Hello,

having been encouraged to do reviews with my newcomer's eyes, here are some

3.3.2. Sending Responses
Current text seems to allow servers to send tcp-keepalive option even if the
client did not explicitly request it. Is it intended? If it is the case it
would be nice to say it explicitly. Right now I do not if it is just omission
or a intentional violation of 6891 section 7.


3.4. TCP Session Management
typo: "RCF6891 states" ...

Since servers must be faithful to this specification even on a
persistent TCP connection it means that (following the initial
exchange of timeouts) a server may not be presented with the
opportunity to signal a change in the idle timeout associated with a
connection if the client does not send any further requests
containing EDNS0 OPT RRs.

This reference to RFC 6891 section 7 seems to contradict server behavior
mentioned earlier in section 3.3.2 of this draft.

Personally I think that this is a deficiency in EDNS0 spec (or my
understanding of it :-). Is there a reason to assume that client could
possibly lost ability to understand particular EDNS option/feature during
lifetime of one TCP connection?


4. Intermediary Considerations
Sentence
"Should a non-keepalive-aware
intermediary sit between a client and server that both support
keepalive a potential side effect will be an increased frequency of
the proxy closing idle client connections."
is kind of hard to read, but that is just matter of taste.
