[manet] Re: [IPv6]Re: Requesting 6MAN adoption for " IPv6 Address for Ad Hoc Networks"

[posting this as an individual contributor, i.e., “no hat”]

Fred,

I quickly browsed through your I-D and have some suggestions:
- please run idnits and fix all the issues
- add some explanations about what an “ad hoc network” is rather than referring to a MANET RFC
- the multilink is puzzling to me, does it mean that the same MLA is assigned to all interfaces of a node ? (hence the scope is required as for LLA) if so why LLA are not sufficient ?
- in section 4, you cannot simply `the RFC Editor is instructed to update [RFC4007] and [RFC5889] to reflect this new address type` ;-)
- the IANA considerations should really be more specific, especially around ` prefix length N that is short enough to ensure ample statistical address uniqueness`

Hope this helps improving your draft and hence perhaps facilitate its adoption

Regards

-éric

Fred,

Request received.  The chairs will discuss.

BTW, Appendix A. Change Log is missing all of the changes from versions 1-23.

Bob
