Document: draft-friend-tls-lzs-compression-03 Reviewer: John Loughney Date: May 26, 2004 Looks OK, couple of points: 1) Is there an external reference to the LZS compression mechanism? I wasn't clear if this is something that is entirely described within the draft. 2) SSL used in some places (section 1.1) - should it be TLS? NITS: 1) 2026 broilerplate - needs updating 2) Should LZS be expanded in title, abstract & first usage? 3) Section 2.1 has a IANA request, might want to put a note for IANA to fill in the TBA, and perhaps put a back reference to this section in the IANA considerations section. IANA has assigned as compression method identifier for applying LZS compression to TLS record payloads. 4) Section 3.1, 'HiFn' I guess is a company, but I didn't quite get that point in section 3.1, would it be better to drop it? old text: Starting with a sliding window compression history, similar to [LZ1], Hifn developed a new, enhanced compression algorithm identified as LZS. The LZS algorithm is a general-purpose lossless compression algorithm for use with a wide variety of data types. It's encoding method is very efficient, providing compression for strings as short as two octets in length. new text: Starting with a sliding window compression history, similar to [LZ1], a new, enhanced compression algorithm identified as LZS was developed. ....
