[Ballot comment]

- (Nearly a discuss) Section 7 refers back to RFC5920
(from 5 years ago) and RFC6163 (presumably the 3 paragraph
section 7) and also claims that there is "no substantial
reason to to expect the security considerations to be any
different." That's pretty unimpressive to be honest. Don't
you think it'd be reasonable to expect that a new
architecture, framework and set of protocols for high
speed networks should today include a thorough security
and privacy analysis done afresh and not simply referring
back to previous work? For example, is it not likely that
in some cases new IGP security primitives might be needed,
or that virtualisation and data centre trends would mean
that some additional isolation between different folks'
data was desirable or that some kind of automated key
management be finally required to be included from the
start of the design of any new control plane? (This isn't
a discuss as it's probably better to hold that kind of
discussion for a next stage when some architecture or
protocols are defined.)

[Ballot comment]
To folluw up on the recent OPS-DIR reveiw by Tina Tsou:

I have reviewed this document as part of the Operational directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG. These comments were written with the intent of improving the operational aspects of the IETF drafts. Comments that are not addressed in last call may be included in AD reviews during the IESG review.
Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments.

Technical Comments:
This document provides a complete framework for GMPLS flexi-grid network. Technical comments are as follow:
1. It is not clear how the parameter n are determined.
In page 22 the last two paragraphs are as follow:
o  Each downstream node ensures that m is >= requested_m.
o  A downstream node cannot foresee what an upstream node will allocate.  A way to ensure that the effective frequency slot is valid along the length of the LSP is to ensure that the same value of n is allocated at each hop.  By forcing the same value of n we avoid cases where the effective frequency slot of the media channel is invalid (that is, the resulting frequency slot cannot be described by its n and m parameters).

When mentioning “a downstream nod cannot foresee…”, it should be clear that what the downstream node can receive from upstream adjacent node (probably in PATH message). Do downstream node(s) need to select an effective central frequency (n) from a set of them? And what is corresponding criteria? Random selection? It may be a little bit ‘solution’ instead of ‘framework & requirement’, however, it is mentioned ‘forcing the same value of n’ (should consider changing to ‘standard track’ if new node behavior introduced), so it had better to specify what kind of information is included in both request message (PATH) and response message (RESV).
Moreover, if Path message include any central frequency information (n), or a set of them, the Path message in Fig. 15 and 16 should be shown as Path(n, m_req).

2. Section 5.5, the support for neighbor discovery should not be a MAY, consider a SHALL or even MUST.


Editorial Comments:
1. Some terminologies are misleading. There are a few places using term ‘frequency slot width’, which confuses the reader (can be either understand of frequency slot or slot width) and should be corrected.
In Section 4.5 (p21), first paragraph in page 21, there are two ‘frequency slot width’, should be corrected as ‘frequency slot’.
In Section 5.1.1 (p30), second paragraph, there is one ‘frequency slot width’, should be corrected as ‘slot width’.
In Section 5.2 (p31), first paragraph, there is one ‘frequency slot width’, should be corrected as ‘slot width’.

2. The description of Fig. 3, now saying “The ‘^’ represents the slot nominal central frequency”, it is not clear what is ‘slot nominal central frequency’, should be ‘nominal central frequency’ or ‘the position of nominal central frequency’.

3. Figure 15 and 16 are labeled as ‘Distributed Allocation with Different m and Same/Different n’ respectively, however it is not clear why we need to mention ‘distributed’. There is no centralized mechanism in this draft, suggest removing the ‘distributed’.

The IESG has received a request from the Common Control and Measurement
Plane WG (ccamp) to consider the following document:
- 'Framework and Requirements for GMPLS-based control of Flexi-grid DWDM
  networks'
  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 2015-07-23. 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


  To allow efficient allocation of optical spectral bandwidth for high
  bit-rate systems, the International Telecommunication Union
  Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) has extended its
  Recommendations G.694.1 and G.872 to include a new dense wavelength
  division multiplexing (DWDM) grid by defining a set of nominal
  central frequencies, channel spacings and the concept of "frequency
  slot".  In such an environment, a data plane connection is switched
  based on allocated, variable-sized frequency ranges within the
  optical spectrum creating what is known as a flexible grid (flexi-
  grid).

  This document defines a framework and the associated control plane
  requirements for the GMPLS-based control of flexi-grid DWDM networks.

This document is requested for publication as an Informational document.

This is appropriate because the document describes the framework for
a network and high-level requirements for control plane extensions.
Although the document contains some RFC 2119 language, this is limited
to very high-level network requirements. The appropriate track for this
document has been extensively discussed on the WG mailing list and with
the Chairs and Responsible AD.

This track is noted in the document header.

> Technical Summary:

To allow efficient allocation of optical spectral bandwidth for high
bit-rate systems, the International Telecommunication Union
Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) has extended its
Recommendations G.694.1 and G.872 to include a new dense wavelength
division multiplexing (DWDM) grid by defining a set of nominal

This document defines a framework and the associated control plane
requirements for the GMPLS-based control of flexi-grid DWDM networks.

> Working Group Summary:

This document has been reviewed by the CCAMP working group and received
some comments at IETF meetings and on the mailing list.

There was some early and intense discussion about whether to include
capabilities for data plane features under development in, but not yet
standardised by, the ITU-T. The WG came to consensus that these must
remain out of scope for now.

There were no problems with consensus for this document.

> Document Quality:

The work has had contributions from a large group of people. This
arises from the combination of a number of drafts, and also from great
early interest in the work. Additionally, the work has had external
review from the IDEALIST EU project that is making multiple inter-
operating implementions of a GMPLS control plane for flexi-grid.

No such reviews needed.

None such.

idnits warns about normative references to ITU Recommendations as

idnits is clean appart from false positives.

> (12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review

No such reviews needed.

> (13) Have all references within this document been identified as

All references correctly identified.

> (14) Are there normative references to documents that are not ready

None such.

idnits warns about normative references to ITU Recommendations as
potential downrefs, but everything is OK.

> (16) Will publication of this document change the status of any

No issues.

The document contains a "null" IANA considerations section. This is
appropriate.

> (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

None such.

>      etc.

No such sections.
