It seems that a ball got dropped on this document. The IESG discussed this document a while back, but I had only entered a placeholder discuss for some things we discussed during the telechat. I've appended my full notes below. I think that once we resolve the issues below, the document will be ready to be approved. (I was reminded of this document because I just got some mail indicating that the ATM forum is apparently still interested in an RSVP code point, though they now say they will go for a Vendor type). Thomas > Note that this memo updates the IANA Considerations section (section > 7) of [RSVP-TE]. updates "and replaces", or just updates? > processing of an RSVP entity that belongs to a range designated > "Expert Review" MUST be documented in an Experimental RFC. what about info? (i.e, isn't the point here just not standards track?) It would be good here to add some wording here that describes what the general intent of this is. I.e., I gather the goal is to have stuff be done in an experimental RFC first, get some experience and review, and then (if appropriate) move to standards track. A big part of this is I assume a "go slow" and be sure to review and revise, and not just do one-shot things. If I've summarized the intent correctly, I think it would be helpful to add a few sentences saying this is the intention/motivation for saying experimental. It might even be good to say exactly why information is not allowed (i.e., there is an assumption that Informational are just published with minimal review and little ability to influence, and this is precisely what is not desired.) > 6. IANA Considerations > > For each of the RSVP name spaces identified by IANA, the space is > divided into assignment ranges; the following terms are used in > describing the procedures by which IANA allocates values: "Standards > Action" (as defined in [IANA]); "Expert Review" and "Vendor Private > Use". > > Values from "Expert Review" ranges MUST be registered with IANA, and > MUST be accompanied by an Experimental RFC that describes the format > and procedures for using the code point. > > Values from "Vendor Private" ranges MUST NOT be registered with IANA; > however, the first 4-octet word of the data field MUST be an > enterprise code as registered with the IANA SMI Network Management > Private Enterprise Codes, and the rest of the data thereafter is for > the private use of the registered enterprise. (For each RSVP entity > that has a Vendor Private range, it must be specified where exactly > the data field starts; see below for examples.) In this way, several > enterprises (vendors) can use the same code point without fear of > collision. These definitions don't appear until the IANA considerations section, half way through the document. Yet the terms are used earlier (and partly defined). It might be good to move the defintions to the beginning of the document, and also to make it more clear that only the term "Standards Action" is the one from 2434. "expert review" is defined differently here. I.e., Replace the text starting with: referred to as RSVP entities). This memo specifies for each name space ranges that are "Vendor Private", "assigned by Expert Review", and "assigned by Standards Action" (these terms are defined in the IANA Considerations section). New RSVP name spaces must be defined in a Standards Track RFC which include guidelines for IANA assignments within the new name spaces. to something like (note I've taken text from various places to get this): This memo divides each of the RSVP name spaces into assignment ranges; the following terms are used in describing the procedures by which IANA allocates values: "Standards Action" (as defined in [IANA]); "Expert Review" and "Vendor Private Use" (as defined below). "Expert Review" ranges refer to values that are to be reviewed by an Expert designated by the IESG. The code points from these ranges are typically used for experimental extensions; such assignments MUST be accompanied by Experimental RFCs that document their use and processing. "Vendor Private" ranges refer to values that are enterprise-specific and are not registered with IANA. For Vendor Private values, the first 4-octet word of the data field MUST be an enterprise code [ENT] as registered with the IANA SMI Network Management Private Enterprise Codes, and the rest of the data thereafter is for the private use of the registered enterprise. (For each RSVP entity that has a Vendor Private range, it must be specified where exactly the data field starts; see below for examples.) In this way, different enterprises, vendors or Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) can use the same code point without fear of collision. [note specific mention of SDO too.] > 6.3. Class Types > > Within each object class there is an 8-bit Class Type (also known as > a C-Type). Class Types are scoped to a Class Number. For each > object class, Class Types from 0 to 191 are to be assigned by > Standards Action. Class Types from 192 through 223 are to be > assigned by Expert Review. Class Types from 224 through 255 are > reserved for Vendor Private Use. Since Class Types are dependendent on the Class Number, it doesn't seem right to automatically reserve a range of types for either Expert Review of Vendor Private use. The appropriateness of such a policy really depends on the Class Number. Seems like it would be better to say something like: Within each object class there is an 8-bit Class Type (also known as a C-Type). Class Types are scoped to a Class Number. In general, the appropriateness of allowing assignments of Class Types through Expert Review or Vendor Private depends on the semantics of the Class Number itself. Thus, any Class Number definition needs to specify an appropriate IANA Considerations policy for assigning additional Class Type values. For the purpose of the existing define Class Numbers (XXX list them here?), Class Types from 0 to 191 are to be assigned by Standards Action. Class Types from 192 through 223 are to be assigned by Expert Review. Class Types from 224 through 255 are reserved for Vendor Private Use. [XXX, this paragraph needed assuming it is correct for the existing class numbers.] |

"intent in this document is that code points from these ranges are used for Experimental extensions; it is RECOMMENDED that such assignments be accompanied by Experimental RFCs. If deployment suggests that these extensions are useful, then they should be described in Standards Track RFCs, and new code points from the Standards Action ranges be assigned. " Hmm, some experiments are so experimental that they should definitely be in the Private Use space. In addition, this seems like a very subtle way of saying that no other SDOs will register RSVP values, if the main use for the Expert Review space is Experimentals. Is this what is meant and if so, should it be more explicit? 2. Is it a good idea to have 12 Private Use Class Types? There may be an unintended effect that they are like FCFS for some time. Would it be better to increase the number of Expert Review Types and decrease Private Use, since those will be likely to collide if they are fewer, and therefore be less like the old FCFS? 3. 6.3.1 Sub-objects "Within a Class Type, sub-objects may be defined, generally as a Type-Length-Value triple. These sub-objects are also registered with IANA, and appropriate ranges of values will be set aside for these." This does not give a requirement to register sub-objects. It needs to. "When new sub-objects are defined, it must be done in a standards track RFC" or something like this. |
