Sent a request for the authors to make an update of the draft. We only need to solve Dan's issues and we could approve the document.

[Ballot comment]
The secdir review identified that we might want to update
the boilerplate security considerations a bit - do we want to
do that now? (This is really for the OAM^h^h^hOPS ADs:-)

  "RFC 3826 details how to use AES with SNMPv3. Again, this never made it
  into the boilerplate. Perhaps some new enthusiastic ADs get engaged to
  revise the boilerplate? ;-)"

The SEC and OPS ADs should come back to this.

What is an all zeroes value for a string identifier of a variable size. Does this mean a string of any size where each character is 0x? or only maximal size? What about the null string?

3. Is the Pmip6MnInterfaceATT TC supposed to be updated, as IANA maintains the mobility parameters register as per RFC 5213: Section 8.5? If so the TC needs also to be placed in a separate MIB module to be maintained by IANA. Now this TC is imported from a future RFC which will need to be approved and published in order for this document to be published. Why is not the MIB module defining the TC part of this document?

[Ballot comment]
I'm hoping to change the boiler plate text, but don't want to hold this document up for that discussion.  I've copied my DISCUSS here, though there is NOTHING for the authors do with it.

With the addition of the Transport Security Model (RFC 5590/5591) to SNMPv3 I'd like to see the following paragraph from the Security Considerations aligned with the one in RFC 5591:

OLD:

  It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
  provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
  including full support for the SNMPv3 cryptographic mechanisms (for
  authentication and privacy).

NEW:

  It is RECOMMENDED that implementers consider the security features as
  provided by the SNMPv3 framework (see [RFC3410], section 8),
  including full support for the USM and Transport Security Model
  cryptographic mechanisms (for authentication and privacy).

Can we work in references for RFC 3414 (USM) and RFC 5591 (Transport Security Model).

[Ballot comment]
I really would prefer it if documents didn't show up for AD review with
unresilved idnits.

---
                                                                                                       
I would find it helpful if the IMPORTS clause was enhanced to indicate
which documents the imports come from. An example of this can be seen
in Section 7 of RFC 4803.

---

The copyright issue in the MIB module itself must be resolved before
the I-D progresses.

---

It would be nice to include a DISPLAY-HINT for Pmip6TimeStamp64.

---

There is something wrong in the DESCRIPTION of Pmip6TimeStamp64
  "A 64-bit unsigned integer field containing a timestamp.
    The value indicates the number of seconds since January
    1, 1970, 00:00 UTC, by using a fixed point format.  In
    this format, the integer number of seconds is contained
    in the first 48 bits of the field, and the remaining 16
    bits indicate the number of 1/65536 fractions of a
    second.
  "
The second line says the value indicates the number of seconds, but
the description goes on to say it indicates the number of fractions
of a second.
How about:
s/the number of seconds since/the elapsed time since/

---

Please do not include sitations (such as [RFC1234]) within the MIB
module itself as this is standalone text. The REFERENCE clause should
be enough.

---

Please don't include unstable URLs (e.g. pointers to Internet-Drafts)
in REFERENCE clauses.

---

I think there is dubious utility to using RFC 2119 language within
DESCRIPTION clauses.

---

I'm surprised pmip6Status doesn't have a DEFVAL

---

Did I miss something? This module is for IPv6 proxy mobile, right? So
all addresses will be IPv6?

So why use InetAddressType? Surely the use of that SYNTAX only means
that you have to write restriction clauses and have error handling?

Or is the point that you also want to allow zone indexes?

---

I want to check that pmip6MagBLEntry is really intended to augment
mip6MnBLEntry. The alternative is that you really wanted a sparse
augmentation.

Similarly for pmip6BindingCacheEntry augmenting mip6BindingCacheEntry.

---

        -- pmip6Stats:pmip6BindingRegcounters

s/counters/Counters/

---

I think the use of counter and gauge is not completely right.
Counter should be used for counts of events (i.e. increasing counts).
Gauge should be used to show the number of things that exist (i.e. a
count that can go up or down).
Integer should be used for fixed (although changeable through
configuration) value.
So, I would have thuught (a MIB Doctor may disagree)...

Pmip6TimeStamp64 is an integer
pmip6LmaHomeNetworkPrefixLifeTime is an integer

---

Should Pmip6PBUAccessTechnologyType be in an IANA MIB module so that
it gets updated in lockstep with the IANA registry?

[Ballot discuss]
I have only done a very cursory review of this document. It seems to me
that there may be a large number of nits related to how the MIB module
is written, and the Responsible AD may want to ensure that the document
has been updated after MIB Doctor review *before* it is presented for
IESG review.

I am entering a Discuss because of the volume of minor Comments I have
generated. None of the Comments stands on its own as a point worthy of
a Discuss, but there are so many that I feel the document cannot be
described as ready for publication.

In order to make this Discuss actionable, I ask that the authors make
an attempt to address a serious percentage of my Comments.

[Ballot comment]
The document currently contains:

        -- Authors' note:
        --    It is not clear if the Copyright notice should be a part
        --    of above description. It was a requirement sometime ago
        --    but the submission tool at ietf.org complained so it is
        --    removed for now.

That should be removed before approving the document.

The DISCUSS is based in part on the MIB Doctor review performed by Harrie Hazewinkel

1. The following comment in the MIB review does not seem to have been addressed:

>    The PMIPV6-MIB is composed of the following groups of definitions:

The groups do not align with the object groups defined in the MIB itself.
IMO, the rest of the section would need some rewriting as it does not
reflect the MIB definition.

For instance, the pmip6BindingCacheTable has an object that is pmip6BindingTimeRecentlyAccepted
and that is part of the pmip6BindingCacheGroup.

Also I am not finding a core group in the object group definitions, but there is a
core complaince (pmip6CoreCompliance)

Why is this a SHOULD? In which conditions are exceptions allowed, and what is the behavior for such cases? Default on disabled(2) or it does not matter?

I have reviewed this draft. Overall, I think it is in good shape, but I did see a number of issues. Please issue a new draft that corrects them and/or adds more clarifying text. The main issues were:

- at times the document was unclear about where a particular piece of MIB information is held (at the MAG vs. LMA)
- in several places the document needs to be more explicit
- some IP address issues
- not sure I understood the OID limit issue

From this description it is unclear where this table is. Is this a MAG or a LMA table?

Is this "the mobile node"? or all mobile nodes currently attached to this mag? Same issue in pmip6LmaHomeNetworkPrefixTable.

From this desccription it is unclear from whose point of view this information is presented. Does this table exist at the MAGs or the LMAs?

This description should be more accurate about the encoding of the identifier. Do you mean that its the same encoding as in RFC 4283? Are there other alternatives than NAIs? Please be more precise. Section 2.2 is not a very good reference in this sense, because it too lacks specificity.

Due to roaming, there is an infinite number of potential visited mobile nodes. Are these indexes for the *current* mobile nodes, i.e., those currently attached to the domain? Or something else? Please specify.

Perhaps you should explicitly state that the namespace from RFC 5213 should be used:

I'm not sure I understand this. There's an IPv6 link local address, but is there an IPv4 one? If not, why do we need the -Type object? And where is the IPv4 default router and DHCP server address stored in? Here there is room for just one address, not two as would expect to require in a dual stack environment... but maybe I'm missing something.

Do we use activated or tunneled, if the system is otherwise up but the MAG has no mobile nodes, and has not had to send a Proxy Binding Update yet?

The description has been written as if there was just one mobile node and one BUL entry. Please update the specification, I presume that you meant that this table contains ALL prefixes of ALL mobile nodes for which there exists ANY BUL in this MAG?

I do not understand this. The pmip6MagHomeNetworkPrefix is of type InetAddress, so in this case its length would always be 16, no?

I'm curious why the last timestamp is in this table, but the last sequence number is not. Sequence numbers and timestamps are equal alternatives in RFC 5213.

Please specify what is expected to happen for Flag=0 entries otherwise. Do they even show up in this table, and if they do, how do the values in the entries get filled? Or would a client Mobile IP host simply lead to the creation of another entry in a Mobile IPv6 MIB table, not here?

This is the first time that nemoStatus appears in the document.

When using http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/bin/smitools.cgi I got these errors:

# (1.a) Who is the Document Shepherd for this document? 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?

Document Shepherd is Jonne Soininen (WG co-Chair for NETLMM). I have
personally
processed and reviewed the document and I do believe - as much as I
understand the MIB - the document is ready to be
forwarded 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?

This document has had as much review as we could get for a MIB. I have no
personal concerns about the reviews.

# (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 document needs to be reviewed by the MIB doctors.

# (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 have no concerns on the document.

# (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 WG consensus is behind this document.

# (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.)

Nobody has threatened to appeal.

# (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?

Yes, I run the nits script on the draft and it gave no warnings or errors

# (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].

There is a split to normative and informative references.
There is no normative document that would be in a dubious state.

# (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

# future registrations? Does it suggest a reasonable name for the new
# registry? See [RFC2434]. 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?

Yes, IANA considerations section does exist and seems to be in line with the
rest of the 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?

This is a MIB. I used http://www.simpleweb.org/ietf/mibs/validate/ and I
think everything went ok. It complained on some parts of the descriptions.
(Mostly "'" within description or a reserved word word within the
description texts). However, I thought this would be an error of the tool
rather than the MIB.

I might be wrong, though.
