Document: draft-ietf-tsvwg-transport-encrypt-19 Reviewer: Joel Halpern Review Date: 2021-02-15 IETF LC End Date: 2021-02-19 IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat Summary: THis document is ready for publication as an Informational RFC Major issues: Minor issues: While section 2 does include a discussion of traffic mis-ordering, it does not include a discussion of ECMP, and the dependence of ECMP on flow identification to avoid significant packet mis-ordering. Section 5.1 of this document discusses the use of Hop-by-Hop IPv6 options. It seems that it should acknowledge and discuss the applicability of the sentence "New hop-by-hop options are not recommended..." from section 4.8 of RFC 8200. I think a good argument can be made in this case as to why (based on the rest of the sentence from 8200) the recommendation does not apply to this proposal. The document should make the argument. Nits/editorial comments: I found the discussion of header compression slightly confusing. Given that the TCP / UDP header is small even compared to the IP header, it is difficult to see why encrypting it would have a significant impact on header compression efficacy. The wording in section 6.2 on adding header information to an IP packet has the drawback of seeming to imply that one could add (or remove) such information in the network, without adding an encapsulating header. That is not permitted by RFC 8200. It would be good to clarify the first paragraph. (The example, which talks about the sender putting in the information is, of course, fine.)
