[Ballot discuss]

  The Gen-ART Review by Richard Barnes on 2-Feb-2013 raised a question,
  and I have not seen a response.  The use of "likely" in the discussion
  of backward compatibility does not really help an implementor know
  what to do. I strongly prefer more precise language.

  From the Gen-ART Review:
  >
  > Section 2.1.  Would be helpful to either include the old formats
  > and/or say explicitly what is changing.
  >
  > Section 2.2. 
  > "Nodes which support" -> "nodes that support" 
  > "Ordering of CONFIG objects" -> "... With different C-type values"
  >
  > Section 3.1.MBZ. Might help to clarify that this means that the
  > number of bits MUST be a multiple of 32. (I got a little confused
  > between bits and bytes here.)
  >
  > Section 4. "Likely"
  > Is it possible for a 4204-compliant implementation to not do one
  > of these?  If so then remove "likely".  If not, then why happens

[Ballot comment]
A strictly procedural question for the shepherd and the AD. The writeup says:

  There have been no public statements related to implementations,
  though significant interest was expressed by the working group to
  progress this extension of the LMP protocol in support of future extensions.

The two halves of that sentence seem incongruous. If there is no indication that anyone wants to use this extension mechanism, but it's just that it seems like a good idea for future extensions, I wonder why this is worth doing, especially given backwards compatibility issues outlined in section 4. Is there really nobody that is planning a new extension that intends to use this mechanism?

I don't intend to block the document on these grounds, but I do think it is worth an answer. The shepherd writeup was extremely thin all around.

IANA has reviewed draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-behavior-negotiation-09 and has the following comments:

IANA has a question about the Second Action below.

IANA understands that, upon approval of this document, there are two
actions which IANA must complete.

First, in the CONFIG Object Class type name space (Value 6) subregistry of the Link Management Protocol (LMP) located at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/lmp-parameters/lmp-parameters.xml

a new value is to be registered as follows:

C-Type: [ TBD at time of registration ]
Description: BehaviorConfig
Reference: [ RFC-to-be ]

IANA notes that the authors have suggested a value of "3" for the C-Type in this assignment.

Second, a new subregistry of the Link Management Protocol (LMP) located at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/lmp-parameters/lmp-parameters.xml

is to be created. The new registry will be named the "LMP Behaviour Configuration Flags" registry. Maintenance and new registrations in this registry will be done through Standards Action as defined in RFC 5266.

The new subregistry has initial registrations as follows:

Bit Bit Meaning Reference
Number Name
--------+----------+-------------------------------------------+------------------
0 S SONET/SDH support [ RFC-to-be ]
1 D DWDM support [ RFC-to-be ]
2 C Data Channel consistency check support [ RFC-to-be ]
3 -
8152 Unassigned

Question->Is it correct to use the word "Behaviour" in the name for
the new registry "LMP Behaviour Configuration Flags"? It appears
that the document uses "behavior" (without 'u') throughout.

IANA understands that these two actions are the only ones required to
be completed upon approval of this document.

Note: The actions requested in this document will not be completed
until the document has been approved for publication as an RFC.

Reply-To: ietf@ietf.org
Subject: Last Call:  (Link Management Protocol Behavior Negotiation and Configuration Modifications) to Proposed Standard


The IESG has received a request from the Common Control and Measurement
Plane WG (ccamp) to consider the following document:
- 'Link Management Protocol Behavior Negotiation and Configuration
  Modifications'
  as Proposed Standard

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 2013-01-21. 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

  The Link Management Protocol (LMP) is used to coordinate the
  properties, use, and faults of data links in Generalized
  Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks. This document
  defines an extension to LMP to negotiate capabilities and indicate
  support for LMP extensions. The defined extension is compatible
  with non-supporting implementations.

  This document updates RFC 4204, RFC 4207, RFC 4209 and RFC 5818.

(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?
Proposed Standard. Yes.
(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 Link Management Protocol (LMP) is used to coordinate the properties, use, and faults of data links in Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks. This document defines an extension to LMP to negotiate capabilities and indicate support for LMP extensions. The defined extension is compatible with non-supporting implementations.

Working Group Summary:

Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough?
No concerns, the document had good support.

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?
There have been no public statements related to implementations, though significant interest was expressed by the working group to progress this extension of the LMP protocol in support of future extensions.

Personnel:

Who is the Document Shepherd? Who is the Responsible Area Director?
Deborah Brungard is the Document Shepherd. Adrian Farrel 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.
The document 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 concerns.
(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 concerns.
(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 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?
Yes.
(8) Has an IPR disclosure been filed that references this document? If so, summarize any WG discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR disclosures.
No IPR disclosures filed.
(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?
The WG supports this document.
(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.)
None.
(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.
Nits passed.
(12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews.
No concerns.
(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?
No.
(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.
No.
(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 WG considers it unnecessary.
This document updates RFC 4204, RFC 4207, RFC 4209 and RFC 5818 (as listed on the title page and abstract).
(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).
No concerns.
(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 concerns.
(19) Describe reviews and automated checks performed by the Document Shepherd to validate sections of the document written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc.
No concerns.
