Comment:

 Hello

 Should I read the RFC as well just to make sure you didn't miss anything
 as well?

 It says the class must be IN. Does it mean we can't use IXFR for differnt
 class?

 Why are the version numbers by tens? Isn't it enough to just miss the one
 single number that is not present?

 You propose to use bind9 for the tests. Isn't it easier to prepare the
 packets to answer in some files and use socat for example to send/receive
 the packets?

 The 4/4 says the order of changes is set. However, it also says the whole
 transaction is atomic. I think it refers to the effect on the resulting
 data in the zone. If we, for example, had a „delete this RR“ and then
 again „add this RR“, it results in a zone containing it. If it is the
 other way around, it results in a zone without. Maybe some data might test
 this?

 For 4/7, can we simulate a TCP connection that gets truncated/reset? And
 see the data from the beginning didn't get stored?

 Can we check that the IXFR is sent when the SOA times out? Or is that too
 long to test? Should we mention it?

 Thanks
