BGP/MPLS Layer 3 VPN Multicast Management Information Base
draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-mib-12

[Ballot comment]
A general comment that we've been making on lots of documents in this
space is that it would be nice to be in a place where the acronym "VPN"
implies transport encryption.  It's unclear that it's appropriate to request
changes to this specific document toward that end, though.

Perhaps I'm confused, but "mvpnAdvtPeerAddr" appears in the security
considerations in the list of address-related objects that may have
privacy/security impact.  That list is predicated on being "objects with a
MAX-ACCESS other than not-accessible", but all the instances of
mvpnAdvtPeerAddr I found in the body text were marked as not-accessible.
Similarly for mvpnMrouteCmcastGroupAddr, mvpnMrouteCmcastSourceAddrs,
mvpnMrouteNextHopGroupAddr, mvpnMrouteNextHopSourceAddrs, and
mvpnMrouteNextHopAddr.  (Incidentally, why ar mvpnMrouteCmcastSourceAddrs
and mvpnMrouteNextHopSourceAddrs plural with the final 's'?)

Perhaps using subsections to separate the various tables' descriptions
would aid readability.

Abstract


  This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
  for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
  In particular, it describes managed objects to configure and/or
  monitor Multicast communication over IP Virtual Private Networks
  (VPNs) supported by MultiProtocol Label Switching/Border Gateway
  Protcol (MPLS/BGP) on a Provider Edge router.

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?

  Standards Track.

(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

  This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
  for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
  In particular, it describes managed objects to configure and/or

Working Group Summary

  There is good consensus from the WG, and there is no controversy.

Document Quality
 
  There was active discussion in the WG, it passed the MIB Doctor
  and experts review, many valuable comments received and
  addressed. A number of iterations reflecting that.

Personnel
  Document Shepherd: Mach Chen
  Responsible Area Director: Alvaro Retana

(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.

  The Document Shepherd has reviewed the draft and raised some 
  comments that have been solved in the latest version. After the review,
  the Document Shepherd thinks that there is no outstanding issue with the
  draft and it is ready for publication.


(4) Does the document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or
breadth of the reviews that have been performed?

  No.

(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.

  No.

(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.

  No.

(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.

(8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document?
If so, summarize any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR
disclosures.

  None.

(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? 

  There is good consensus from the WG.

(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.)

  No.

(11) Identify any ID nits the Document Shepherd has found in this
document. (See https://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ and the Internet-Drafts
Checklist). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be
thorough.

  No.

criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.

  Glenn Mansfield Keeni is assigned as the MIB Doctor, he gave a
  lot of review comments that have been addressed in version 13.

(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

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).

  The IANA section is well written, all IANA requests are clearly identified.

(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.

  No additional IANA registries are requested.
