Thank you Al for your comments and suggestions. All the feedback
received from the WG during this last call will be shortly integrated in
the new version of the document.

Best Regards,

...closes today.

Just a few, mostly editorial suggestions, Al (as a participant)

S 1, 3rd para.
To be consistent, include the RFC number for "Benchmarking Terminology
for ..." [6] in the text.
All the other RFCs in this section are referred to by number, and RFC
1242 should not be left out.

S 5.1, 3rd para,
    "The frame sizes listed for IPv6 include the extension headers used
in
    testing (see section 4.3). "
should be 5.3

S 5.2.1 1st para

    "IANA reserved the IPv6 address block xxxxx/48 for use with IPv6
    benchmark testing.  These addresses MUST be assumed to be not
    routable on the Internet and MUST not be used as Internet source or
    destination addresses.

    Note to IANA: Replace "xxxxx" with assigned prefix."

I suggest that it's more efficient to ask the IANA folks to edit one
section, the IANA section (8), and just make a reference to it here.

possible text:
    IANA has reserved an IPv6 address block for use with IPv6
    benchmark testing (see section 8).  It MAY be assumed that
    addresses in this block are not globally routable and they
    MUST NOT be used as Internet source or destination addresses.

    <note deleted>
and
5.2.2.  Test Traffic Protocol Addresses

    The IPv6 source and destination addresses for the test streams
SHOULD
    belong to the IPv6 range assigned by IANA as defined in section 8.

S 7
under Extension Header specific conditions, the text should reference
section 5.3 not 4.3.


S 7.4  Back-to-Back Frames.

I don't think we should have an objective for a test we've decided not
to recommend, so suggest deleting the Objective: lines.
