I'm willing to have the DISUCSSion, but at the end of the day I think we need to say "No thanks" to having this in the IETF stream. The fact is that there is no indication of any consensus in the IETF to move forward with this experimentally; there is no indication that anyone will participate in the experiment. It sounds to me like this work needs to garner a constituency, and it sounds like we would have to figure out where it fits with other protocols (i.e., if it's competing with the or complementary to them). That requires a BOF, not an IETF Last Call and IESG Evaluation. I don't think we should be in the business of publishing things in the IETF stream *in order to* garner interest. It sounds from other comments like this is interesting work. It seems a shame not to have the IETF do work on this. But until there is demonstrated interest, I don't think this belongs in the IETF stream. Having the ISE publish as Experimental (or having the IRTF again take it on) seems reasonable. |

I think the answers initially need to come from the responsible AD, but there may be subsequent text changes needed. I am worried that the lack of clarity on the two points of my Discuss have affected the level of IETF review and consensus for publication achieved during last call. Also, depending on the answers, I will need to do a different type of review. I should note that I have no fundamental objection to this work. --- This document presumably obsoletes RFC 6179. It should be marked as such; there should be a note to that effect in the Abstract and the Introduction; there should be a section explaining the differences from RFC 6179. --- RFC 6179 was Experimental on the IRTF Stream. If this document is intended as Informational, I should like to see a statement about why it is so positioned. Perhaps it was really intended as Experimental, but if so, I would like to see the parameters of the experiment. |

If SEAL ICVs stay at 32 bits, then this wouldn't really be a good plan I suspect. - p34, I can't see where the format etc. for signed SRS or SRA messages is defined. (Nor the unsigned definition either.) - p34, same comment about SAVI as I had for SEAL, since SAVI is only defined for LANs this just seems like a bad reference |

It would really help if it was made clear what, if any, changes have been made to this draft since it was last published as an RFC. I would like to understand why we are publishing this as an informational on the independent stream? This seems like a small increment when we might better conserve out publishing resources by waiting to see if it gets sufficient traction to justify advancement to a WG document of some sort. I am also concerned about moving this to informational given that we have work in the LISP WG that is publishing at experimental - i.e. this seems like an end run on chartered IETF work. |

12 | Cindy Morgan | The following Last Call announcement was sent out: From: The IESG To: IETF-Announce Reply-To: ietf@ietf.org Subject: Last Call: (The Intradomain Routing Overlay Network (IRON)) to … The following Last Call announcement was sent out: From: The IESG To: IETF-Announce Reply-To: ietf@ietf.org Subject: Last Call: (The Intradomain Routing Overlay Network (IRON)) to Informational RFC The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'The Intradomain Routing Overlay Network (IRON)' as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2013-02-18. 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 Since large-scale Internetworks such as the public Internet must continue to support escalating growth due to increasing demand, it is clear that Autonomous Systems (ASes) must avoid injecting excessive de-aggregated prefixes into the interdomain routing system and instead mitigate de-aggregation internally. This document proposes an Intradomain Routing Overlay Network (IRON) architecture that supports sustainable growth within interior routing domains while requiring no changes to end systems and no changes to the exterior routing system. In addition to routing scaling, IRON further addresses other important issues including mobility management, mobile networks, multihoming, traffic engineering, NAT traversal and security. While business considerations are an important determining factor for widespread adoption, they are out of scope for this document. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-templin-ironbis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-templin-ironbis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. |

Why is this the proper type … Shepherd 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? The intended status is Informational. This is the proper status, as RFC 6179 which this is a bis version of was published as Informational. The intended status 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 abstract provides a good technical summary: Since large-scale Internetworks such as the public Internet must continue to support escalating growth due to increasing demand, it is clear that Autonomous Systems (ASes) must avoid injecting excessive de-aggregated prefixes into the interdomain routing system and instead mitigate de-aggregation internally. This document proposes an Intradomain Routing Overlay Network (IRON) architecture that supports sustainable growth within interior routing domains while requiring no changes to end systems and no changes to the exterior routing system. In addition to routing scaling, IRON further addresses other important issues including mobility management, mobile networks, multihoming, traffic engineering, NAT traversal and security. While business considerations are an important determining factor for widespread adoption, they are out of scope for this document. Working Group Summary Was the document considered in any WG, and if so, why was it not adopted as a work item there? Was there controversy about particular points that caused the WG to not adopt the document? This revises RFC 6179 which was published on the IRTF stream by the RRG. Since then, IRON (which it describes) has also been discussed somewhat in the DMM/MEXT WG and I believe in the INTAREA. It differs in architecture and underlying technology too much from Mobile IP in order to gain any traction with the DMM/MEXT participants, as that WG's charter has always been Mobile IP centric. It is similar in some goals to work also being done in the LISP WG, however it also differs substantially from the LISP technology. Since LISP is being done as Experimental, and it's well recognized that there are alternative approaches like ILNP (and IRON), this does not seem to pose a problem. I do not believe there have every been very specific critical points raised against IRON. 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? As this is an Informational document, and not a protocol spec, it isn't something that will be directly implemented. Some parts of the IRON architecture, at least, have been implemented (e.g. SEAL in Linux), though I'm not aware that the full IRON architectural concepts have been deployed and operated with for any amount of time. Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd? Who is the Responsible Area Director? Wesley Eddy is the document shepherd and Ralph Droms is the responsible area director. (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 believe the document is nearly ready for publication. I started by checking a diff of it against RFC 6179 which it is a bis update to. While the diff appears significant, the changes can be summarized relatively easily. I think adding a section that describes the changes in the author's view would be helpful, and is the only thing I'd suggest working on prior to proceeding with publication (beside minor notes below on idnits and possibly obsoleting 6179). As I understand it, some of the main changes from 6179 are: - terminology "VPCs" -> "VSPs" In my opinion, the new Virtual Service Provider (VSP) term is only better because it avoids the overloaded Cloud term that was the C in VPC. - terminology "EP addresses" -> "CP addresses" This seems to help clarity. - use of AERO instead of SCMP redirection This is an improvement, as RFC 6706 (AERO) is more specific than the discussion of SCMP redirection in 6179. However, I found 3 places in the text that seemed to indicate that SCMP messages are used for redirection. I believe those implications are incorrect and that AERO messages are used instead. (see the 3rd paragraph in section 3, the first in section 6, and the 2nd to last paragraph in 6.1) - terminology - added notion of dependent and visiting clients This helps in some descriptions of operation. - discussion of initialization folded into control plane operation section The new descriptions look good to me, and are clear. - added renumbering considerations This seems like a useful addition. - enhanced security considerations The 3 new paragraphs look good to me. Given that IRON exists in a space that other advancing proposals also live in (e.g. LISP and ILNP), it might be tempting to ask for a comparison/contrast between approaches. I think this could be a bad idea though, since consensus and getting proper reviews do not seem like they would come in a timely manner, and there's no need to make an IETF recommendation between any of these at this time. However, it's also odd that they would not even be mentioned at all in the "Related Initiatives" section 15 of the document! It seems that the major ones should be mentioned as existing in a "just the facts" kind of way since RRG has backed ILNP and LISP is a chartered WG. (4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? RFC 6179 which this is a bis update to, went through a significant number of reviews through the IRTF process on its way to publication, even though these may not have been IETF-track reviews. I have not noticed other significant reviews of this bis version of the document, but may have missed them. Some reviews from directorates and the IESG will come as part of processing this document. While those may not generate the depth of review that a normal IETF WG product gets, they should be sufficient given the prior RRG reviews of 6179, and the reviews of the other component documents referenced (e.g. AERO). (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. The main changes in this document seem to be bringing IRON as it was previously defined in RFC 6179 up-to-date with regard to AERO and other progress. These changes do not seem to warrant any additional specialized reviews, given the Informational nature of the document. (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 interested community has discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns here. No additional concerns. (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. NEED TO CHECK WITH FRED ON THIS. (8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If so, summarize any discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR disclosures. There do not appear to be any linked IPR disclosures. (9) How solid is the consensus of the interested community behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the interested community as a whole understand and agree with it? There appears to be a small, but strongly interested, community that cares about this document. There do not appear to be any people that have major issues or disagreements with its contents. (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.) There are no known conflicts regarding this document. (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. idnits does not that RFC5743 is not explicitly referenced. This appears to be leftover from RFC 6179 which was published on the IRTF stream and included this reference in order to explain that. (12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews. No additional formal reviews appear to be necessary. (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? N/A (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. N/A (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 interested community considers it unnecessary. I believe this should obsolete RFC 6179, though that is not currently stated in the title page header; since both are Informational, it does not seem to be a big deal though. (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). There are no IANA considerations. (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. N/A (19) Describe reviews and automated checks performed by to validate sections of the document written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc. N/A |
