Hello I have been selected to do a routing directorate “early” review of this draft. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-alto-new-transport/ The routing directorate will, on request from the working group chair, perform an “early” review of a draft before it is submitted for publication to the IESG. The early review can be performed at any time during the draft’s lifetime as a working group document. The purpose of the early review depends on the stage that the document has reached. As this document is in working group last call, my focus for the review was to determine whether the document is ready to be published. Please consider my comments along with the other working group last call comments. For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see ​http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir Document: draft-ietf-alto-new-transport-07 Reviewer: Russ White Review Date: 30 March 2023 Intended Status: Standards Summary: This document is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should be considered prior to being submitted to the IESG. Comments: This draft covers a complex protocol and use cases. I had to go back and read the previous drafts and other documents to get a good perspective on these use cases. Given the inherent complexity, this draft is well written, and gives good explanations of the solution proposed. The example given towards the beginning of the document was very helpful. Nits: This document assumes data will be pushed in the correct order, but it doesn't seem to say this is a requirement. Since the document is dealing with changes to a network topology (for instance), it seems like this would be a requirement to mention someplace. It could be that I missed this requirement, however.
