[DNA] Comments on DNAv6 (draft-dnadt-dna-protocol-00.txt)



Hi,
  
   few comments and questions on the DNAv6 draft.
 
1. In Section 3.2
 
"....    In the case when the landmark prefix is unknown to the responding
   router, the host will receive a "No" answer to its landmark question,
   and also the information it needs to configure itself for the new
   link.  The routers try to include as much information as possible in
                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   such messages, so that the host can be informed of all the prefixes
   assigned to the new link as soon as possible."
 
but as per section 5.1.5, DNAO for learned prefixes must not be added in the unicast RAs.
i.e, we are not adding as much information as possible.
 
2. While bootstrapping DNA data structures(section 5.1.3),
     a) will the router reply for RSs without landmark option (may be sent by other routers)
     b) will the router reply for RSs that contains landmark option (may be sent by DNA host)
 
3. While a router is in multicast sender state (during 3 seconds), will it increase the token count or will it consider the token count as MaxUnicastRABurst?
 
4. In section 5.2.4,

 ".....If the unicast Router Advertisement contains a Landmark option
      that matches the Landmark Option in the last transmitted Router
      Solicitation ....."
 
Is a case where, a unicast router advertisement comes without landmark option is possible? (DNA routers which are bootstrapping may just send RA) If possible, some text which tells what to do in such cases may need to be added. 
 
5. To deal with amplification effect, what about having a threshold on number of routers sending fast RA? For example, only first 5 routers (as per the fast RA rankings) only will reply for RSs (in addition to the method specified in the draft)
 
 
Here are some typo errors
1. In section 5.1.1
 
"   The routers maintain a set of conceptual data structures for each
   interface to track the prefixes advertised by other routers on the
   link, and also the set of DNA routers (the routers that will quickly
   respond to RAs) on the link.  For each interface, routers maintain a
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   list of all prefixes advertised on the link.  The list will be
   referred to in this document as "DNAPrefixList".  For each prefix the
   router MUST store the following information:
"

  I think it is either "the routers that will quickly respond with RAs" or
"the routers that will quickly respond to RSs"
 
2. In section 5.1.4
"   When a router receives a Router Advertisement, it first validates the
   RA per the rules in RFC 2461, and then performs the actions specified
  ^^^^^^^^
   in RFC 2461."
 
"RA as per"
