Document: draft-ietf-pim-port-09.txt Reviewer: Suresh Krishnan Review Date: 2011/11/01 IESG Telechat date: 2011/11/03 Summary: This document is almost ready for publication as an Experimental RFC but I have a few comments. Minor ===== Section 3.1 * From my reading of the document, it is not clear whether we can have a node advertise multiple capability options of the same transport protocol (say PIM-over-TCP-Capable) in the same message. e.g. A dual stack node might want to advertise its capability to do both IPv4 and IPv6. Is this possible? If so, how? Section 4.7 * Section 4 talks about the router with the lower connection ID initiating the transport layer connection but this does not really map into the rules mentioned in Section 4.7. Specifically, I am not sure Rule 3 for Node A in Section 4.7 conveys the same intent as section 4. Thanks Suresh
