Hi all,

Here is my chair's review of draft-ietf-nsis-qos-nslp-15.txt.

I have reviewed the whole draft and do not see any issue with it. It  
is written in an excellent way and seems to be just fine. Thanks to  
all who contributed and especially to the editors.

The comments are just editorial or minor clarifications. Please fix  
them if possible and submit a new version.

Editorial issues:

- ID nits throws some output (see attached at bottom of this mail).  
The only relevant is an editorial nit; 2nd under "miscellaneous  
warnings".

- page 6, definition of session: " A session defines an association  
between a QNI and QNR related to a data flow." Just for my  
understanding: This sounds such as the involved QNEs on the path are  
not part of the session? The definition is a bit unclear in this  
respect, IMHO.

- page 9, first para has some strange line break, between  
"...network" and "management..."

- page 9: para starting with "Policy control..." refers to qos-auth  
which is a I-D. Do we still need to point to this draft and if yes,  
why it is happening here in the introduction and not in the  
appropriate section?

- page 11, first para (cont'd from previous page): s/source of the  
each/source of each

- page 11, section 3.1.2, third para, refers to the QSPEC as "ongoing  
effort" which is hopefully not true anymore. Rephrasing would be good.

- page 12, the para before the last para, "QoS models..." again  
refers to the QSPEC draft, seems to superfluous in this section.

- page 14, third para refers to nslp-auth draft. As we won't have  
this draft as WG item, it is appropriate to remove the reference here  
and also from  the reference section

- page 16, last para, s/a unidirectional/an unidirectional

- page 20, the para before the last para refers to "middle of  
session". What is "middle of session"?

- page 21, para before section 3.2.12.1 seems to belong in section  
3.2.12.1

- page 24, section 3.2.12 it would be nice to refer to 5.2.5.2 here,  
so that people can jump there to see the solution, if desired, and  
the more exhaustive explanation

- page 34, last para of section 4.5 has a self-reference to section  
4.5 but claiming that it is different.

- page 42, middle of page says three flags, but there are four of them.

- page 45, second para says "Retransmissions SHOULD be disabled." If  
haven't understood on which level the retransmission should be  
disabled (GIST or NSLP level?).

- page 70, section 5.3.7, first para, last sentence: at locationg i  
refer. Needs to be fixed somehow.

- page 74, section 5.4.1, list end of the page: s/The SCOPING/the  
SCOPING. also for following bullets. Also for the list on  page 75.

- Section 5.4.1 and 5.4.2 say
..."monitored.   If they differ then the BREAK flag of new generated  
messages (e.g.,  QUERY, RESERVE or RESPONSE) SHOULD be set.  In  
situations ..."
Would RECOMMENDED be more appropriate here? (of course considering  
also the case described after ("...BREAK flag MUST not be set...").

- page 76, last para: "Note that QUERY messages with the RESERVE-INIT  
flag set MUST be answered by the QNI." Shouldn't it read "...answered  
by the QNR."?

- page 79, section 6 (but not going in 6.1 and subsequent): The lists  
are broken (formatting issue)

- page 90: Appendix A. It would be good to add something along "This  
appendix is informational only."

- page 95: Heading has two times "Appendix B".


That's it.

Thanks!

   Martin

----

   == The copyright year in the IETF Trust Copyright Line does not  
match the
      current year

   == Using lowercase 'not' together with uppercase 'MUST' is not an  
accepted
      usage according to RFC 2119.  Please use 'MUST NOT' (if that is  
what you
      mean).

      Found 'MUST not' in this paragraph:

      If a stateful QoS NSLP QNE receives a QUERY message with the
      RESERVE-INIT flag and BREAK flag set then the BREAK flag of new  
generated
      messages (e.g., QUERY, RESERVE or RESPONSE) MUST be set.  When  
a stateful
      QoS NSLP QNE receives a QUERY message with the the RESERVE-INIT  
flag set
      and BREAK flag not set then then the IP-TTL and Original-TTL  
values in
      GIST RecvMessage primitive MUST be monitored. If they differ  
then the
      BREAK flag of new generated messages (e.g., QUERY, RESERVE or  
RESPONSE)
      SHOULD be set.  In situations where a QNE or a domain is able  
to provide
      QoS using other means, see Section 3.3.5, then the BREAK flag  
MUST not be
      set.
