Is there a reason why you're saying "misconfiguration" instead of one of those? |

So I was happy to see this, at the end of the Introduction: This document obsoletes RFC 4893, and a comparison with RFC 4893 is provided in Appendix A. Imagine my dismay, then, when I trotted down to Appendix A and found that it has but one, low-content sentence: This document includes several clarifications and editorial changes, and specifies the error handling for the new attributes. If that's all you had to say, you should have just put it into the Introduction in the first place. Grumble. Happily, there's DIFF. :-) And no, don't bother changing it now. No objection, really, in any case. Just me being slightly grumpy. |

BGP-4 MIB module. This is taken care of (as far as I can tell), because the TC took care of the InetAutonomousSystemNumber ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION DISPLAY-HINT "d" STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Represents an autonomous system number that identifies an Autonomous System (AS). An AS is a set of routers under a single technical administration, using an interior gateway protocol and common metrics to route packets within the AS, and using an exterior gateway protocol to route packets to other ASes'. IANA maintains the AS number space and has delegated large parts to the regional registries. Autonomous system numbers are currently limited to 16 bits (0..65535). There is, however, work in progress to enlarge the autonomous system number space to 32 bits. Therefore, this textual convention uses an Unsigned32 value without a range restriction in order to support a larger autonomous system number space." REFERENCE "RFC 1771, RFC 1930" SYNTAX Unsigned32 Note: not sure many people are actually using this MIB module, but that's behind the point. 2. IPFIX. This is taken care of, as http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipfix/ipfix.xml defines the max length. ( See bgpSourceAsNumber and bgpDestinationAsNumber ), and the Template Record defines the length, so 2 or 4 bytes. 3. YANG. I don't believe there is anything BGP YANG module. Regards, Benoit. |

First, in the IANA matrix located at: http://www.iana.org/protocols/ the reference for 32-bit Autonomous System Numbers under Autonomous System (AS) Numbers will be updated to the new [ RFC-to-be ]. References inside: http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/as-numbers.xml will also be updated to the new [ RFC-to-be ]. Second, a BGP Capability code to indicate that a BGP speaker supports the four-octet AS numbers. IANA confirms that the Capability Code 65 has been assigned in: http://www.iana.org/assignments/capability-codes/capability-codes.xml Third, IANA confirms that two BGP optional transitive attributes, and their type codes, have been assigned. AS4_PATH and AS4_AGGREGATOR are assigned in: http://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-parameters/bgp-parameters.xml Fourth, IANA confirms that a reserved two-octet AS number -- 23456 -- for AS_TRANS has been assigned in: http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/as-numbers.xml IANA understands that these are the only actions required to be completed upon approval of this document. AS_TRANS. The AS number 23456 has been assigned by the IANA for AS_TRANS. Note: The actions requested in this document will not be completed until the document has been approved for publication as an RFC. This message is only to confirm what actions will be performed. |

Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-06-15. 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 The Autonomous System (AS) number is encoded as a two-octet entity in the base BGP specification. This document describes extensions to BGP to carry the Autonomous System numbers as four-octet entities. This document obsoletes RFC 4893. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-rfc4893bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-rfc4893bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. |

06 | Cindy Morgan | Document Writeup As required by RFC 4858, this is the current template for the Document Shepherd Write-Up. Changes are expected over time. This version … Document Writeup As required by RFC 4858, this is the current template for the Document Shepherd Write-Up. Changes are expected over time. This version is dated 24 February 2012. (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? Proposed Standard. Insofar as the draft is a replacement for a PS RFC, it should be pretty obvious, though I can go into this at more length should there be any doubt. (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 The Autonomous System (AS) number is encoded as a two-octet entity in the base BGP specification. This document describes extensions to BGP to carry the Autonomous System numbers as four-octet entities. The primary difference between RFC 4893 and this draft is the introduction of a detailed Error Handling section. Several other requirements are also clarified or added. Working Group Summary One working group member, John Leslie, contributed a detailed review of the draft which suggested extensive changes in terminology. The authors disagreed as to the need for the changes. When the chairs put the question to the WG directly, there was no support for pushing forward with the changes, and some opposition. Document Quality The protocol (extension) has been implemented and fielded for years and it is generally considered to be a requirement for a serious BGP implementation. See also above. Personnel The Document Shepherd is John Scudder. The Responsible Area Director is Stewart Bryant. (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. Review included a careful read-through and several rounds of iteration with the authors, which were completed satisfactorily. (4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? No. The document has been discussed to death. (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. N/A. (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. It is probable that the document could be of Even Higher Quality in terms of prose, terminology, definitions and so on. However, the fact that multiple implementations exist and are in use suggests that the document is good enough as written and that further expenditure of energy on polishing isn't warranted. See also The WG summary above. (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. (By the way, the sentence in the questionnaire is missing its question mark.) (8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If so, summarize any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR disclosures. N/A (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? Consensus is good. As discussed above there was some disagreement about terminology but in later private discussion with the WG member he agreed to proceed. (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.) N/A (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. No nits found. (12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews. N/A (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? No. (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. Yes, yes, N/A and N/A respectively. (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). Confirmed for all. (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. None. (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. N/A |
