[ntpwg] wg last call reminder

[Laurent Montini (lmontini)]

Hi,
 
Removing from my short list the comments Yakov and Danny already made, 
I remain (if I understood correctly as a neophyte wrt NTPv4 draft) 
with:
 
1) page 29
Considering text and Figure 17, I believe there are the following
errors:

   A packet is a duplicate if the transmit timestamp T3 in the packet
   matches the xmt state variable.  

==> is that not the org state variable? 

   A packet is bogus if the origin
   timestamp T1 in the packet does not match the org state variable.  

==> is that not the xmt state variable?

Also in the Figure 17, for the consistency, 
   T1=t1?  (Peer A xmt state variable at t4)
Changed to 
   T1<>t1?

2) page 34
Considering Figure 22 and Figure 1 on page 6 I'd have liked to 
get a definition of packet mode.
A.5.1 does not tell much and does not use "packet mode" term.
In that context I did not really understand the relation between 
Figure 1 and Figure 22.

Otherwise version 4 draft is an improvement (from version 3) and ready
to go to IESG.

	Folks, 

	This is a quick reminder that there is a WG Last Call under way
for the ntpv4 spec. 
	Please review, post any comments, and post your opinion on the
maturity to the wg mailing list. 
	I would like to extend the last call through next Monday to
accommodate folks who wish to spend quality weekend time reviewing the
document. 

	Also, a reminder that the cut-off for new drafts for the Chicago
meeting is July 2 which is rapidly approaching. A number of folks have
mentioned specific items that they would like to see addressed. I
strongly suggest that you submit individual submission drafts for
discussion at the Chicago meeting.

	Karen
