Document: draft-ietf-ipsecme-tcp-encaps-08.txt Reviewer: Francis Dupont Review Date: 20170317 IETF LC End Date: past IESG Telechat date: 20170411 Summary: Ready Major issues: None Minor issues: None Nits/editorial comments: - 3 page 6: if a TCP stream itself really supports very long mesages the encapsulation used in the document has a lower (but still large) limit (2^16 - sizeof(header) - 2). In general there are all provsions to discourage the use of TCP encapsulation when something simpler is available. I don't expect they will be strictly followed in the real world but IMHO you did the maximum for a spec document. Regards Francis.Dupont@fdupont.fr
