The document title speaks of "redundancy" but the document is scoped to "semi-redundant services" and makes a point of stressing how DHCPv6 does not offer a redundancy protocol. It might be helpful to tune the title to match the document. |

There are a ton of linguistic/editorial issues that I don't have time to itemize. I strongly suggest an editorial pass through this document by another WG participant to clean this up. 2. In bullet #3 of section 2, the second part talks about getting configuration information or options. Is this information obtained via Stateful DHCPv6, Stateless DHCPv6, or a combination of the two? 3. I cannot cleanly parse the first sentence of bullet #4 in section 2. 4. Does the last paragraph of section 2 really refer to a DHCPv6 *redundancy* protocol being published? 5. Section 2.2 says that end-hosts will not use DHCP prefix delegation. Do you have considerations to offer for when they do make such requests? 6. This question may be due to a hole in my knowledge of DHCPv6, but iss there really any difference in the two scenarios described in sections 4.1 and 4.2, other than a possible difference in the prefix length? 7. In section 5, bullet #1 discusses the need for each DHCPv6 server to use the same allocation algorithm to ensure that each IPv6 address is only allocated to a single client. Does this require every DHCPv6 server to see all requests? If so, would that be feasible in the two target deployment scenarios? |

Look at what Stephen said, and add that for me as well. It's very hard to tell whether I really have "no objection" to this or whether I do. The Security Considerations section is particularly bad. It starts off with a long sentence, which I can't figure out what it says. Then it has three more sentences that appear to identify one issue, which I paraphrase thus: << Dynamic updating of DNS using the models defined in this document creates opportunities to overwrite valid DNS resource records. Overwriting valid DNS resource records maliciously could result in undesirable behavior. >> Is that what's meant? If not, then I completely don't understand the Security Considerations section. If it *is* what's meant, then this seems awfully fluffy: we're opening things up to abuse... don't do it, because it's bad. I hope the reality is that I misunderstand. |

The document says it does not address a standards based solution (so it's not the kind of document described in the first paragraph of section 5.1 of RFC2026). It's not setting policy or defining the operation of an IETF function. It seems instead to say "here's a way you can do this thing, and here are some things to consider if you choose to do it". That really seems like an Informational document. What's in here that makes Informational the wrong choice? (Please consider paragraph four of section 5.1 in RFC2026 when answering that.) Thinking forward, publishing this as BCP may make work harder for the IETF if/when it does produce a standard mechanism to address this problem. |

The draft did not add much for me on how to configure DHCPv6 servers to have some level of redundancy. |

I suspect this will be a mostly harmless RFC as a result. Sorry to be blunt, but it needs work if you want it to actually be useful to the reader. I started out noting corrections but gave up quickly. Here's as far as my patience lasted: - abstract: s/who wishing/wishing/ - s1: s/of IPv6/of IPv6,/ - s2: s/in wide range/in a wide range/ - s2: /networks, two notable/networks. Two notable/ - s2: analogies can be drawn irrespective of the presence or absence of a standard, and analogies aren't for reference, they are explanatory - the sentence doesn't make sense as-is. - s2: s/Reader interested/The reader interested/ That was too many already in just a couple of paragraphs so I stopped, but I really wish folks (authors, WG chairs, shepherds) would try fix this kind of thing and not force the RFC editor to fix it, in the process making all reviewers beforehand wade through hard-to-read text like this. We don't need high class literature, but this kind of thing makes reviewing a good bit harder. |

Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-03-30. 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 documents some deployment considerations for those who wishing to use DHCPv6 to support their deployment of IPv6. Specifically, providing semi-redundant DHCPv6 services is discussed in this document. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-redundancy-consider/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-redundancy-consider/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. |

Has the Document Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the document and, in particular, does he or she believe this version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication? I (Ted Lemon) am the document shepherd. I have reviewed the document, and believe it is ready for publication. (1.b) Has the document had adequate review both from key WG members and from key non-WG members? Does the Document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that The document has been reviewed by quite a few members of the working group, and is reasonably mature. The document has not been reviewed by other working groups--it is very specific to DHCP. (1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document needs more review from a particular or broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with AAA, internationalization or XML? This is an informational document about DHCP operations, so I don't think there's much need for additional review. (1.d) Does the Document Shepherd have any specific concerns or issues 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. Has an IPR disclosure related to this document been filed? If so, please include a reference to the disclosure and summarize the WG discussion and conclusion on this issue. I don't have any concerns about the document. No IPR disclosures have been made. (1.e) 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? The document had strong support at the last meeting, and passed WGLC with strong support. More than just the usual suspects supported it, so I think it's got good support. (1.f) 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 entered into the ID Tracker.) I haven't heard any objections raised. (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the document satisfies all ID nits? (See the Internet-Drafts Checklist and http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough. Has the document met all formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB Doctor, media type and URI type reviews? The draft passes idnits without any issues. (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and informative? 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 strategy for their completion? Are there normative references that are downward references, as described in [RFC3967]? If so, list these downward references to support the Area Director in the Last Call procedure for them [RFC3967]. The doc has been split. There is an informative reference to a document that is still in progress and has not yet been adopted by the working group, but no normative references to unpublished documents. (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA consideration section exists and is consistent with the body of the document? If the document specifies protocol extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA registries? Are the IANA registries clearly identified? If the document creates a new registry, does it define the proposed initial contents of the registry and an allocation procedure for future registrations? Does it suggest a reasonable name for the new registry? See [RFC5226]. If the document describes an Expert Review process has Shepherd conferred with the Responsible Area Director so that the IESG can appoint the needed Expert during the IESG Evaluation? There are no IANA requirements imposed by this document. (1.j) Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the document that are written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc., validate correctly in an automated checker? No such language exists in the text. (1.k) 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 This document documents deployment scenarios for installing redundant stateful DHCPv6 servers so as to provide fault tolerance. Working Group Summary This document received a thorough review by the WG, and had broad support. 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 isn't a protocol specification, although as far as I know it is based on operational experience. |
