Greetings authors,

I have read through your draft and look forward to your presentation at the
upcoming TSVWG session.

Here are some questions / comments:

*Terminology*: is it correct to assume that wherever I see the acronym *LTP*,
which is not defined in the draft, it should actually be *TLP*?

*DPLPMTUD*: I see that there is a reference to PLPMTUD (RFC 4821) but none
to its datagram counterpart DPLPMTUD (RFC 8899). The latter is an essential
underpinning tp draft-spiriyath-ipsecme-dynamic-ipsec-pmtu (which is also
referenced). You may want to consider pointing to RFC 8899 also.

*LMAP value determination*: In the draft I see:

if IPVersion is 4:
  LMAP = FragLen
elif IPVersion is 6:
  LMAP = FragLen + 40


As far as I am aware, there is no rule that requires that initial fragments
be as large as possible; rather, the fragmenting node has discretion to
"even out" the fragment sizes if the size of the packet to be fragmented
would result in one (or a series of) maximum-sized fragment and one that is
quite small. Indeed, I vaguely recall that this is encouraged to avoid
further downstream fragmentation. If I am correct in this belief, then the
formula above is fundamentally flawed. If you have a reference that
supports the notion that an initial fragment is required to be as large as
the outgoing MTU allows, please include a citation.

See you at the presentation.

Thanks and regards,

Mike Heard
