Document: draft-ietf-hip-rfc5205-bis-08 Reviewer: Jouni Korhonen Review Date:2015–12-21 IETF LC End Date: 2015–12-28 IESG Telechat date: Summary: This draft is ready for publication as a standard track RFC with small nits to be corrected. Major issues: None. Minor issues: * The document seems to imply/assume that a DNS query has multiple question sections with different QTYPEs. At least the exmaples in lines 226 and 278 make me read so. I wonder whether this is actually the intention. If not, reword/edit accordingly to avoid the confusion. This is to avoid known issues when QDCOUNT>1 or have a justification to do so. * Section 5 and the assiciated HIP RR figure mostly mentions public key but not HI anymore. For the clarity I would suggest adding text that the public key is the HI as well. Nits/editorial comments: * IDnits complains on outdated reference: draft-ietf-hip-rfc5204-bis-06 but this can be corrected e.g., by the RFC Editor. * Line 97: s/address\(es\)/addresses * Line 162: s/obtain/obtains * Line 163: s/initiate/initiates * The document sometime uses "initiator" instead of "Initiator" e.g., in line 173. Suggest always using "Initiator" when meaning the HIP Initiator. * API is never expanded. * Sentence between lines 204-206 is somewhat hard to parse. Suggest rewording. * Line 201: "HIP node (R)" probably means Responder. Suggest actually stating that.
