mboned: draft-ietf-mboned-ipv4-mcast-unusable-01.txt


	Folks,

	Pekka had some fairly detailed comments on this one. I'm
	looking for some discussion on whether we need to
	reconsider the approach taken in the draft (noting that
	his was the only comment and the WG last call will end on
	01.09.2004).

	Thanks,

	Dave

Re: mboned: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-mboned-ipv4-mcast-unusable-01.txt]

Good afternoon Pekka,

I thought about your comments over the holiday break, and here's what I 
came up with:

Operationally, I think there are at least three places where access control 
lists should (by best practice) be installed: in the hosts/customer 
routers, at the edge of the AS (for PIM), and between ASes (for 
MSDP).  Using the "belt and suspenders" paranoid approach, I would suggest 
that the elements in each of these three access controls would be cumulative.

In other words:

The lines in Section 6 that refer to Section 7 should be installed on hosts 
(probably Ethernet kernel drivers) and on host-facing routers.

The lines in Section 6 that refer to Sections 7 and 8 should be installed 
on PIM routers that face other administrative domains.

The lines in Section 6 that refer to Sections 7, 8, and 9 should be 
installed on MSDP-speaking routers that peer with other administrative domains.

At first glance, I don't think this document is the place to include the 
above explanation; instead, I think that's better put in a BCP.

I was working on this document first because it was holding up some other 
RFCs, but expect to go through the IPv4 BCP shortly as well to include 
things like the above.

Does this make sense?  Should I go ahead and make the semi-editorial

mboned: draft-ietf-mboned-ipv4-mcast-unusable-01.txt

	Folks,

	First, sorry if this turns out to be a duplicate (my last
	posting seems to have disappeared). In any event, I had
	scheduled the WG last call on this document to end on
	01.09.2004. However, there was one set of comments from
	Pekka regarding, among other things, the structure of the
	document (see http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/mboned/msg02187.html).
	What I'm looking for is some discussion on where we want
	to go with this one. We do have one draft that is hung on
	a normative reference to this (draft-ietf-mboned-msdp-deploy-04.txt), 
	so I would like to resolve this one.

	Comments to the list please.

	Thanks,

	Dave

While MSDP MIB and rfc3171 are IPv4 only, i think the IMDOC effort
must of course also include IPv6, but given that rfc1112 does only
address IPv4, it would be good to add something like "for both IPv4
and IPv6" to the end of the roadmap RFC goal statement.

Right, eg: the two new work items MSDP MIB and rfc3171 nly
apply to IPv4 and the proposed WG work item text is ok and non-confusing.

Well, _i_ was assuming that IMDOC is to cover both IPv4 and IPv6. If

                Scott helped me craft this goal/milestone

I'd suggest calling it out - assumptions of v6-ness are often wrong :-)

- Develop a roadmap informational RFC that describes the current
  IPv4 and IPv6 IETF multicast architectures, including
  references to the relevent IETF documents and guidance for
  implementers and network operators. 

that looks good to me
