Hello, I have been selected as the Applications Area Directorate reviewer for this draft (for background on appsdir, please see http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/app/trac/wiki/ApplicationsAreaDirectorate). Please consider these comments along with any other Last Call comments you may receive. Document: draft-ietf-tsvwg-source-quench-04 Title: Deprecation of ICMP Source Quench messages Reviewer: Tobias Gondrom Review Date: 2012-02-06 Abstract: This document formally deprecates the use of ICMP Source Quench messages by transport protocols, formally updating RFC 792, RFC 1122, and RFC 1812. Additionally, it requests that the status of RFC 1016 be changed to "Historic". Summary: This draft is ready for publication as an RFC. And I agree with the conclusions of the Transport Area Working Group (tsvwg) to deprecate ICMP source quench, especially from a potential security perspective. Comment/remark: one of the reasons for deprecating ICMP source quench was given in the draft in section 1 as: "- Virtually all popular host implementations have removed support for ICMP Source Quench messages since (at least) 2005 [RFC5927]" Please note, that the reviewer did not test/verify this statement, but assumes that the transport working group has researched and confirmed this data in WGLC. If this is not the case, the transport are WG should reconfirm this assumption before the draft progresses to IESG.
