    iSCSI boot draft - informal WG Last Call



    While not strictly required, let's do an IPS Working Group
    Last Call on the iSCSI Boot Draft:
    
    	Title		: Bootstrapping Clients using the iSCSI Protocol
    	Author(s)	: P. Sarkar, D. Missimer, C. Sapuntzakis
    	Filename	: draft-ietf-ips-iscsi-boot-10.txt
    
    This WG Last Call will close on Wednesday, July 16th.  Editorial
    comments can be sent directly to the primary author, Prasenjit
    Sarkar <psarkar@almaden.ibm.com> ; technical comments should be
    posted to this list.
    
    Please focus on the new security text, but if anything
    else is found, it's better to catch it here than in a second
    IETF Last Call.  It's already been pointed out that the text
    on how dual stack (IPv4/IPv6) systems acquire their IP addresses
    is overspecified, and should be removed in favor of other
    specifications that address that area directly.  That would
    involve removal of the following paragraph in Section 5:
    
       An iSCSI boot client which does not know its IP address at power-on
       may acquire its IP address via DHCP.  An iSCSI boot client which is
       capable of using both DHCPv6 and DHCPv4 should first attempt to use
       DHCPv6 to obtain its IP address, falling back on DHCPv4 in the event
       of failure.
    
    Thanks,
    --David (for David and Elizabeth, IPS WG co-chairs)
