Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Registration Extension
draft-ietf-hip-rfc5203-bis-11

[Ballot comment]
This bis draft was an improvement. I did have one question.

I'm trying to visualize why

  The registrar indicates the minimum and maximum registration lifetime
  that it is willing to offer to a requester.  A requester SHOULD NOT
  request registration with lifetime greater than the maximum
  registration lifetime or smaller than the minimum registration
  lifetime.
 
is a SHOULD NOT - why would a requester choose to disregard the SHOULD and send a request registration with (for example) a lifetime greater than the maximum registration lifetime?

Is the intention for the requester to allow this, and then (for example) cap the lifetime at the maximum registration lifetime? Or is something else supposed to happen?

Whatever the intention is, it might be helpful to provide an explanation about that.

3.3 - This fails to distinguish between an invalid
certificate (e.g. bad signature, unknown signer) and one
that is valid, but is not acceptable for this purpose.  I
don't get why that is ok for HIP, can you explain?  If it
is ok, I think you need to say so. If it is not ok (as I'd
suspect) then you appear to need to change text or one more
new error code.

Section 7 - I'm fine that this doesn't repeat stuff
from 5203, but a sentence saying to go look there too
would maybe be good. (I'm not sure if that would fix
Alexey's discuss or not. If not, then ignore me and
just talk to him about his discuss.)

I don't believe IANA Considerations section is correct: it points to a document that gets obsoleted by this one, yet the original document creates new subregistries. This makes the status of earlier established registries unclear. Also, other sections have references to Section 7 (e.g. for registration types) which no longer contain relevant information.
I think you should copy the original IANA registration section in its entirety and clearly mark new allocations in it.

[Ballot comment]
I found the "changed since" Appendix, so never mind that ;-)

It would be good if the document said that a registration type is 1 octet without the need to look at the packet diagrams or IANA registration text from RFC 5203 that you deleted.

(Via drafts-lastcall-comment@iana.org): IESG/Authors/WG Chairs:

IANA has completed its review of draft-ietf-hip-rfc5203-bis-09.txt. If any part of this review is inaccurate, please let us know.

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

First, in the Parameter Types subregistry of the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Parameters located at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/hip-parameters/

the four references to RFC 5203 will be updated to [ RFC-to-be ].

Second, in the Registration Failure Types subregistry alson in the Host Identity Protocol (HIP) Parameters located at:

http://www.iana.org/assignments/hip-parameters/

two, new failure types are to be registered as follows:

Value: [ TBD-at-Registration ]
Registration Failure Type: Insufficient resources
Reference: [ RFC-to-be ]

Value: [ TBD-at-Registration ]
Registration Failure Type: Invalid certificate
Reference: [ RFC-to-be ]

IANA understands that these are the only actions 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. This message is only to confirm what actions will be performed.

Document Writeup for draft-ietf-hip-rfc5203-bis-09


(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. This document is intended to obsolete RFC 5203,
  which was an Experimental RFC.

(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:

  obsoletes RFC5203.

Working Group Summary:

  There was WG consensus behind this document.

Document Quality:

  As discussed in RFC 6538, there are several implementations of the
  Experimental HIP specs. At least HIP for Linux and OpenHIP will be
  updated to comply with the standards-track specs.

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.
