Ross:

I need to delay this work until August 21 - 26th due to work commitments
for the next 2 weeks.

It is my vacation week - so I know I can complete the review at that
time.

      3.3 Individual Submissions Via RFC Editor

          The IESG will use RFC 3932 responses: 1) The IESG has not
          found any conflict between this document and IETF work; 2)
          The
          IESG thinks that this work is related to IETF work done in WG
          <X>, but this does not prevent publishing; 3) The IESG thinks
          that publication is harmful to work in WG <X> and recommends
          not publishing at this time; 4) The IESG thinks that this
          document violates the IETF procedures for <X> and should
          therefore not be published without IETF review and IESG
          approval; 5) The IESG thinks that this document extends an
          IETF protocol in a way that requires IETF review and should
          therefore not be published without IETF review and IESG
          approval.

          Other matters may be recorded in comments to be passed on
          to the RFC Editor as community review of the document.

      3.3 Individual Submissions Via RFC Editor

          The IESG will use RFC 3932 responses: 1) The IESG has not
          found any conflict between this document and IETF work; 2)
          The
          IESG thinks that this work is related to IETF work done in WG
          <X>, but this does not prevent publishing; 3) The IESG thinks
          that publication is harmful to work in WG <X> and recommends
          not publishing at this time; 4) The IESG thinks that this
          document violates the IETF procedures for <X> and should
          therefore not be published without IETF review and IESG
          approval; 5) The IESG thinks that this document extends an
          IETF protocol in a way that requires IETF review and should
          therefore not be published without IETF review and IESG
          approval.

          Other matters may be recorded in comments to be passed on
          to the RFC Editor as community review of the document.

Hi Dimitri,

Since we recently completed a last call of this document in the OSPF WG
and received no additional comments, I decided to take another look.
I've also reviewed this document at least twice previously but, judging
from section 9, with no "useful" comments ;^).

See some comments on your comments inline.

Actually, the OSPF theoretical limit is much smaller since the new TLV 
can occur at most
once and the length of a single TLV is limited to 2^16 bytes. However, 
all discussions I've
had with the authors indicate that deployments will be limited to a 
small number of mesh
groups (usually 1 and never more than a handful). Is there any reason to 
doubt this?

There are several ways these could have been advertised but now that 
we've gone this
long down this path, I don't think we should change it unless there is a 
very good
reason.

I interpret this to mean that a list of mesh groups is packed in a 
single TLV. I agree
that this should be stated explicitly. To the best of my knowledge, it 
has been this
way from the beginning  (although  it may have started with a single 
mesh group).

I agree that a better term could be used. I'd prefer "LSA origination". 
for OSPF.

I interpreted this as referring to the author's view on how often an LSR 
will be
join or leave a mesh group.

Hi Acee and Dimitri,

Very much appreciate you reviewing this.
We did get a couple of comments from IS-IS so we have something to think 
about.

See in line (suitably snipped)

Oh, is that what the Acknowledgments section is for?

Hmmm.
1. Whenever we say something like that, history proves us wrong.
2. There is a proposal to use mesh groups for P2MP membership discovery.
   Essentially, each P2MP LSP will behave as a mesh group.
   (Hint: I want to kill that idea!)

Yeah, that is my take, too.
I really don't like these relativistic statements when they are not 
quantified.
It would be best to state it relative to the OSPF refresh timer.
For example: "This mechanism SHOULD NOT be used if LSRs join or leave a mesh 
group more frequently than the OSPF refresh timer."

Thoughts?

Oh, one other thing: can we get these comments out into the CCAMP WG?
They can be anonymised through me or Ross, if you like.

hi adrian

sensible imho - comments can be shared 

now i would like to see your opinion on

"> o) the document does introduce a field to facilitate LSP identification 

> (name) as part of the routing extension i am concerned by the 
introduction 
> of a new LSP identification format / mechanism - if no pointer to RFC 
3209 
> is provided;"

per 3209, we have 3 tuples to identify sessions (+ session name in session 
attribute)

per 3209, we have 5 tuples to identify LSPs 

so my interpretation from the text that the "tail-end" field is a TE LSP 
group name
- but is that correct ? -

ps: subsidiary question - is it suitable to exchange LSP names via routing 
? - opinions ?
