Overall, … [Ballot comment] A review from Christian Vogt: Internet draft draft-ietf-midcom-rfc3989-bis-00.txt defines the semantics of a set of transactions for use in middlebox signaling protocols. Overall, the document is in a good shape, and it looks like it could be published soon. One point that needs improvement, however, is the description and differentiation of the various transaction types. There is no place in the document where all definitions are precisely defined. The introduction says that there were two types of transactions and names them "request-reply" and "asynchronous". The Terminology section lists four types of transactions (Or is it not transaction /types/, but something else?) -- request, configuration, monitoring, and asynchronous transactions. Then, as part of the transaction template definition in section 1.2, only three transaction types are left, namely, configuration, monitoring, and asynchronous. What about request (or "request-reply") transactions? Section 2.1.1, Protocol Transactions, still misses request transactions, but comes up with a fifth transaction type: convenience transactions. And to make things even more challenging to understand, section 2.1.3 finally introduces transaction "groups", which seems to be a means of differentiating transactions that is orthogonal to "types". To sum things up, the draft would clearly benefit from one precise and complete definition of all possible types of transactions, including how and why they are grouped. This should appear at /one/ prominent position early on in the document. Note that a good definition of the transaction types is crucial given that the document is all about transactions. |

I think ignoring my objections is better than spending the time to fix. |
