Thank you, Tim, for the return and the updated doc.

It is obviously up to the authors to decide what is out of scope or not but strongly suggest to mention explicitly the VM/containers/mobile devices as being out-of-scope in the document.

Having multiple interfaces can also impact the enterprise network though

Removed.

Agreed - we added mention of capabilities in a couple of places.

Out of scope.

True, but out of scope.  The document is about their connectivity to the enterprise infrastructure.  We could note this, but currently do not.

Added text to say consider as L2 consumer switch, see Section 3.1.

Fair comment, as this could be something contentious.  The only way we can think to avoid that is to include the DHCPv6 requirements conditionally, ie. “IF you need DHCPv6 then…” those requirements are required.  So networks deploying with just RA for address configuration can avoid that.

Deleted 5722 and 8021.

Also made into an “If DHCPv6 is needed then”

RFC8504 covers this in16.2, should we say the same words here, as optional in each section?
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8504#section-16.2
Thoughts?

> - page 9: should Jen's RFC 9131 be added as optional ?

Can do, in which sections?   Presumably 4.1 and 4.4?

Best wishes,
Tim
