Hi, Can someone help in the following issue..

I have some doubt in the types defined in the RFC2578, and its usage in
RFC3159.

In RFC2578 the type defintion for ExtUTCTime is said not to be imported by
any MIB definition,
but the RFC3159 is using the MIB definition convention to define the frame
work for PIB defintions, and it is importing the ExtUTCTime, as per the
RFC2578 which not to be allowed.

The COPS-PR-SPPI module contained in RFC 3159 is an ASN.1 module which
imports ExtUTCTime in order to define SPPI - but COPS-PR-SPPI is
certainly not a MIB module written to conform to the SMIv2 language as
defined in RFC 2578. So I do not really see a problem here.

I think:

SPPI (RFC3159) is NOT defining a MIB or a PIB but instead
defining a "new language" or an "update to the SMI language".
So that is a quite different thing than defining another
MIB or PIB Module.

Let me explain:

1. ExtUTCTime is defined as part of SMIv2.
2. The SPPI imports ExtUTCTime because the SPPI is an enhanced subset of SMIv2.
3. The module within RFC 3159 which imports ExtUTCTime is the SPPI, which
   begins:

     COPS-PR-SPPI DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN

     IMPORTS    ObjectName, SimpleSyntax, ExtUTCTime, mgmt
                                                FROM SNMPv2-SMI;

4. The SPPI is the rules for writing PIBs, but the SPPI is *not* itself a PIB.
5. RFC 3159 does not contain a MIB.
6. The PIB module within RFC 3159 begins:

     COPS-PR-SPPI-TC   PIB-DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN

     IMPORTS    Unsigned32, MODULE-IDENTITY, TEXTUAL-CONVENTION, pib
                                              FROM COPS-PR-SPPI;

Notice that this is a PIB because it has the "PIB-DEFINITIONS" keyword, but
does not IMPORT ExtUTCTime.

So, RFC 3159 does not violate the rules relating to ExtUTCTime as specified
in RFC 2578.

Keith.

Before putting documents on the IESG agenda I review them first.
I have issued IETF Last Call for the document
   draft-ietf-rap-rsvp-authsession-02.txt
in which Last Call this informational is included (I expect).

So you can consider my comments as IETF Last Call comments

Here are my comments and questions:

1. Section 2 can be removed. These keywords (as far as I can tell)
   are not used in this document. This also means that reference
   to RFC2119 can go away

2. You talk about "districts" in section 3 qand figure 1 (and maybe
   other places). Where is this terminology used? Is it the same as
   "domain"... it seems it is, but I am not sure?? Maybe this
   term (District) is common place in the SIP space...
   In any event, you may want to indicate where it comes from.
   In 1st sentence on page23 you seem to refer to it as domain
   indeed.

3. You sometimes talk about "Session Manager" other times about
   Session Manager Server. I think to understand that the 
   "session manager" runs on the session server. But you may want 
   to make that clearer. For example, 2nd bullet in sect 4 talks
   about "Edge Router, Session Manager, and Policy Server" 
   I see 2 of them in the figure 1, but not the "Session Manager"
   instead I see "Session Manager Server", which I think is what 
   you mean. This happens in a few more places in the doc.

4. You may want to elaborate a bit on how the "pre-established
   trust relationships" get set up or established. It seems to be
   out of scope of the document, but it is kind of important from
   a security point of view is it not?

5. In each of section 4,5,6,7 you talk about "protocol impacts"
   on such protocols as:
    - Resource Reservation protocol
    - Policy Management protocol
    - Session Management protocol
    - Authorization protocol
   In last para on page 4, you make references to (some of) those
   protocols (but not to all). And I wonder if "session control 
   protocol" is same as "session management protocol".
   I think it would be good to:
    - be consistent in terminology 
    - make references to all protocols on page 4.
    - possibly also add example references to those protocols
      when you list them in sect 4,5,6,7.

6. In section 5 you start talking about a "per-transaction basis"
   And that comes back later on too I think.
   You may want to explain (either her or in terminology in 
   section 3) what a transaction is in this context.

7. Section 7.1 all of sudden talks about "Call Flow"
   whereas earlier sections talked about the same concept I 
   think but named it "Message Flows". Better be consistent
   or explain why now it is a "Call Flow"

8. Section 8.
   I have difficulty parsing the 1st sentence. Is that just me?
   I doubt it.

9. If you are going to do another revision, you may want to
   split the references section in Normative and non-normative
   references as per draft-rfc-editor-rfc2223bis-02.txt

Before putting documents on the IESG agenda I review them first.
I have issued IETF Last Call for the document
    draft-ietf-rap-rsvp-authsession-02.txt
I would normally issue Last Call only after I have done the 
review and received responsess from authors. But it seems
that 3GPP wants this doc to become RFC soon (June 7th).
So therefor we do this in paralell

So you can consider my comments as IETF Last Call comments

Here are my comments and questions:

1. The RFC-Editor does not want references in the abstract section
   see draft-rfc-editor-rfc2223bis-02.txt for details
   You can replace [POL-EXT] with (RFC 2750) as a good alternative.

2. Sect. 2, talks about "DiffEdge". May want to explain that term.
   I see that you reference an RFC, yet a few words on that term
   may be good.

3. The way you specify the Policy element in sect 3.2 is
   different from what I have seen before. For example, RFC3181
   does it as follows:

      P-Type: 16 bits
         PREEMPTION_PRI  = 1

         This value is registered with IANA, see Section 7.

   I would strongly suggest to use the same/similar format.
   In fact, RFC3182 does that too
   For the actual value you can either put in a free number
   or you can do something like "TBD-by-IANA"

4. I would then also recommend a similar approach for each of the
   attribute types and their SubTypes. Actually RFC3182 is a very
   good example for that. The idea is that when we have the finalized
   RFC, people can find in the spec itself the numbers that have been
   assigned to each S-Type and SubType within an S-Type.
   And then in teh IANA Considerations section, they can find them
   all nicely listed together.

5. So I would also strongly recommend that in the IANA Considerations
   you make clear all the assigned (or TBD-by-IANA) values.
   I again think that RFC 3182 is a very good example.

6. Of course, you start a new registry, so the IANA COnsiderations
   section also needs to have a write-up as to how values within
   the new name space get assigned. In other words, I think your
   IANA COnsiderations section can be much much clearer than it
   currently is.

7. Section 3.3 (and others as well)
   Talks about "padding bytes". You may want to specify that they
   "MUST have a value of zero". Whatever you choose, it is important
   to be specific, otherwise running a digest (or creating a signature)
   for these objects is gonna be problematic.

8. Section 3.3.2 (and other places, but this one in particular)
   You talk about "plain ASCII" and "plain UNICODE". You may want
   to add a reference or be more specific as to what you mean.
   For example, is plain ASCII to mean 7-bit US ASCII?
   In other places (like in 3.3.1) you reference an RFC. Maybe
   in that RFC (which I have not yet checked) it becomes clear
   what exactly an "ASCII string" means.
   Sect 3.3.3 does need extra reference on this too.

9. The places where you talk about IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, you
   should specify how they are formatted. Are they 32 and 128
   bit values (respectively) in an OCTET STRING, or are they 
   formated as dotted decimal (IPv4) or separated by colons 
   (IPv6) ???

10. In section 5, I see you talk about "IndetityType", 
    "identity type" and "PE type". Probably this is all the
    same thing... but it is quite confusing. Why not use the
    terminology as defined in RFC 2750 whicj calls it P-Type
    But whichever you choose, I prefer a consistent term, and
    not 3 different onse in one section that supposedly mean
    the same thing. Or am I mistaken here.

11. Last sentence section 6. 
    Should "will include" be replaced by "MUST include" ??

12. I suspect that the Security Considerations section may
    cause trouble with the Security ADs. I would advise to
    be more explicit in pointing out possible risks and
    also strongly recommening (MUST language probably) that
    implementation MUST support the secure mechanisms.
    Maybe it is wise to check with one or both Security ADs.
    Let me know if you want me to help with that.

13. Pls split references section in normative and non-normative
    references as per draft-rfc-editor-rfc2223bis-02.txt

14. I am missing an IPR section as required per RFC2026.

The IESG has received a request from the Resource Allocation Protocol
Working Group to consider Session Authorization for RSVP
<draft-ietf-rap-rsvp-authsession-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard.

The IESG will also consider Framework for session set-up with media
authorization <draft-ietf-rap-session-auth-03.txt> for publication as
an Informational RFC.

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action.  Please send any comments to the
iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by June 3, 2002.
