Removing my Discuss since the issue is addressed in the latest editor's copy.
For posterity, the discuss point was:

Section 9.2 says:

  An autonomic network consists of autonomic devices that form a
  distributed self-managing system.  Devices within a domain share a
  common trust anchor and thus implicitly trust each other.  [...]

This seems to be a fundamental misstatement of how
trust anchors work.  Sharing a trust anchor means that you are willing to
trust the same entity, the holder of the private key for that trust anchor.
It does not imply any relationship between the two entiteis that trust the
trust anchor.

To be clear,  I think that the authors do understand the actual trust
and security situation here, and the rest of the subsection makes sense; I
just think that this text needs to be changed to make the situation clear
to the reader in an accurate way.

and the original COMMENT (also preserved for posterity):

Section 5

I think it would be good to explicitly mention that in order to provide the
autonomic nature, trust is extremely coarse-grained, in that a device is
either in the PKI, in which case it is (essentially) fully trusted and
authorized for all actions, or it is not in the PKI and totally untrusted.

Section 9.1

I think it's better to say that packets have confidentiality protection
than to say that they are encrypted.

I would also be reluctant to speculate too much about the possibilities for
traffic analysis; as is often said, "attacks can only get better; they
never get worse".

One comment: I'm just wondering if there is any insider (or outsider) attack where an attacker node could disconnect all or some other nodes, or at least overload the network such that is would be unusable. Would be nice to see some more discussion about this in the security considerations section!

Since draft-ietf-anima-bootstrapping-keyinfra is a normative reference in this document, IDevID seems like it should be as well. That is, it seems to be used in a normative way in the same manner as the other normative references in this document. If the document were not going to have any normative references, then I think IDevID could be informative.

I'm confused here ...

  This document describes a first, simple, implementable phase of an
  Autonomic Networking solution.  It is expected that the experience
  from this phase will be used in defining updated and extended
  specifications over time.  Some topics are considered architecturally
  in this document, but are not yet reflected in the implementation
  specifications.  They are marked with an (*).

This is true now, but when this document is approved, will it be published immediately (in which case, this is "truth decay", because it becomes less true in the unchanging RFC every time a topic is reflected in implementation specifications), or will it be held until all the (*)s are stable?

[Ballot comment]
In discussing the Autonomic Control Plane (section 4.6), it says "is implemented as an overlay network".
"Overlay" in routing documents (e.g. GMPLS) refers to an abstraction of the underlying data layer.
The rtgdir reviewer (Chris) was also confused on the use of "overlay". Is your intention for the
control plane to be independent of the topology of the data plane layer? For GMPLS, where the control
plane and data plane are clearly separated, the control and data planes are said to be "decoupled"
(control plane neighbors may not necessarily be data plane neighbors). Suggest not to use "overlay" if
your intention is for it to be decoupled. If the intention is for it to reflect an (abstracted) connectivity of
the data plane layer than could use '"overlay" though it would be helpful to define what is meant.

Please review Chris's other comments.

This diagram is kind of hard to follow. You say ASAs are instantiated
on nodes, but these ASAs don't seem to be attached to any particular
nodes.

is "northbound" a synonym for "configuration"?


S 6.1.

This is kind of nitpicking but there are plenty of languages where
multithreading is natural even in simple programs (e.g., Rust or to
some extent Go).

You probably don't want parentheses here. non-privileged and user
space are different thigns.

Hmm.... This is PL nitpickery again, but many languages don't have
garbage collection. Perhaps you mean "memory management"

"randomization" is a term of art here that means that the algorithms
are randomized (as in randomized hashing) not that you generate strong
random numbers.

Don't bet on this. Traffic analysis is very powerful.

This isn't obvious to me. The issue here is that control of one non-
privileged device might let you affect others. That wouldn't be true
of centrally managed systems.

comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-08-21. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of
the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


  This document describes a reference model for Autonomic Networking.
  It defines the behaviour of an autonomic node, how the various
  elements in an autonomic context work together, and how autonomic
  services can use the infrastructure.

draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-reference-model-06 write-up

(1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard, Internet
Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why is this the proper type
of RFC? Is this type of RFC indicated in the title page header?

  Informational. The document describes a reference model for Autonomic
  Networking. It defines the behaviour of an autonomic node, how the various
  elements in an autonomic context work together, and how autonomic services
  can use the infrastructure. It is the proper type of RFC and obey the WG
  charter. The type is indicated in the title page header.

(2) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement
Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up. Recent examples
can be found in the "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval
announcement contains the following sections:

Technical Summary:
Relevant content can frequently be found in the abstract?
and/or introduction of the document. If not, this may be?
an indication that there are deficiencies in the abstract?
or introduction.

  The document describes a reference model for Autonomic Networking. It defines
  the behaviour of an autonomic node, how the various elements in an autonomic
  context work together, and how autonomic services can use the infrastructure.

Working Group Summary:
Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For example,
was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions
where the consensus was particularly rough??

  This document was called draft-behringer-anima-reference-model prior to its
  WG adoption. There was unanimous support for it in favor of adoption and
  none against, so this document was adopted in December 2015. There was
  interest in this work posts since its adoption. There was never any
  opposition for this work.

  This document went through a relevant long document development
  period (12 months for individual document period, 26 month for WG
  document period). It has been reviewed well.

Document Quality:
Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant
number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification?
Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a?
thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a?
conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was
a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review, what was its course
(briefly)? In the case of a Media Type review, on what date was the?
request posted??

  This document went through multiple reviews by multiple participants.
  So far, there is no existing implementations, which is not needed as
  an Informational document.

Personnel:

Who is the Document Shepherd? Who is the Responsible Area Director?

  Sheng Jiang is the document shepherd.
  Ignas Bagdonas is the responsible AD.

(3) Briefly describe the review of this document that was performed by the
Document Shepherd. If this version of the document is not ready for publication,
please explain why the document is being forwarded to the IESG.

  I reviewed this document thorough once for -05 versions (and had
  other minor comments from time to time):

  https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/anima/current/msg03292.html

  The issues raised in my reviews were promptly addressed by authors
  in -06 version along with the comments from other ANIMA WG members.
  This document -06 version is ready for publication in my opinion.

(4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of
the reviews that have been performed?

  No.

(5) Do portions of the document need review from a particular or from broader
perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, AAA, DNS, DHCP, XML, or
internationalization? If so, describe the review that took place.

  No.

(6) Describe any specific concerns or issues that the Document Shepherd has with
this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG should be aware
of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the
document, or has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any event,
if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to
advance the document, detail those concerns here.

  There are no outstanding issues.

(7) Has each author confirmed that any and all appropriate IPR disclosures
required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79 have
already been filed. If not, explain why?

  Yes. The authors, Michael H. Behringer, Brian Carpenter,Toerless Eckert,
  Laurent Ciavaglia and Jeferson Campos Nobre have confirmed in writing that
  they are not aware of any IPR, and that any and all appropriate IPR
  disclosures required for full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and
  BCP 79 have already been filed.

(8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If so,
summarize any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR disclosures.

  No.

(9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the
strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the
WG as a whole understand and agree with it?

  There was broad support for this document. It was reviewed by active WG
  participants.

(10) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent?
If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the
Responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this
questionnaire is publicly available.)

  No. There was unanimous support for this work and nobody raised any objections.

(11) Identify any ID nits the Document Shepherd has found in this document. (See
http://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/?and the Internet-Drafts
Checklist). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough.

  This document is now ID nits free.

(12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review criteria, such
as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.

  No MIB Doctor, media type, URI type or similar apply to this document.

(13) Have all references within this document been identified as either
normative or informative?

  Yes.

(14) Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for
advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such normative references
exist, what is the plan for their completion?

  The three normative references are other ANIMA WG documents and they were
  sent to IESG for publishing before shepherding this document. They should
  not be hinders for publishing this document as RFC.

(15) Are there downward normative references references (see RFC 3967)? If so,
list these downward references to support the Area Director in the Last Call
procedure.

  No.

(16) Will publication of this document change the status of any existing RFCs?
Are those RFCs listed on the title page header, listed in the abstract, and
discussed in the introduction? If the RFCs are not listed in the Abstract and
Introduction, explain why, and point to the part of the document where the
relationship of this document to the other RFCs is discussed. If this
information is not in the document, explain why the WG considers it unnecessary.

  No. This document does not update any existing RFCs.

(17) Describe the Document Shepherd's review of the IANA considerations section,
especially with regard to its consistency with the body of the document. Confirm
that all protocol extensions that the document makes are associated with the
appropriate reservations in IANA registries. Confirm that any referenced IANA
registries have been clearly identified. Confirm that newly created IANA
registries include a detailed specification of the initial contents for the
registry, that allocations procedures for future registrations are defined, and
a reasonable name for the new registry has been suggested (see RFC 5226).

  No. There is no IANA action requested by this document.

(18) List any new IANA registries that require Expert Review for future
allocations. Provide any public guidance that the IESG would find useful in
selecting the IANA Experts for these new registries.

  No such registry is requested in this document.

(19) Describe reviews and automated checks performed by the Document Shepherd to
validate sections of the document written in a formal language, such as XML
code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc.

  There are no such parts to the document.
