Document: draft-ietf-hip-rfc4843-bis-06.txt Reviewer: Suresh Krishnan Review Date: 2014/06/24 IESG Telechat date: 2014/06/26 Summary: This draft is almost ready for publication as a Proposed Standard but I have a comment you might wish to address. * Section 2 The Encode_96 function mentions that the output is obtained by "extracting the middle 96-bit long bitstring" from the argument. This seems to be in conflct with Appendix E of RFC5201bis where the HIT suite 3 recommends truncation of the hash to 96 bits. Shouldn't this just be a truncation function? Thanks Suresh
