[MEXT] Review of draft-laganier-mext-cga-01

Dear Julien,

With a huge delay from my side (I volunteered to do this in the last
IETF meeting), here is my review of your draft. Apologies for the delay.

- I agree with most of the comments from Jouni and Alper. In particular,
I think the draft is a useful piece that is worth to be improved and get
published. Major aspects IMHO to be improved:

	* Terminology section and in general the document: references to other
documents are provided and it's a bit hard to follow all the details
about how the protocol works. It's true that the protocol is probably
defined as is in the detail enough for a developer to implement it, but
for the reader is hard to understand everything without going back and
forth to check the relevant references. Maybe it'd be good to include
some of these details in your draft as well (even if this means we are
repeating text that is already there in another IETF document).

	* Section 5 (Usage scenarios). I think it'd be useful to describe/refer
to some real examples where your solution is useful.

	* The BU authorization issue pointed by Alper is definitely a very good
one.

- There is another comment that is probably out-of-the-scope of your
document and more related to MIPv6. I've always wondered why there is no
test on the care-of address of the MN during the home registration. I do
not know why it is assumed that a MN cannot try to fool its HA sending a
BU containing a fake CoA. Jari raised this issue in the MEXT interim
meeting that took place in Madrid (focused on NEMO RO) but somehow I
missed the outcome of that discussion. I see this more relevant to your
draft, because of the BU authorization issue pointed above.

- I also think that section on IPv4 support (at least in its current
form) does not really fit well in the document.

Thanks,

Carlos
