Hello, I have been selected as the Routing Directorate reviewer for this draft. The Routing Directorate seeks to review all routing or routing-related drafts as they pass through IETF last call and IESG review, and sometimes on special request. The purpose of the review is to provide assistance to the Routing ADs. For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see ​ http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir Although these comments are primarily for the use of the Routing ADs, it would be helpful if you could consider them along with any other IETF Early Review/Last Call comments that you receive, and strive to resolve them through discussion or by updating the draft. Document: draft-ietf-6lo-blemesh-08.txt Reviewer: Acee Lindem Review Date: October 31st, 2020 IETF LC End Date: Intended Status: Standards Track Summary: This document is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should be considered prior to publication. Comments: The document extends the 6LoWPAN mechanisms to Bluetooth mesh network. The document is well written and didn't and fairly easy to read given the subject matter. Since I had not followed this standard previously, a rudimentary understanding of RFC 7668. Additionally, familiarity with RFC 6282 mechanisms is required to understand the header compression extensions. My Routing Directorate review was primary from the routing perspective. Major Issues: None Minor Issues: None Nits: In section 3.2, it would be better to reference route-over in RFC 6775 in the first paragraph as it is essential to the viability of the subnet model. Define or Expand acronyms in figure 1 before using.
