As ar as I can see, one point remains from my Discuss that was not addressed in email or in the revised I-D... Section 5 is a little timid about the consequences of misconfiguration. It is true that misconfiguration "will not cause any persistent loops or black holing of traffic", but it might cause the network to be partitioned. You should indicate how misconfiguration is detected and notified to the operator by a conformant node (presumably when it receives a network LSA from the DR, or when it does not receive a link Type 1 advertisement with a link cost). |

Perhaps the authors expect that readers will be so intimately familiar with OSPF design that the motivation for each change will be obvious. 5) s5: Section 5 considers cases where some routers on a broadcast network follow the hybrid behavior and other follow the broadcast/NBMA behavior. OSPF works on the assumption that all routers share the same dataset and therefore each will compute shortest paths that will not introduce loops. In this case, not all routers will be working from the same dataset of links, raising concern about loops. Section 5 (briefly) says that in this case there would be "no traffic traversing certain pairs of routers" but no loops. I can understand that enough to believe it. But I am not as confident that a router that produces both the network LSA and a router LSA with the p2mp links could not confuse the situation sufficiently to produce loops. I wonder if the authors have considered that case. I'm sorry that I was not able to devote the time to the shortest path computation to resolve this lack of confidence for myself. 6) section 4.5 says "the DR MUST NOT generate a network LSA for the interface." OSPF's specs in general do not recommend reporting errors, or I would suggest a new error report if a network LSA were spotted on an interface that was designated as hybrid. |

These are all conformance and configuration statements that have nothing to … [Ballot comment] The use of 2119 language in sections 4.1 and 4.2 is bogus. These are all conformance and configuration statements that have nothing to do (at least as stated) with requirements (or options) for interoperability or prevention of damage. For example, in 4.1: Routers MUST support configuration of the Router Priority for the interface. The default value of the LinkLSASuppression is "disabled". It MAY be set to "enabled" via configuration. Change to: Routers implementing this specification will have a configuration option for the Router Priority for the interface. The default value of the LinkLSASuppression is "disabled". It may be set to "enabled" via configuration. Similarly for 4.2. In 4.8, you also have odd constructions with the 2119 language: o If a router is the DR on the interface, it MUST NOT examine the pre-restart network LSA for the interface in order to determine the previous set of adjacencies. The requirement is not on the examination, it is on the use. I suggest simply: o If a router is the DR on the interface, the pre-restart network LSA for the interface MUST NOT be used to determine the previous set of adjacencies. For the other bullet: o If a router is in state DROther on the interface, it MUST consider an adjacency to non-DR and non-BDR neighbors as reestablished when the neighbor state reaches 2-Way. "Considering" is not the requirement. In fact, I suspect this is not a requirement at all, but rather a definition. I think this works better: o If a router is in state DROther on the interface, an adjacency to non-DR and non-BDR neighbors is reestablished when the neighbor state reaches 2-Way. |

Can somoene do whatever's needed to ensure the IPR declaration will be linked from the tools page for the eventual RFC? [1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ospf-hybrid-bcast-and-p2mp [2] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nsheth-ospf-hybrid-bcast-and-p2mp - section 3: having read this, the motiviation still isn't very clear to this reader, perhaps a concrete example of different costs of communication that this spec addresses would help. - 4.1 & 4.2: what does " It MAY be set to "enabled" via configuration" in 4.1 mean? It seems like a tautology so I don't know what you're trying to say. Similarly, in 4.2, " It MAY be set to a different value using mechanisms which are outside the scope of this document" is odd. - expanding DR/BDR in 4.4 would be good. |

It is unclear to me when a router supporting this new interface type would ever generate a Network LSA. But, section 4.5 says that routers SHOULD NOT generate one, rather than MUST NOT generate one. In what situation(s), would a router want to generate a Network LSA for an interface configured to operate in this new fashion? 2. Section 7 identifies MIB variables that need to be modified to support this new interface type. Is there any intention of doing the MIB update to incorporate these changes? I do not readily see a WG draft that proposes these updates. |

Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-07-19. 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 This document describes a mechanism to model a broadcast network as a hybrid of broadcast and point-to-multipoint networks for purposes of OSPF operation. Neighbor discovery and maintenance as well as LSA database synchronization are performed using the broadcast model, but the network is represented using the point-to-multipoint model in the router LSAs of the routers connected to it. This allows an accurate representation of the cost of communication between different routers on the network, while maintaining the network efficiency of broadcast operation. This approach is relatively simple and requires minimal changes to OSPF. This document updates both OSPFv2 [RFC2328] and OSPFv3 [RFC5340]. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-hybrid-bcast-and-p2mp/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-hybrid-bcast-and-p2mp/ballot/ The following IPR declaration is applicable to this draft https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1529/ |

Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-07-19. 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 This document describes a mechanism to model a broadcast network as a hybrid of broadcast and point-to-multipoint networks for purposes of OSPF operation. Neighbor discovery and maintenance as well as LSA database synchronization are performed using the broadcast model, but the network is represented using the point-to-multipoint model in the router LSAs of the routers connected to it. This allows an accurate representation of the cost of communication between different routers on the network, while maintaining the network efficiency of broadcast operation. This approach is relatively simple and requires minimal changes to OSPF. This document updates both OSPFv2 [RFC2328] and OSPFv3 [RFC5340]. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-hybrid-bcast-and-p2mp/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ospf-hybrid-bcast-and-p2mp/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. |

Why is this the proper type of RFC? Is this type of RFC indicated in the title page header? Proposed Standard (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 draft extends OSPFv2 with an additional interface type that has the property of supporting the adjacency reduction and flooding optimizations of broadcast networks while still allowing separate costs to be specified for each neighbor. Working Group Summary The only discussion worth noting was was how this document was positioned against the previously published MANET documents. We agreed that the MANET mechanisms could be used to accomplish the same goal but that the simplicity of this draft warrents standardization by the working group. Document Quality The document has gone through several WG review cycles and revisions. There is at least one implementation of the initial revision. Personnel Acee Lindem is the document shepherd and Stewart Bryant is the responsible AD. (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 was presented at two IETFs and went through several WG reviews. (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 interested community has discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns here. None. (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 discussion and conclusion regarding the IPR disclosures. Yes - Defensive patent. https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1529/ (9) How solid is the consensus of the interested community behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the interested community as a whole understand and agree with it? These is consensus behind the draft with the only questions coming authors of OSPF MANET experimental RFCs that may be used to accomplish the same end of getting the unequal costs and exploit multicast flooding. We resolved these questions by agreeing to also accept draft describing how these OSPF MANET extensions could be used. (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 http://www.ietf.org/tools/idnits/ and the Internet-Drafts Checklist). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough. All idnits errors and warnings have been resolved. (12) Describe how the document meets any required formal review criteria, such as the MIB Doctor, media type, and URI type reviews. Not applicable. (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 interested community considers it unnecessary. Yes. Updates RFC 2328 and RFC 5340. (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). This document doesn't require any IANA actions. The one added code point for the new interface type is not part of the protocol - only the reference implementation used to describer protocol behavior. (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. None. (19) Describe reviews and automated checks performed by to validate sections of the document written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc. Not Applicable. |
