Such procedures are beyond the scope of this document. While these procedures are beyond the scope of this document, it would be helpful to identify which procedures the authors have in mind (or note that such procedure have yet to be developed). |

The Security Considerations section of the document claims that these extensions do not create any additional security risks. This may be the case, but I found it difficult to evaluate this claim given a basic knowledge of IS-IS and none of 802.1aq. My high-level impression is that the negotiations conducted through the mechanism defined in this document have the ability to affect layer-2 routing in new ways, with the implication that malicious actors in the protocol have new ways to influence traffic patterns or deny service to users. It would be helpful if the Security Considerations could explain why such manipulations are not possible using these extensions (which would seem to defeat the purpose of the extensions), or if they are, what assumptions need to be true in order for the protocol to operate properly. Do all internal network elements need to behave as specified? Only the SPB instances? |

The following convention is defined for the document in Section > The lower case forms "must", "must not", "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not" and "may" in this document are to be interpreted in the sense defined in [RFC2119], but are used where the normative behavior is defined in documents published by SDOs other than the IETF. There are two problems here that attracted my attention: - should really any form of "must" or "should" ,etc. that appears in this document be interpreted in the sense defined in [RFC2119]? This does not seem to be the intention, and I would prefer to make clear that this interpretation applies only in the sections that deal with the IEEE 802.1 documents. - The keywords "recommended" and "optional" are missing from the list. Is this intentional? While I could not find any instances of "recommended" I did find a few instances of "optional" which I would think should be interpreted in the sense defined in [RFC2119] - for example in section 4.1 2. In the IANA considerations section: > The MT-Capability TLV is the only TLV requiring a new sub-registry. Type value 144 (TBD) is requested, with a starting sub-TLV value of 1, and managed by Standards Action. Is really Standards Action necessary? Why would not Expert Review be sufficient? |

IANA understands that five separate actions are required to be completed upon approval of this document. First, the value 0xC1 has been assigned in the NLPIDs registry located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/nlpids/nlpids.xhtml IANA understands that no further action is required regarding this. Second, IANA understands that three new sub-TLVs are to be added to the MT-Port-Capability TLV. IANA understands that these sub-TLVs are: SPB-MCID SPB-Digest SPB-B-VID IANA Question --> IANA is unable to locate the current registration for the MT-Port-Capability TLV. Is this TLV being registered via a separate document? If the registration is already in place, could the authors provide a URL that points to it? Third, a new TLV is to be registered in the TLV Codepoints Registry in the IS-IS TLV Codepoints located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/isis-tlv-codepoints/isis-tlv-codepoints.xhtml as follows: Value: TBD Name: MT-Capability IIH: n LSP: y SNP: n Reference: [RFC-to-be] Fourth, a new sub-TLV registry is to be created for the new TLV codepoint created for MT-Capability. This sub-TLV registry will be located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/isis-tlv-codepoints/isis-tlv-codepoints.xhtml The sub-TLV registry will have four initial assignments, as follows: SPB-Inst SPB-I-OALG SPBM-SI SPBV-ADDR IANA Question --> What are the registration procedures for this new sub-TLV registry? Fifth, in the Sub-TLVs for TLV 22, 141, and 222 subregisty of the IS-IS TLV Codepoints registry located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/isis-tlv-codepoints/isis-tlv-codepoints.xhtml two new sub-TLVs are t be registered as follows: Type: TBD Description: SPB-Metric 22: y 141: n 222: y Reference: [RFC-to-be] Type: TBD Description: SPB-A-OALG 22: y 141: n 222: y Reference: [RFC-to-be] IANA understands that these are the only actions required to be completed upon approval of this document. |

Has the Document Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the document and, in particular, does he or she believe this version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication? David Ward (1.b) Has the document had adequate review both from key WG members and from key non-WG members? Does the Document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? The document has had lengthy review by the ISIS WG. There are no issues with the TLVs as currently defined. (1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document needs more review from a particular or broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with AAA, internationalization or XML? No (1.d) Does the Document Shepherd have any specific concerns or issues 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. Has an IPR disclosure related to this document been filed? If so, please include a reference to the disclosure and summarize the WG discussion and conclusion on this issue. There are no specific concerns and no known IPR. (1.e) 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? Strong consensus (1.f) 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 entered into the ID Tracker.) No (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the document satisfies all ID nits? (See the Internet-Drafts Checklist and http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ ). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough. Has the document met all formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB Doctor, media type and URI type reviews? The doc passes nits and it is believed all formal review criteria has been met. (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and informative? 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 strategy for their completion? Are there normative references that are downward references, as described in [RFC3967]? If so, list these downward references to support the Area Director in the Last Call procedure for them [RFC3967]. The references appear correctly formatted. (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA consideration section exists and is consistent with the body of the document? If the document specifies protocol extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA registries? Are the IANA registries clearly identified? If the document creates a new registry, does it define the proposed initial contents of the registry and an allocation procedure for future registrations? Does it suggest a reasonable name for the new registry? See [RFC5226]. If the document describes an Expert Review process has Shepherd conferred with the Responsible Area Director so that the IESG can appoint the needed Expert during the IESG Evaluation? The IANA considerations appear correct (1.j) Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the document that are written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc., validate correctly in an automated checker? Yes (1.k) 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. 802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) is being standardized by the IEEE as the next step in the evolution of the various spanning tree and registration protocols. 802.1aq allows for true shortest path forwarding in a mesh network context utilizing multiple equal cost paths. This permits it to support much larger layer 2 topologies, with faster convergence, and vastly improved use of the mesh topology. Combined with this is single point provisioning for logical connectivity membership (E-LINE/E-LAN/E-TREE etc). The control protocol for 802.1aq is IS-IS augmented with a small number of TLVs while the encapsulating data paths are respectively 802.1ad (Provider Bridges) and 802.1ah (Provider Backbone Bridges). This memo documents those TLVs while providing some overview. Note that 802.1aq requires no state machine or other substantive changes to. It is an intention that 802.1aq be simply a new NLPID and set of TLVs. 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? There was nothing special in the review once this technology was split into it's own document. 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 are known, multiple implementations and there has been public interoperability testing. An implementation report is forthcoming though not part of this draft. |
