18 | Alexey Melnikov | [Ballot comment] I think the document is a bit lax with SHOULDs, some of which might be better specified as MUSTs or just removed. For … [Ballot comment] I think the document is a bit lax with SHOULDs, some of which might be better specified as MUSTs or just removed. For example: 3.3.3. Session Maintenance Requirements [...] If a Transport Model defines MIB module objects to maintain session state information, then the Transport Model MUST define what SHOULD happen to the objects when a related session is torn down, since this will impact interoperability of the MIB module. Maybe just say "MUST define what heppens to the objects ..."? 3.3.4. Message security versus session security [...] If a secure transport session is closed between the time a request message is received, and the corresponding response message is sent, then the response message SHOULD be discarded, even if a new session has been established. The SNMPv3 WG decided that this should be a SHOULD architecturally, and it is a security-model-specific decision whether to REQUIRE this. The architecture does not mandate this requirement to allow for future security models where this might make sense, but not requiring this could lead to added complexity and security vulnerabilities, so most security models SHOULD require this. Enclose some SHOULDs in "" to emphasize that they are not declaring requirements? |

Architectural Modularity Requirements [...] … [Ballot discuss] In general this is a well written document and I hope to clear this DISCUSS very soon. 3.2.1. Architectural Modularity Requirements [...] To encourage a basic level of interoperability, any Transport Model SHOULD define one mandatory-to-implement security mechanism, but should also be able to support additional existing and new mechanisms. Why this SHOULD is not a MUST? I am expecting a mandatory-to-implement to be a MUST. 3.2.2.1. securityName and securityLevel Mapping [...] Documents defining a new transport domain MUST define a prefix that MAY be prepended by the Security Model to all passed securityNames. I might be slightly confused here: passed by whom? The prefix MUST include from one to four ASCII characters, not You probably didn't mean any US-ASCII character here, e.g. I don't think you wanted to allow control characters, spaces, etc. Wouldn't it be better if this is defined as US-ASCII alpha-numeric? including a ":" (ASCII 0x3a) character. If a prefix is used, a securityName is constructed by concatenating the prefix and a ":" (ASCII 0x3a) character followed by a non-empty identity in an snmpAdminString compatible format. Transport domains and their corresponding prefixes are coordinated via the IANA registry "SNMP Transport Domains". 3.3.4. Message security versus session security Some Transport Models might support only specific authentication and encryption services, such as requiring all messages to be carried using both authentication and encryption, regardless of the security level requested by an SNMP application. A Transport Model MAY upgrade the security level requested by a transport-aware security model, i.e. noAuthNoPriv and authNoPriv might be sent over an authenticated and encrypted session. A Transport Model MUST NOT downgrade the security level requested by a transport-aware security model, and SHOULD discard any message where this would occur. What is an alternative to discarding? (I.e. why the last SHOULD is not a MUST) |

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? Juergen Schoenwaelder is the document shepherd. I have reviewed the document several times including the latest version and I believe it is ready for forwarding to the IESG 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 have been performed? The document has gone through multiple WG last calls and has had over time significant review by subject matter experts. I do not have any concerns regarding the level of review for this document. (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? I do not believe any extra special review (other than normal IETF Last Call) is needed. (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 do not have any specific concerns. No IPR disclosure been filed as far as we know. (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 has WG consensus and the WG wants the document to be published as a Proposed Standard. (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.) No-one has threatened with an appeal or expressed extreme discontent. (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the document satisfies all ID nits? (See http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html 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 document passes ID-nits 2.10.03. Some references have been updated since the ID was posted, which can be resolved easily during the IETF last call process. There are no formal reviews needed for this document. (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]. References are split in Normative and Informative. All normative documents have been published. (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? The document establishes a registry for SNMP transport domains. The IANA section defines the initial content, an allocation procedure, and it suggests a reasonable name. An Expert Review process is not defined. (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? The document does not contain any formal notations that can be checked for correctness. (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 The document defines a Transport Subsystem, extending the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) architecture defined in RFC 3411. The subsystem can contain Transport Models comparable to other subsystems in the RFC 3411 architecture. The Transport Subsystem can be used to expand the transports to include secure transports such as SSH or TLS. Working Group Summary The working group went over several revisions of this document while developing a Transport Model for SSH. The document did stabilize several revisions ago and has mainly been kept back to track clarifications and to ensure the new subsystem works with the SSH transport defined in a companion document. There has been strong WG consensus on revision 16 of this document. Document Quality There are two known implementations in progress of secure transport models. A concrete SSH subsystem has been worked out by the ISMS working group and a DTLS subsystem is in progress as an individual draft and it seems the Transport Subsystem defined in this document is capable to supports both secure transports. |
