I believe that this mailing list is pretty much dead as well as the
associated effort to get a codepoint reserved for vendors to share a
legitimate TCP option number across the various middlebox discovery
mechanisms.

Since this list was setup by the IETF TSV ADs in order to facilitate
discussion and help to resolve the issue, seeing no discussion or
progress, Martin and I are ready to close the list.

I plan to request the IESG Secretary to close this list sometime
next week.  If there are still people interested in progressing some
flavor of the specification we all were working on, please contact
Martin or myself for possible AD-sponsoring.

Hi, Wes,
     After I left Cisco, I am no longer able to work on this any further
(sorry I should have finished it before thart...).  However I believe Mani
from Cisco (already in the list)  may be interested get the review comments
incorporated and push this forward. IMO, this draft is ready for
publication and getting a TCP option number reserved for middlebox
discovery.
thanks,
-Anantha

Hi Wes,
                As Anantha says,  I would like to continue on this effort.

I will target the completion of the revised draft by end of next week.


Thanks,

I was AD when this effort was started, and it's been a while. I fully agree=

If there is anything I can do to help progress this, I'd be happy to.

In principle this is still an important area to get right.  Unfortunately t=
here are currently dueling patent lawsuits between my company and a competi=
tor, where one of the patents in the dispute is potentially relevant to thi=
s technical issue. =20

Until that dispute ends (currently scheduled for trial this September) I am=
 unlikely to be able to contribute in any forum unrelated to the suits.

So this would mean that an IPR disclosure about the draft is due, isn't it?

No, I didn't participate in the development of the current draft because of=

Abstract:
  This document describes a TCP option for use by middleboxes to
  facilitate transparent detection of other middleboxes along the path
  of the TCP connection during the connection initiation phase.  The
  option has no effect if an appropriate middlebox is not present on
  the path.

 I did work with Mani and reviewed this already.  IMO this addresses all
the review comments received so far and it is all set to go to the next
stages.  Thanks for taking the lead, Mani.

    Looks good to me, except I would suggest adding a note at the end of 
section 5 saying that if for some reason more space is needed, a 
"extension" vendor code can be allocated (leaving exactly how it would 
work TBD).

   Also, I think its worth allowing vendor codes to be allocated for 
inter-vendor formats. This would allow such to be developed in fewer 
years than this draft has taken.

    Thanks Mani!

   Looks good to me, except I would suggest adding a note at the end of sec=
tion 5 saying that if for some reason more space is needed, a "extension" v=
endor code can be allocated (leaving exactly how it would work TBD).

MANI - Sure, will add.


  Also, I think its worth allowing vendor codes to be allocated for inter-v=
endor formats. This would allow such to be developed in fewer years than th=
is draft has taken.

MANI - Just to make sure I understand - are you suggesting to allow codes t=
o be defined so a subset of vendors can interoperate? For example, id 5 to =
allow vendor A and B to interoperate, id 6 for vendor B and vendor to inter=
operate? Or one standard code for all interoperating vendors?

Mani.


   Thanks Mani!

    I now see this in the draft; did I miss it before?


1) Standard code: Standard code can be used in a such way that
      multiple vendors recognize the same and are interoperable for
      negotiation purposes

   2) Extended vendor id: Should the unassigned space run out in the
      future, either the reserved space can be opened up for assignment,
      or a speical id can be added to extend the vendor id space to more
      than one byte (say by including OUI after the 1 byte vendor id)

   Looks good to me, except the special misspelling.  I'm not sure we need =
the OUI reference though --they're bigger then enterprise numbers.  For ins=
tance, if some reserved codes were each used to make 256 more (with one mor=
e byte), I think we'd be fine for a long time.  I'd just as soon we leave t=
he question open (and leave out the parenthesized phrase).

MANI =96 Sure, will add.

A few small nits:=0A=
=0A=
* In section 3, the use of MUST for requirements appears incorrect to me.  =
I believe the capitalized terms are only supposed to be used for the actual=
 specification of the standard that implementations need to follow; I'd vie=
w the underlying requirements are informational.=0A=
=0A=
If you agree with that, here is suggested rewording to avoid the standard t=
erms.  (Changes in []).=0A=
=0A=
   1) The TCP-MNO [needs to] be variable length to accommodate multiple ven=
dor=0A=
      option formats.=0A=
=0A=
   2) The TCP-MNO [needs to] have a vendor ID which can identify the specif=
ic=0A=
      vendor as implied by 1)=0A=
=0A=
   3) The TCP option space limitation puts a burden on how flexible the=0A=
      option can be.  Please refer section 6 below.=0A=
=0A=
   4) TCP option numbers already in use by proprietary systems [should=0A=
      not] be reused for TCP-MNO since it would create confusion.  (These=
=0A=
      option numbers would get eventually retired when all vendors=0A=
      migrate to the newly allocated TCP-MNO option)=0A=
=0A=
In the last item, I'd like to slightly modify the content as we'd definitel=
y envision cases where end hosts want to discover middle boxes:=0A=
=0A=
   5) The TCP-MNO [is intended for use by] for middleboxes only.  [End host=
s which are not participating in middlebox negotiation] are=0A=
      expected to silently ignore this option.=0A=
=0A=
* In section 5, there appear to be some formatting issue with the spaces in=
 the diagram.  The bars separating the bytes should appear at [1,8] and [2,=
6].=0A=
=0A=
*  On Andrew's point below, I think it is fine to leave in the reference to=
 OUI.  It is just an example and it is the original idea that we had.  At s=
ome point, someone needs to solve the problem with option space and when th=
ey do that might be feasible again.=0A=
=0A=
Otherwise, it looks great to me!=0A=

Hi Jamshid,
      I used the RFC 2119 language in this draft since we are trying to
define a middlebox option whose requirements are generic in nature with the
use case of middle box discovery. I also assume it is ok to use RFC 2119
language for experimental specifications (which this draft is targetted
towards)  I would like to hear from the AD's on this usage.
thanks,
-Anantha

I'm happy with whatever advice the ADs give for these clauses.

My thinking was that the usage in section 4 is correct, but in section 3 we=
 aren't really specifying things that implementers have control over (e.g. =
MUST be variable length) -- those are things that we as the authors have co=
ntrol over and once this is published the correct verb would be "IS variabl=
e length".

Hi Jamshid,
      I used the RFC 2119 language in this draft since we are trying to def=
ine a middlebox option whose requirements are generic in nature with the us=
e case of middle box discovery. I also assume it is ok to use RFC 2119 lang=
uage for experimental specifications (which this draft is targetted towards=
)  I would like to hear from the AD's on this usage.

A few small nits:

* In section 3, the use of MUST for requirements appears incorrect to me.  =
I believe the capitalized terms are only supposed to be used for the actual=
 specification of the standard that implementations need to follow; I'd vie=
w the underlying requirements are informational.

If you agree with that, here is suggested rewording to avoid the standard t=
erms.  (Changes in []).

   1) The TCP-MNO [needs to] be variable length to accommodate multiple ven=
dor
      option formats.

   2) The TCP-MNO [needs to] have a vendor ID which can identify the specif=
ic
      vendor as implied by 1)

   3) The TCP option space limitation puts a burden on how flexible the
      option can be.  Please refer section 6 below.

   4) TCP option numbers already in use by proprietary systems [should
      not] be reused for TCP-MNO since it would create confusion.  (These
      option numbers would get eventually retired when all vendors
      migrate to the newly allocated TCP-MNO option)

In the last item, I'd like to slightly modify the content as we'd definitel=
y envision cases where end hosts want to discover middle boxes:

   5) The TCP-MNO [is intended for use by] for middleboxes only.  [End host=
s which are not participating in middlebox negotiation] are
      expected to silently ignore this option.

* In section 5, there appear to be some formatting issue with the spaces in=
 the diagram.  The bars separating the bytes should appear at [1,8] and [2,=
6].

*  On Andrew's point below, I think it is fine to leave in the reference to=
 OUI.  It is just an example and it is the original idea that we had.  At s=
ome point, someone needs to solve the problem with option space and when th=
ey do that might be feasible again.

Otherwise, it looks great to me!

    I now see this in the draft; did I miss it before?


1) Standard code: Standard code can be used in a such way that
      multiple vendors recognize the same and are interoperable for
      negotiation purposes

   2) Extended vendor id: Should the unassigned space run out in the
      future, either the reserved space can be opened up for assignment,
      or a speical id can be added to extend the vendor id space to more
      than one byte (say by including OUI after the 1 byte vendor id)

   Looks good to me, except the special misspelling.  I'm not sure we need =
the OUI reference though --they're bigger then enterprise numbers.  For ins=
tance, if some reserved codes were each used to make 256 more (with one mor=
e byte), I think we'd be fine for a long time.  I'd just as soon we leave t=
he question open (and leave out the parenthesized phrase).

   Looks good to me, except I would suggest adding a note at the end of sec=

endor code can be allocated (leaving exactly how it would work TBD).

MANI =96 Sure, will add.


  Also, I think its worth allowing vendor codes to be allocated for inter-v=
endor formats. This would allow such to be developed in fewer years than th=
is draft has taken.

MANI =96 Just to make sure I understand =96 are you suggesting to allow cod=
es to be defined so a subset of vendors can interoperate? For example, id 5=
 to allow vendor A and B to interoperate, id 6 for vendor B and vendor to i=
nteroperate? Or one standard code for all interoperating vendors?

Mani.


   Thanks Mani!

Abstract:
  This document describes a TCP option for use by middleboxes to
  facilitate transparent detection of other middleboxes along the path
  of the TCP connection during the connection initiation phase.  The
  option has no effect if an appropriate middlebox is not present on
  the path.

If folks are generally happy with this revision, I think the
path forward is that Pasi Sarolahti agreed to do a shepherd
review / writeup.  That was back at the Paris IETF, so he
might have changed his mind by then :).

If any of the authors or advocates will be in Orlando at the
next IETF meeting, it would be nice to give TCPM a 5 minute
recap of the current status, just so they know what happened
since it left the WG as a proposal there.  If nobody else
will be there (or nobody wants to do it!), I'd be happy to
briefly explain it's state.

Since it's unclear who will replace me as AD in March, it
might be a good idea to work kind of quick on this, so that
I can get it as far along with the IESG as possible before
March.  I suspect there will be trouble in the IESG on this,
as recent experience with the TCPM experimental options
draft suggests ...

I had made some minor comments on the wording (MUST, SHOULD) which I believ=
e we wanted advice from the AD on so Mani knew whether to accept it.

I also had suggested one very minor change to the content which I hope Mani=
 is ok with accepting.

Let me know if you need that email resent.

Otherwise, very happy!

If folks are generally happy with this revision, I think the path forward i=
s that Pasi Sarolahti agreed to do a shepherd review / writeup.  That was b=
ack at the Paris IETF, so he might have changed his mind by then :).

If any of the authors or advocates will be in Orlando at the next IETF meet=
ing, it would be nice to give TCPM a 5 minute recap of the current status, =
just so they know what happened since it left the WG as a proposal there.  =
If nobody else will be there (or nobody wants to do it!), I'd be happy to b=
riefly explain it's state.

Since it's unclear who will replace me as AD in March, it might be a good i=
dea to work kind of quick on this, so that I can get it as far along with t=
he IESG as possible before March.  I suspect there will be trouble in the I=
ESG on this, as recent experience with the TCPM experimental options draft =
suggests ...

Regarding the 2119 wording, I (personally) prefer your rewording
of it, since those "requirements" are kind of just the design
principles that were aimed for and (as you note) not protocol
conformance requirements.  However, there are many RFCs that
do use 2119 capitalized words for requirements statements, and
there are mixed opinions about it, even in the IESG ... so, it
would be passable either way.  That said, I suspect it will be
smoother sailing if your suggested rewordings are applied :).
