Given how flawed this document is, I believe it's unlikely to deploy and/or interoperate and thus unlikely to cause any significant harm. However, this document has WG consensus and the domain-expert area director believes it has IETF consensus (implicit in his yes vote). Unless the authors/WG want to do extensive reworking on this document based on the IESG comments, I would prefer to error on the side of publication. I do think an IESG note summarizing the concerns of the IESG would be appropriate and worth modest effort. |

It might be understandable by someone who participated in the WG discussions and also is in the middle of implementing VCCV, but the document is very hard for others to follow. Unfortunately this is a rather difficult "DISCUSS" that will take work to address, but it would be highly desirable to have something along the lines of: - a review of failure modes - a functional description of tools required to detect/diagnose failures described above (what tools are available, and how they relate to each other) - implementation details for tools described above. |

While I am sure the technical content is accessible for someone that has a long history in the WG, I could not follow it, and the Secdir and Gen-ART reviewers expressed similar difficulties. I am also concerned that technical flaws in the content have been overlooked due to the structural problems. I believe the document would benefit greatly from an editing pass with the non-WG reader in mind. |

I have spent hours trying to understand ten pages of text so far. - Many sentences are simply not complete or grammatical. - There's too much passive voice (not just a stylistic issue but creating ambiguity about the subject of the sentence) and generally awkward constructions even when sentences are grammatical. - Many abbreviations not spelled out, others are used inconsistently. - The document is organized so poorly I can't tell when some requirements are general and when they're specific to the mechanism discussed locally. - Some requirements are in conflict (e.g. MUST vs NOT RECOMMENDED in 5.5.). |

The largest problem is that … [Ballot comment] This is a very strong abstain. I think this document should not be published in its current form. The largest problem is that the document is not clear enough to lead to interoperable implementations or to build a reasonable base for future work. As best I can tell the document contains the following: * A proposed PWE3 architectural element for connectivity verification * A mechanism for negotiating a management channel type and which connectivity verification to use for LDP. * The same mechanism for L2TPV3 * Definitions of various channels for carrying this OAM information. * Definitions of the connectivity methods. For all of the above except the architecture bit, the MPLS and L2TP bits are separate. However this is less than clear in the document. Also, the layering is less than clear. It's not clear to me how you would add a new type of channel for OAM information or how you would define a new connectivity type. The restrictions for what works with what are scattered everywhere. This is not organized for extensibility. I think the interactions with BFD are horribly under specified. There is four pages of text describing BFD for V4 and V6 covering applicability, encapsulation, initialization, etc. This document simply refers to BFD without the IP and UDP header. It does not even cite the BFD document that talks about running BFD with UDP; it cites the base spec. I believe that if BFD over PWE3 without a UDP header is going to be specified, it needs to be specified with as much care as the other BFD applications. Everything in this spec is optional. I understand that MPLS PSNs do not interoperate with L2TP today. First, even so, they may need common connectivity verification mechanisms to meet the requirements of MS PWE3. It's not clear how you actually would be able to do that with this mechanism. You need to know what the other segments will select before you can perform the simple negotiation in this mechanism. But let's ignore that for the moment. You definitely want two PEs that support the same PSN and PW-type to have interoperable OAM functions. That requires some of the options here be mandatory to implement. Finally, security is inadequate. Consider for example a situation where you are using 802 security over an ethernet PWE3. LDP with TCPMD5 provides signaling security. How do you protect the OAM traffic with this mechanism? There needs to be some sort of security mechanism. One possibility would be to negotiate keys to protect BFD. It is possible to fix these complaints. I suspect it would require close to a full document rewrite. I do not have the time to dedicate to working with the authors to accomplish this. However I think publication without fixing these concerns would be harmful to the Internet. |

It seems to be possible to vary within quite large intervals. This makes me wonder about the need for congestion controlling VCCV, especially in cases when dedicated resources are not used. I would like to have some clear understanding on how much resources may be consumed. Is this below a full suppressed TCP connection or is it more? If more then the document needs specification on how a peer can throttle the peers emission of VCCV messages. Also in the case dedicated resources are available, there are no discussion on the need to consider both VCCV and the actual PW data when assigning the resources. Third some discussion are needed in the document about how you can restrict the amount of VCCV traffic. This also ties into the security consideration warning about throttling due to limited control plane resources in peers. There need to be some discussion on what is reasonable to do, and how one prioritize different type of VCCV messages to achieve minimal performance impact when performing operation over resource limited channels. |

This document heavily relies on draft-ietf-bfd-base, which rigthly is listed as a Normative Reference, which means that it cannot should wait for the approval (at least) of draft-ietf-bfd-base before being published. My question is whether the approval of this document does not come too early, taking into account that draft-ietf-bfd-base did not even get consensus for submission in the WG, and later changes in the BFD specification cannot possibly have impact here. |

These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments. The security considerations section discusses a number of denial of service vulnerabilities and man-in-the-middle vulnerabilities. "All of the attacks above ... may be countered by ..." - why are countering technologies not REQUIRED or RECOMMENDED as part of compliance to this standards track document? There seem to be lots of vulnerabilities, but no required or recommended responses to the identified vulnerabilties (e.g., mandatory to implement solutions). The vulnerabilities are identified at a per-device level, but I the security considerations doesn't go into any detail on the impact on the security and stability of the network. I found it difficult to do a security review of this document. There seem to be options on options on options in this draft, including lots of "MUST use in combination" and "MUST NOT use in combination.". PWE3 is an area in which I am not experienced, and experience might have helped. The security considerations section might need a state table to chart the potential vulnerabilities of each combination of options, including all the options that one MUST NOT do in combination, which an attacker might deliberately do in combination. The document has a lot of redundant text, but it is unclear to me whether it is actually redundant or simply required to be restated within each of the conditional hierarchies. I found a lot of grammar mistakes in this document, and they tend to be typographical errors (e.g., sentences missing verbs) and not mistakes commonly made by non-native English speakers (e.g. articles, plurality). I suspect this document has not been reviewed as thoroughly as it should be by the WG, and that makes me concerned that the security considerations for all the complex choices may not have been adequately reviewed by people who have a good understanding of PWE technologies. I recommend two things. One - the WG should review this document again to determine if all the redundant text is necessary and whether a state table or reorganization of the text could greatly simplify this document so the security implications can be clarified. Two - a security reviewer with PWE3 background should review this document. David Harrington dharrington@huawei.com dbharrington@comcast.net ietfdbh@comcast.net |

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? Stewart Bryant (stbryant@cisco.com) PWE3 co-chair. I have read this version of the document and it is now ready for IEFT Last Call. (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 been thoroughly reviewed by the PWE3 WG. The use of BFD without UDP was discussed with the BFD authors but not formally presented to the BFD WG. However I propose that we address this by CCing the BFD WG list when we send this to IETF Last Call. (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? See (1.b). I have no other concerns. (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. There are no issues that the chairs are aware of. 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. An IPR statement was filed by Cisco a few days ago. https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/ipr_detail_show.cgi?&ipr_id=814 Cisco originally submitted an IPR statement in August 2006, but for some unkown reason this did not get recorded on the IPR page. I sent an email to the PWE3 list explaining the position. http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/pwe3/current/msg08837.html I propose that we proceed with the publication process and address any IPR comments as part of IETF last call. (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? There is strong consensus for the document. (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 one has threatened to appeal. (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the document satisfies all ID nits? Yes http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html 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? Yes (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and informative? Yes 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]. Yes [BFD] Katz, D. and D. Ward, "Bidirectional Forwarding Detection", draft-ietf-bfd-base-05 (work in progress), June 2006. Strategy is to work with the new Routing AD to ensure its expeditious completion. (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA consideration section exists and is consistent with the body of the document? Yes If the document specifies protocol extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA registries? Yes 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 [RFC2434]. 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? Shepard is one of the Experts that need to do the review. There is on very minor policy that I need to confer on, but otherwise the IANA requirements are in good shape. (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? Not applicable (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 This document describes a protocol that provides a control channel that is associated with a Pseudowire (PW), and its use for operations and management functions such as connectivity verification to be used over that control channel. VCCV applies to all supported access circuit and transport types currently defined for PWs. Working Group Summary This document has been reviewed by the experts in the PWE3 WG and there are no outstanding issues. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Yes Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Yes 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? Not applicable. Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd for this document? Stewart Bryant (stbryant@cisco.com) Who is the Responsible Area Director? Mark Townsley (townsley@cisco.com) Is an IANA expert needed? Yes. The PWE3 chairs are the experts for the registry concerned. |
