The default configuration for a connection MUST be to use CRCs. The decision for hosts to request CRC suppression MAY be made on an administrative basis for any path that provides equivalent protection from undetected errors as an end-to-end CRC32c. Like many "consenting adults" statements in protocol documents, it leaves open how the two consent. The second statement also presumes path stability, which seems a pretty dubious proposition for anything not limited to a single link. Nit: AOne deterministic approach |

Black (RDDP WG Chair) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.a) Have the chairs personally reviewed this version of the Internet Draft (ID), and in particular, do they believe this ID is ready to forward to the IESG for publication? Yes. 1.b) Has the document had adequate review from both key WG members and key non-WG members? Yes, primarily from WG members. Do you have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? The draft has had limited review outside the WG. 1.c) Do you have concerns that the document needs more review from a particular (broader) perspective (e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with AAA, etc.)? No. 1.d) Do you have any specific concerns/issues with this document that you believe the ADs and/or IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps you are uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or have concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any event, if your issues have been discussed in the WG and the WG has indicated it that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns in the write-up. No. 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? Most of the WG is primarily interested in rddp over TCP. There is limited interest in SCTP. The portion of the WG that is interested in SCTP understands and agrees with this document. 1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate email to the Responsible Area Director. No. 1.g) Have the chairs verified that the document adheres to all of the ID nits? (see http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html). The online ID nits checker says everything is ok. 1.h) Is the document split into normative and informative references? Yes. All references are normative. Are there normative references to IDs, where the IDs are not also ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? (note here that the RFC editor will not publish an RFC with normative references to IDs, it will delay publication until all such IDs are also ready for publication as RFCs.) There are four normative references to Internet-Drafts: o draft-ietf-rddp-ddp, draft-ietf-rddp-rdmap - publication has already been requested. o draft-ietf-tsvwg-sctpsocket, draft-ietf-tsvwg-addip-sctp - I don't know the completion schedule for these tsvwg drafts. 1.i) For Standards Track and BCP documents, the IESG approval announcement includes a write-up section with the following sections: * Technical Summary * Working Group Summary * Protocol Quality 1.j) Please provide such a write-up. Recent examples can be found in the "protocol action" announcements for approved documents. -- Technical Summary This document describes a method to adapt Direct Data Placement (DDP) and Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) to Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) RFC2960 using a generic description found in the RDMA and DDP specifications. This adaption provides a method for two peers to know that each side is performing DDP or RDMA thus enabling hardware acceleration if available. Some implementations may include this adaptation layer within their SCTP implementations to obtain maximum performance but the behavior of SCTP will be unaffected. In order to accomplish this we specify the use of the new adaptation layer indication as defined in the SCTP ADDIP specification. -- Working Group Summary In contrast to the lengthy discussion of how to adapt rddp to TCP, there has been very little controversy over or dissent from this draft's approach for adapting rddp to SCTP. -- Protocol Quality The protocol has been reviewed for the rddp WG by David L. Black. Randy Stewart, an SCTP expert, is a co-author of this draft. |

In any event, if your issues have been discussed in the WG and the WG has indicated it that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns in the write-up. This draft contains a significant quantity of TCP-specific behavioral details. The WG has settled on an approach that does not involve making changes to TCP. Expert Review from a TCP expert would be a good idea to make sure that nothing has been overlooked that could result in an unintended TCP change or unwarranted restriction. 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? The WG as a whole understands and agrees with this document. 1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If so, please summarise the areas of conflict in separate email to the Responsible Area Director. Not recently. Doug Otis ceased participating in the rddp WG a long time ago. 1.g) Have the chairs verified that the document adheres to all of the ID nits? (see http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html). The ID nits online checker says everything is fine. 1.h) Is the document split into normative and informative references? Yes. Are there normative references to IDs, where the IDs are not also ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? (note here that the RFC editor will not publish an RFC with normative references to IDs, it will delay publication until all such IDs are also ready for publication as RFCs.) The only normative reference to an Internet-Draft is: o draft-ietf-rddp-security - publication has already been requested. 1.i) For Standards Track and BCP documents, the IESG approval announcement includes a write-up section with the following sections: * Technical Summary * Working Group Summary * Protocol Quality 1.j) Please provide such a write-up. Recent examples can be found in the "protocol action" announcements for approved documents. -- Technical Summary MPA (Marker Protocol data unit Aligned framing) is designed to work as an "adaptation layer" between TCP and the Direct Data Placement [DDP] protocol, preserving the reliable, in-order delivery of TCP, while adding the preservation of higher-level protocol record boundaries that DDP requires. MPA is fully compliant with applicable TCP RFCs and can be utilized with existing TCP implementations. MPA also supports integrated implementations that combine TCP, MPA and DDP to reduce buffering requirements in the implementation and improve performance at the system level. -- Working Group Summary The degree to which TCP should be changed for MPA (and hence the rddp protocol stack) has been a source of controversy. The WG has adopted an approach that requires no TCP modifications, and there is now strong WG consensus for that approach. -- Protocol Quality The protocol has been reviewed for the rddp WG by David L. Black. There are multiple implementations of the MPA protocol, including the Request and Reply frames for connection setup added by the WG at the direction of the Transport Area. |
