telechat date: Unknown This draft is basically ready for publication, but has a couple of minor issues that should be fixed (or at least looked at) before publication. Major: 0 Minor: 2 Nits: 4 (to improve readability) Minor: - S5.2: Maybe I am missing something here, but I did not see any proposed requirement as I read the text until this point. At least I do not see a explicit requirement. The text in S5.1 constitutes an implicit requirement in that it asks the SIP UA to override user interface configurations when an incoming call has "Priority: psap-callback" header AND the SIP UA has recently placed a call to an emergency service. Is this the requirement you allude to in the first sentence of S5.2? If so, may be better to explicitly pose this as a requirement. The second paragraph of S5.2 constitutes a separate requirement. Is it worth spelling these out explicitly as requirements? - S5.3, last paragraph: It seems to me that the SIP UA is the authority insofar as it can maintain state that an emergency call was made a short while ago. Consequently, it would seem beneficial to couple the presence of the callback marking with this state and override local UA behaviour. At least, this alleviates the eventuality that somehow the VoIP provider forgot to scrub the marking AND the UA never made an emergency call (thereby allowing spam through). Now, if it is your intent to keep the UA as stateless as possible, then overriding local UA behaviour based on solely the callback marking is fine. But I do not know what your assumptions are here with respect to state maintained in the UA. So please determine if this approach of asking UA to couple state information with the marking makes sense or not. If not, feel free to disregard, but I did want to point it out. Nits: - S3, first paragraph: "As explained in Section 1 a SIP entity examines an incoming PSAP callback by comparing the domain of the PSAP with the destination domain of the emergency call." Here, I would suggest adding a small phrase as follows: s/destination domain of the emergency call./destination domain of the outbound emergency call placed earlier./ - S3.1: s/synchronized as to state/synchronized,/ This improves readability since the text as it currently stand is hard to parse. - S3.3, second paragraph: s/Similarly to/Similar to/ - S3.5, first paragraph: s/later does leave/later leaves/ Thanks, - vijay -- Vijay K.

Consequently, it would seem beneficial to couple the presence of the callback marking with this state and override local UA behaviour. At least, this alleviates the eventuality that somehow the VoIP provider forgot to scrub the marking AND the UA never made an emergency call (thereby allowing spam through). Now, if it is your intent to keep the UA as stateless as possible, then overriding local UA behaviour based on solely the callback marking is fine. But I do not know what your assumptions are here with respect to state maintained in the UA. So please determine if this approach of asking UA to couple state information with the marking makes sense or not. If not, feel free to disregard, but I did want to point it out. Nits: - S3, first paragraph: "As explained in Section 1 a SIP entity examines an incoming PSAP callback by comparing the domain of the PSAP with the destination domain of the emergency call." Here, I would suggest adding a small phrase as follows: s/destination domain of the emergency call./destination domain of the outbound emergency call placed earlier./ - S3.1: s/synchronized as to state/synchronized,/ This improves readability since the text as it currently stand is hard to parse. - S3.3, second paragraph: s/Similarly to/Similar to/ - S3.5, first paragraph: s/later does leave/later leaves/ Thanks, - vijay -- Vijay K.

Therefore, it is rather disconcerting to see the following statement in the draft (end of Section 2): "[This document] is not a panacea, nor is it a deep and thorough approach to flap reduction." I understand the panacea part, it is the trailing phrase that I want to draw attention to. Now, I am not a routing expert so I would presume that despite the exhortations above, the chairs of the WG and the AD have looked at the document and are comfortable with the sentence I have pointed out.

Major: 0 Minor: 2 Nits: 0 Minor: - S1, 4th paragraph: "An IMIX suited for one networking device and deployment will not be appropriate for another." I suspect the variability of the packet sizes has to do with the vendor whose device is being benchmarked. In other words, a constant, K, used as a packet size by Vendor A does not mean that K can be used while benchmarking a device by Vendor B. If so, it may be helpful to augment the quoted sentence above by the phrase "because packet sizes differ across different vendor devices." - S3, "o Non-RFC2544 packet sizes ... in the table." --- Is this not already covered in S4 (Custom IMIX)? When I read the quoted bullet item, I immediately thought of some sort of an encoding scheme to encode non standard packet sizes, which is what S4 does. Maybe I am missing something?

Please see inline. - S4.1, second paragraph: I suspect that the expectation is that the SCTP stack uses a single local UDP port number for *all local interfaces*, right? As written currently, the qualifier for "all local interfaces" is missing --- maybe it is assumed? If so, better to state explicitly. The text says Each SCTP stack uses a single local UDP encapsulation port number as the destination port for all its incoming SCTP packets. So we are not referring to any kind of interfaces. When building the stack in userland, you might not deal with interfaces. You might bind to some addresses. So it might make sense not to explicitly deal with the notion on interfaces. Well, yes, but the larger point I was trying to make was whether the same port number is expected to be bound to multiple local addresses, which is what we get through using INADDR_ANY when filling in the sin_addr.s_addr component before the bind() system call during coding servers for other transports. It seems that the answer would be yes, since the semantics are similar to UDP and TCP ... so maybe it is okay not to explicitly deal with interfaces. - S5, second paragraph ("Please note that this section is informational only.") --- I am not sure the value of this sentence. The draft itself is targeted as a standards track document, so it comes as a surprise that a certain section is to be exempted from normative language.

My suggestion would be to simply remove the offending sentence to decrease any ambiguity. Section 5 describes the Socket API. It extends RFC 6458, which describes the socket API and is an informational RFC. Also section 10 of RFC 4960 which describes a generic API is "for illustrative purposes". Please note that also section 6 of RFC 6525 describing the corresponding socket API extensions contains the same sentence "Please note that this section is informational only." So for consistency, I would prefer to keep it as it is. That is certainly your prerogative; although it seems to me that maybe saying that "this section is for illustrative purposes only" a la rfc4960 is better.

Upon further reading, it becomes more apparent that during the WG discussions "thing" was a meta-value (or super- class) and that "application" and "device" appear to be sub- classes (or specific values) of "thing"s. Furthermore, rf6473 already defined "application" and that this particular draft is now defining "device". To better impart this information, I would suggest the following simple modification OLD: ...Working Group defined values of "individual", "org", "group", and "location" for the KIND property. Additionally, [RFC6473] has defined a value of "application" for the KIND property to represent software applications. During working group discussion of the document that became [RFC6473], consideration was given to defining a more general value of "thing", but it was decided to split "thing" into software applications and hardware devices and to define only the "application" value at that time NEW: ...Working Group defined values of "individual", "org", "group", and "location" for the KIND property.

If it is an accepted practice to use "FN" in your domain, then you can leave it unexpanded. If not, then an expansion may help the general reader (like me) who may think what "FN" is. (The rest of the properties listed on page 4 and 5 appear to be self-explanatory). Thanks, - vijay -- Vijay K.

Gurbani Review Date: Aug-13-2012 IETF LC End Date: Aug-15-2012 IESG Telechat date: Aug-16-2012 This draft is on the right track but has open issues, described in the review. Major: 0 Minor: 5 Nits: 4 Minor: 1/ S1, paragraph 2: The use of the phrase "...how to implement things properly," is too colloquial for a standards document (even though the draft is targeted as an Informational). I would suggest to rewrite the phrase with more information on what these "things" are. 2/ S1, similar comment for issue (b), it is too colloquial. I would suggest rewording to something like the following: "network equipment vendors introducing who would like to ensure a smooth delivery of many devices with new features" 3/ S1, paragraph 4 --- I suspect that simply expanding eNodeB to "Evolved Node B" and referencing the appropriate standard body's document describing the role of eNodeB should suffice. 4/ S3, second paragraph: "let us agree" is, again, more colloquial than standards-oriented prose. Maybe a good thing to do would be to define "configuration data", "configuration server", "joining device" and others in a terminology section (either as a subsection in S3 or as a section of its own). You already have a good collection of such terminology definitions at the beginning of S3. 5/ S5.4, page 12, while discussing lack of URNs for SAN to carry a MAC: one way to carry a MAC in SAN is to use the otherName field as discussed in rfc5280. S4.2.1.6. I suspect that you have evaluated this option but decided against it. If so, it will be good to list it as an indication of the reasons why you do not think this option will work. Nits: 1/ S1, s/nodes, in a Wi-Fi rather/nodes in a Wi-Fi rather/ 2/ S3, in "Pre-configuration": I suspect that the "certificate" mentioned there pertains to an X.509 certificate. If so, please make it apparent. 3/ S5.1: s/non-IETF protocols only./non-IETF protocols./ 4/ S5.4: s/identity built in/identity/ Thanks, - vijay -- Vijay K.

I thought process *was* generic, but will try your suggested text. Thanks. Is "operations" sufficiently generic? I think so; the term "operations" existed in your original writeup and I simply reused it. I think that might be the Loss CDF, Ah, right. but this is the Delay CDF when Lost Packets are assigned delay = +infinity. OK. Nits: - S1: While characterizing the main audience, I am not sure what "consumer" means --- is it synonymous with "user"? And if so, I think that replacing consumer with user may be better. If these terms are not synonymous, then please provide a definition (even a loose one) of what a consumer is. "user" is too vague and also has a strong precedent in the computer networking context - we can add an adjective: s/consumer/report consumer/ I tried to re-read the sentences with s/consumer/report consumer/, but I must admit that I am none the wiser. Maybe s/consumer/audience/? - S3.1, seems like a grammatical error in the sentence: "We have calculated a waiting time above that should be sufficient to differentiate between packets that are truly lost or have long finite delays under general measurement circumstances, 51 seconds." Probably better to rephrase as: "We have calculated that under general measurement circumstances, 51 seconds is an appropriate length of time to differentiate between packets that are truly lost from packets that are experiencing long finite delays." My grammar-checker accepted a slightly revised version, with s/above/in section 4.1.1/ The original sentence seems odd --- the object of the calculated waiting time (51 seconds) appears at the end of the sentence. By the time the reader gets to the ", 51 seconds", he or she may have lost the context of why 51 seconds is important. - S5.1.2: In Figure 3, I would suggest using "+Inf" instead of "+o0" to denote infinity. It took me a while to figure out that the latter is an ASCII approximation to infinity. So far, everybody else got it... OK, no problem. Please do retain the original text.

Gurbani Review Date: May-08-2012 IETF LC End Date: April-11-2012 IESG Telechat date: May-10-2012 Summary: This draft is ready as an Informational but has some minor issues and nits that should be fixed before publication. Major issues: 0 Minor issues: 6 Nits/editorial comments: 5 Minor issues: - S3.1: I suspect that the metrics like packet loss and packet delay discussed in S3.1 are for hosts on the (I)nternet and not in a laboratory setting, yes? If so, it may be good to state this. - S4.1: I would mention at the end of the paragraph that you intend to fill the gap in RFC2680 by providing a reasonable value for the waiting time. - S4.1.1: In Figure 1, t_0 is probably the delay in the initial link before you get to the first router. If so, please make this explicit. - S4.1.1: Just curious --- you provide a rationale for the choice of link delay of 100ms and queue length of 100ms. But n=5 and L=4 seem to be magic numbers. I suspect that the choice of these is sound, but a couple of words on why the values of these variables are set to the ones shown would be good. - S5.1.1: In the two bullet items here, you posit that processes are spawned when an unexpected condition occurs. Why should this be a process? Why not a thread? Or a light-weight process? Or an event loop? My point is to stay away from well known and contextual words that dictate a specific architecture; i.e., the receiver spawns processes to handle an event. Better to be generic, something like the following (please modify as you see fit): OLD: o Packets that arrive within expected tolerance are handled by processes that remove headers, restore smooth delivery timing (as in a de-jitter buffer), restore sending order, check for errors in payloads, and many other operations. o Packets that do not arrive when expected spawn other processes that attempt recovery from the apparent loss, such as retransmission requests, loss concealment, or forward error correction to replace the missing packet. NEW: o Packets that arrive within expected tolerance are handled by removing headers, restoring smooth delivery timing (as in a de-jitter buffer), restoring sending order, checking for errors in payloads, and many other operations. o Packets that do not arrive when expected lead to an attempted recovery from the apparent loss, such as retransmission requests, loss concealment, or forward error correction to replace the missing packet - S5.1.2: Figure 3 --- if I understand the surrounding text for Figure 3 correctly, then to show a "small fraction of packets are lost", the CDF curve should be asymptotic to the Y-axis and then become stable at the Y=1 value (i.e., be asymptotic to it). We want to denote that almost 100% of the packets exhibit a loss close to 0. Nits: - S1: While characterizing the main audience, I am not sure what "consumer" means --- is it synonymous with "user"? And if so, I think that replacing consumer with user may be better. If these terms are not synonymous, then please provide a definition (even a loose one) of what a consumer is. - S3.1, seems like a grammatical error in the sentence: "We have calculated a waiting time above that should be sufficient to differentiate between packets that are truly lost or have long finite delays under general measurement circumstances, 51 seconds." Probably better to rephrase as: "We have calculated that under general measurement circumstances, 51 seconds is an appropriate length of time to differentiate between packets that are truly lost from packets that are experiencing long finite delays." - S4.1.1: Right before Figure 1, you define D. My suggestion would be to replace the text: "The normal path delay across n hops without encountering a loop, D, is" with "The normal path delay, D, across n hops without encountering a loop is" Here, "D" is qualifying the delay, not the loop. So it is best close to the word "delay". - S5.1.2: In Figure 3, I would suggest using "+Inf" instead of "+o0" to denote infinity. It took me a while to figure out that the latter is an ASCII approximation to infinity. - S6.6: In the section heading, I would advise spelling out "Avail." completely. Truncating it as such serves no purpose that I could see and simply acts as a detraction. Thanks! - vijay -- Vijay K.

Gurbani Review Date: Feb-24-2012 IETF LC End Date: Not known IESG Telechat date: March-15-2012 Summary: This draft is ready as an Experimental. Some minor comments and nits follow. Major issues: 0 Minor issues: 3 Nits/editorial comments: 2 Minor: 1. Section 1 (S1), first paragraph: s/session key would be used/session key is used/ 2. S1, second paragraph: "...The AugPAKE protocol described in this document is an augmented PAKE which also achieves measurable efficiency over some previous works." For sake of completeness, it may help to provide references to the "previous works". 3. S1, second paragraph: "We believe the followings [SKI10]:" --- s/followings/following/ but besides this, I am not sure what you are trying to say here. Maybe a matter of expressing it in alternate English? Nits: 1. S1, second paragraph: s/one and 1.17/1 and 1.17/ This makes it congruent with "2 and 2.17" that appears a few lines above. 2.

[Gen-art] Gen-ART review of draft-gregorio-uritemplate-07
I am the assigned Gen-ART reviewer for this draft. For background on Gen-ART, please see the FAQ at <http://wiki.tools.ietf.org/area/gen/trac/wiki/GenArtfaq>. Please resolve these comments along with any other Last Call comments you may receive. Document: draft-gregorio-uritemplate-07 Reviewer: Vijay K. Gurbani Review Date: Jan-01-2012 IETF LC End Date: Not known IESG Telechat date: Jan-05-2012 Summary: This draft is ready as an Proposed Standard. Major issues: 0 Minor issues: 2 Nits/editorial comments: 0 Minor issue: - S3.2.1, first paragraph: "A variable defined as an associative array of (name, value) pairs is considered undefined if the array contains zero members or if all member names in the array have undefined values." Here, do you mean "if all member names in the array have no values."? That is, "undefined values" implies that values are present in the template, but are not understood. On the other hand, "no values" implies the absence of any values at all. In my reading of the text, it appears that "no values" conveys more context than "undefined values". - S4, general comment: I am not sure where the template expansion is done --- at the client (browser) or at the origin server (the draft does not enunciate this, and if it does, I may have missed it). If the expansion is done at the origin server, I suspect that one can keep it a bit more busy by asking it to perform unnecessary template expansion for a resource that may be accessed normally even without template expansion. Is it worth documenting this at all in the Security Considerations section? (Clearly, if the expansion is done at the client, then it is the client incurring the expense of expansion. Insofar as the client is malicious, it is best to let it expend as much effort as necessary.) Thanks, - vijay - vijay -- Vijay K.

No matter how it was established, a uni-directional stream is outgoing for one side, incoming for the other. After the association has been established, you have n uni-directional streams from A to B, and m uni-directional streams from B to A. For the n streams, A is the outgoing side, B the incoming. For the m streams, B is the outgoing side, A is the incoming side. No matter if A is client, B is server, vice versa, or both were acting as peers. Michael: OK, I suspect that the average reader of your draft will have much more SCTP context than I do (my mind wants to view SCTP through the TCP lens). So, I will defer to the modified text you suggested in your earlier email [1]. I have no further comments.
