I have been selected as the General Area Review Team (Gen-ART) reviewer for this draft (for background on Gen-ART, please see http://www.alvestrand.no/ietf/gen/art/gen-art-FAQ.html). Please wait for direction from your document shepherd or AD before posting a new version of the draft. Document: draft-sun-dime-itu-t-rw-01.txt Reviewer: Brian Carpenter Review Date: 2008-08-25 IESG Telechat date: 2008-08-28 Summary: Ready Comments: No issues with this document. However, while reviewing it, I did discover that the DIAMETER community has systematically deviated from the statement in the IANA Considerations of RFC3588: "Diameter is not intended as a general purpose protocol, and allocations SHOULD NOT be made for purposes unrelated to authentication, authorization or accounting." It seems that numerous allocations have in fact been made outside the scope of AAA (strictly interpreted). I suggest that draft-ietf-dime-rfc3588bis needs to discuss this rather than just leaving the "SHOULD NOT" untouched.
