Also section 2.6 refers to SSM this way. These terms and references for SSM should be changed to "Source Specific Multicast" and reference RFC4607. Those are the right terms and the RFC1112 (ASM) equivalent definition of SSM. b) I suggest including an appendix section highlighting the functional and value proposition differences between this NAK building block and the equivalent found in PGM. There is some discussion in NORM (RFC3940) in section 5.5.2 about this, which is difficult to grok, butIi think it would belong (in better wording) into this NAK building block. c) I'd like the authors to add a discussion about the applicability of network based NAK implosion and/or local retransmitter based optimizations to this building block, and whether or not it would be possible to do this such that it can be added as an afterthought into deployments without changes to senders and/or receivers to better scale them upon increase of topology and/or group-size. It's not clear to me how to best have this highlighted, because this is just the building block and not the full protocol, so one might argue that this is a NORM issue, not a NAK building block issue, but it also seems quite impossible to me to resolve this issue without impacting the NAK building block. For example, section 4 paragraph 2 of this draft talks about scalability limitation of NAK approaches, but all of this is only true when you do assume no network based optimization of retransmission. |

Having once long ago looked at … [Ballot comment] I just have a few minor comments that the authors can address or not at their discretion. Having once long ago looked at a few reliable multicast protocols I had noticed that reliable multicast is in fact a family of loosely related problems rather than one problem, and I am quite pleased that this document recognizes and clarifies this, and is focused on an approach that supports multiple related solutions. Questions: Does this document obsolete RFC3941? If so it should say so. Minor: I think that you should say a bit more about what to do when one receiver, or a few receivers, are suffering from either much slower or much less reliable service than other receivers. One option would be to slow down the entire group. Another option would be to remove the receiver from the group, and either serve it in a different group, or not serve it at all. Is there some threshold below which a receiver should be cut out of the group (since it would be harming service to everyone else)? Is this so obvious that it doesn't need to be discussed? Minor Editorial: In section 1, the following sentence is at best awkward, and is probably not grammatically quite right: Here the protocol mechanism for reliability is described as a "repair process" since the use of packet-based Forward Error Correction (FEC) erasure coding for recovery of missing packets as compared to classical re-transmission schemes. I have two questions regarding this sentence. One issue is that my understanding of FEC is that it can be used to substantially reduce the probability of error. However, it can't completely eliminate any chance of error. Also, the document otherwise talks about NAKs, suggesting that there will be cases where receivers have figured out that they are missing something (and something like "classic retransmission" may be needed). Thus on the one hand I can't figure out what this sentence is intending to say (and my second problem is that whatever it is trying to say, I don't think that it does). In reading section 2 (top of page 5) there is the mention of bulk transfer. At this point I was wondering whether this referred to a known fixed length bulk transfer (in the case that one receiver among a great many miss a few packets, this would allow reliable multicast by transmitting the whole thing once and then going back and retransmitting parts that someone missed) versus indefinite length bulk transfer (which needs a different solution). About 20 pages later I found the correct answer in section 3.5 on page 25 (which is that both need to be supported). I am wondering if there should be a very brief forward reference on page 5 (although a reader might assume that they need to read on if they have such questions early in the document). |

This needs to be a MUST. I would expect (current or future) security ADs to block progression of reliable muticast protocols that did *not* address these considerations, so let's be clear about the requirement up front. (Given that the remainder of this section provides a number of hints about using an IPsec-based approach, this isn't too much of a burden on the protocol developer anyway.) |

Authentication is good, but I'd expect this to tie into the (very brief) "Reliable Multicast Member Identification" section (3.4). A bit more discussion in the main text might be in order, particularly since, as the Security Considerations already mention, a participant in protocols based on this building block can misbehave in ways that hurt other participants. (In particular, if member identification is done inside the actual content, and cryptographic authentication is provided by IPsec (which doesn't inspect the content, only the headers), there's clearly room for participants to send different information in these two layers.) - "Encryption" is not a security service, it's a technique for providing certain security services. It's better to be specific about the security services these protocols need: confidentiality? data integrity? and, in each case, why? Don't tell me, put it in the Security Considerations. (I agree, it's not clear how encryption is relevant to the discussion in that paragraph; authentication and data integrity certainly are.) - I couldn't quite figure out what the authors meant by "a digital signature on the IPsec Encapsulating Security Protocol (ESP) payload". I could guess, but that's not the point. This should be rephrased or clarified. (Maybe reference to RFC4359?) |

However, such group-based authentication may not be sufficient unless the receiver population can be completely trusted. Additionally, this can make identification of badly-behaving (although authenticated) receiver nodes problematic as such nodes could potentially masquerade as other receivers in the group. In deployments such as this, one SHOULD consider use of Specific-Source Multicast (SSM) instead of Any-Source Multicast (ASM) models of multicast operation. I don't see how SSM will help. AFAIKS, SSM reduces the number of senders, but the one sender still has a big problem to solve. You continue: SSM can simplify security challenges with senders providing a centralized management point for secure group operation. When individual host authentication is required, then it is possible receivers could use a digital signature on the IPsec Encapsulating Security Protocol (ESP) payload. Either an identity-based signature system or a group- specific public key infrastructure could avoid per-receiver state at the sender(s). Additionally, implementations MAY also support policies to limit the impact of extremely or exceptionally poor- performing (due to bad behavior or otherwise) receivers upon overall group operation if this acceptable for the relevant application. I thnk that the last MAY should be a MUST. Otherwise, one poor performer could severely impact everybody. Also, it is not clear to me how you react when N parties fall behind because they are bandwidth constrained. Does the sender slow down or ingnore NAKs from bandwidth constrained receivers. |

This document represent a solid consensus of the RMT WG. (1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If so, please summarize 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 discontent of significant concern have been raised about this document. (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the document satisfies all ID nits? (See 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? If the document does not already indicate its intended status at the top of the first page, please indicate the intended status here. The Document Shepherd has personally verified that the document satisfies all ID nits. draft-ietf-rmt-bb-norm-revised-03 is intended for publication in the "Proposed Standard" category. (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 document splits its references into normative and informative. The normative reference are in RFC published status. None of the normative reference is a downward reference. (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document's IANA Considerations 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 [RFC2434]. If the document describes an Expert Review process, has the Document Shepherd conferred with the Responsible Area Director so that the IESG can appoint the needed Expert during IESG Evaluation? The IANA consideration section exists. It states that this document does not have any IANA dependency. (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? The documents contains no section written in formal language. (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. Working Group Summary Was there anything in the WG process that is worth noting? For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol?

Document Announcement Write-Up for draft-ietf-rmt-bb-norm-revised-03 follows. Technical Summary This document is an RMT Building Block that specifies data and procedures useful for building a reliable multicast transport protocol based on negative-acknowledgment (NACK) feedback. draft-ietf-rmt-bb-norm-revised-03 specifically defines the following main components for use in protocol instantiations: 1) Multicast sender transmission strategies 2) NACK repair process with timer-based feedback suppression 3) Round-trip timing for adapting NACK and other timers draft-ietf-rmt-bb-norm-revised-03 also includes context information defining the intended usage and applicability of the NACK building Block, in compliance with RFC 3269. Another RMT WG document, draft-ietf-rmt-pi-norm-revised, uses the specifications in this document to fully-define a NACK based reliable multicast transport protocol. Working Group Summary There is consensus in the WG to publish this documents. Document Quality The NORM Protocol Specification (RFC3940 and revised draft) is based upon the techniques described in this "building block" document. A public domain, open source implementation of the NORM protocol is available for use from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. This implementation has been widely used in a number of applications, including military and commercial systems. The INRIA has an implementation in progress. The content of this document was already reviewed and approved for publication as experimental RFC 3941. This document contains minor technical modifications.
