IETF working group chairs;

We are developing an open-source tool for monitoring the status and
progress of conflicts in on-line working groups (WG).  The tool works by
analyzing the WG mailing list.  When developed, this tool should be
helpful to WG chairs trying to understand the status of WG discussions
(how close to consensus is the WG, what is the distribution of
participation, etc).

As part of the development process we have been using a prototype tool
to analyze IETF WG mailing list archives to determine the amount of
conflict and how effective this conflict is being (has been) resolved.
As the first step, we need to understand the relationship between the
conflicts in a working group and the structure of the communication
network in that group. While having conflicts is not necessarily a bad
thing for a working group effort, some conflicts can escalate into
disasters. We are interested in finding the communication patterns
related to the evolution of group conflicts. Results from this study
will provide the base for the development of the tool that helps working
group chairs to decide when to intervene with an internal conflict
before it becomes irreversibly negative as well as being a tool that may
help determine where there is consensus on a particular topic.

We would like your help in understanding the level of conflicts within
your working groups and how the conflicts affect productivity and group
members=E2=80=99 perception on the working group. It will be greatly apprec=
iated
if you could ask your WG members to anonymously fill a short survey at

Acee

I am confused.

Can we only answer about OSPF or can we choose which group?  Only OSPF has been
singularly dispute free and not worth answering about, whereas I can think of
major and obstructive conflict in at least three WG in the past 12 months which
would be far better to talk about.

Hi Tom,

You can definitely answer with respect to another WG as this was an IETF wi=
de query.

Note that OSPF has not been immune to conflict as we were not able to agree=
 on a single mechanism to reduce flooding in MANET networks.=20

Also, we could probably benefit from some more conflict on the base specifi=
cations and extensions. While it doesn't seem the router vendors have any p=
roblems with interoperable implementations, it seems the test tool vendors =
have many times misinterpreted the specifications and released invalid test=
s. It would be beneficial if the test tool vendors would review the specifi=
cations during the standardization process.  =20

Thanks,
Acee

Hi all, 

  In the Router-LSA, can replace the Virtual link into the Point-to-point 
link, and obsolete the virtual link?
 
  In RFC4577 OSPF as the Provider/Customer Edge Protocol for BGP/MPLS IP 
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
  The sham link is an unnumbered point-to-point intra-area link and is 
advertised as a type 1 link in a type 1 LSA.
 
  So can I interpret it this way, the virtual link is an numbered 
point-to-point link and is advertised as a type 1 link in a type 1 LSA.

  I just want to know a separate type 4 link(Virtual link) in Router-LSA 
for virtual-link, what's for special applications?

  Thanks.

HI Huang,
The virtual link and sham link are for different purposes. The virtual link=
 allows one to use a transit area for backbone traffic. All the routers in =
the transit area must be able to route backbone traffic. Conversely, the  s=
ham link is between two PEs in the same MPLS IP VPN and the traffic between=
 uses an MPLS LSP. None of the P routers, need to be able to route this tra=
ffic. There are other differences as well but most are consequences of the =
different purposes virtual links and sham links serve.

Hope this helps,
Acee

OSPF Traffic Engineering (TE) extensions are used to advertise TE
Link State Advertisements (LSAs) containing information about TE-enabled
links.  The only addresses belonging to a router that are
advertised in TE LSAs are the local addresses corresponding to TE-enabled
links, and the local address corresponding to the Router ID.

In order to allow other routers in a network to compute Multiprotocol
Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineered Label Switched Paths (TE
LSPs) to a given router's local addresses, those addresses must also
be advertised by OSPF TE.

This document describes procedures that enhance OSPF TE to advertise
a router's local addresses.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

This document is a product of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF.

RFC 5340                     OSPF for IPv6                     July 2008


      router type bits (bits Nt, V, E, and B) should always be taken
      from the router-LSA with the smallest Link State ID.

   o  Step 2a is not needed in IPv6, as there are no longer stub network
      links in router-LSAs.

   o  In Step 2b, if W is a router and the router-LSA V6-bit or R-bit is
      not set in the LSA options, the transit link W is ignored and V's
      next link is examined.

   o  In Step 2, when a router Vertex V other than the root (which is
      the router doing the calculation) has just been added to the
      shortest-path tree and the router-LSA R-bit is not set in the
      LSA options, Vertex V's links are ignored and the next vertex on
      the candidate list should be examined as described in Step 3.

RFC 5340                     OSPF for IPv6                     July 2008


   o  Also In Step 2, when a router Vertex V has just been added to the
      shortest-path tree, there may be multiple LSAs associated with the
      router.  All router-LSAs with the Advertising Router set to V's
      OSPF Router ID MUST be processed as an aggregate, treating them as

      router type bits (bits Nt, V, E, and B) should always be taken

   o  Step 2a is not needed in IPv6, as there are no longer stub network
      links in router-LSAs.

   o  In Step 2b, if W is a router and the router-LSA V6-bit is not set
      in the LSA options, the transit link to W is ignored and V's next
      link is examined.


Notes
-----
This change corrects errata 2046 described below: 

This change reflects the fact that the R-bit and the V6-bit should not be    handled identically. The R-bit allows the router to participate in the IPv6 unicast topology but does not allow transit traffic. The V6-bit doesn't allow either. This problem was pointed out by Balaji Ganesh.

Michael Barnes brought up the fact that the R-Bit should be ignored in the Router-LSA for the calculating router. This errata fixes this omission in the first paragraph of the corrected text.

This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please

If you read down, you'll see this is in response to Michael Barnes' comment=
 that the R-Bit should be ignored in your own Router-LSA. Hopefully, this i=
s the last in this area.

     router type bits (bits Nt, V, E, and B) should always be taken
     from the router-LSA with the smallest Link State ID.

  o  Step 2a is not needed in IPv6, as there are no longer stub network
     links in router-LSAs.

  o  In Step 2b, if W is a router and the router-LSA V6-bit or R-bit is
     not set in the LSA options, the transit link W is ignored and V's
     next link is examined.

  o  In Step 2, when a router Vertex V other than the root (which is
     the router doing the calculation) has just been added to the
     shortest-path tree and the router-LSA R-bit is not set in the
     LSA options, Vertex V's links are ignored and the next vertex on
     the candidate list should be examined as described in Step 3.

     link is examined.


Notes
-----
This change corrects errata 2046 described below:

This change reflects the fact that the R-bit and the V6-bit should not be  =
  handled identically. The R-bit allows the router to participate in the IP=
v6 unicast topology but does not allow transit traffic. The V6-bit doesn't =
allow either. This problem was pointed out by Balaji Ganesh.

Michael Barnes brought up the fact that the R-Bit should be ignored in the =
Router-LSA for the calculating router. This errata fixes this omission in t=
he first paragraph of the corrected text.

Instructions:

This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.

This document describes extensions to OSPF to support mobile ad hoc
networks (MANETs).  The extensions, called OSPF-OR (OSPF-Overlapping 
Relay), include mechanisms for link-local signaling (LLS), an OSPF-MANET 
interface, a simple technique to reduce the size of Hello packets by only 
transmitting incremental state changes, and a method for optimized 
flooding of routing updates.  OSPF-OR also provides a means to reduce 
unnecessary adjacencies to support larger MANETs.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

Original Text
-------------
   IANA has assigned the Node Attribute TLV (value 5) type from the
   range 3-32767 as specified in [RFC3630], from the top level types in
|  TE LSAs registry maintained by IANA at http://www.iana.org.

   IANA has created and now maintains the registry for the sub-TLVs of

   [...]

      o  Types in the range 32778-65535 are not to be assigned at this
         time.  Before any assignments can be made in this range, there
         MUST be a Standards Track RFC that specifies IANA

Hi Alfred,

We don't determine which references should be included as normative or
informative.  We might make suggestions about this if someting seems
odd to us, but whether references appear as normative or inforamtive
is usually decided at the working group level (I believe).  You may
want to discuss this with the authors and working group chairs, as we
are unable to provide you with any additional information about why
RFC 3630 was a normative reference while RFC 5329 was listed as an
informative reference.

Thanks,
Sandy

My take is that RFC 5329 should have stated that it updates RFC 3630. RFC 5=
728 is not dependent on RFC 5329.=20

As for the errata, I don't disagree that the suggested changes improve the =
text. However, given I don't see them as warranting an errata. Afterall, we=
 in the IETF are an international organization and I don't see the benefit =
of wordsmithing the English here. Comments such as these should be made bef=
ore the RFC is published.

Thanks,
Acee =20

|
|The definition of the "Updates" metadata relation in the RFC=20
|Editor's "Instructions to RFC Authors" (instructions2authors.txt) is:
|
||      Updates
||
||         Specifies an earlier document whose contents are modified or
||         augmented by the new document.  The new document cannot be

||         earlier document.
|
|RFC 5786 applies to the OSPFv3 TE Extensions as well and as=20

|RFC 5329 to RFC 5786 as well.  I do not understand how you can=20
|implement RFC 5786 for OSPFv3 without reading/implementing RFC=20
|5329 as well.
|So doesn't RFC 5786 "augment" RFC 5329 as well?
|Where's the difference to the dependency on RFC 3630 for OSFPv2 ?

RFC 5786 actually "updates" RFC 3630 with a new top level TE TLV. RFC 5329 =
is listed a reference for those reading/implementing RFC 5786. I don't thin=
k it is mandatory that it update RFC 5329 and certainly am not going to spe=
nd any more time on this now that the RFC is published (at least not mine :=
^).=20

|
|Sometimes there are 'political' issues or hidden reasons (that=20
|better should have been explained in the memo) to not provide=20

No politics here - just the editorial discretion of the authors. =20

|Acee,
|which percentage of RFCs do _you_ read before publication as well?

100% of those for which I intend to provide editorial comments.=20

Please take a look at=20

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-ospf-af-alt-10.txt =20

Since it is on the RFC Editor queue.=20

|
|I read, comment, and cross-annotate them on paper after=20
|publication (and file Errata if appropriate), and I read and=20
|comment many (sometimes long) before publication.
|"RFC" still expands to "Request for Comment", and the RFC=20
|Errata process serves to channelize many of these comments for=20
|the benefit of other readers and users of the material for=20
|derived work.
|
|The definition of Editorial Errata at
|   <http://www.RFC-Editor.ORG/status_type_desc.html>
|(or see  <http://www.RFC-Editor.ORG/how_to_report.html>  as well)
|is:
|     "a spelling, grammar, punctuation, or syntax error that
|      does not affect the technical meaning"
|
|Given the recent discussions on IANA terms "assigned",=20
|"allocated", "reserved", and "available for assignment" in=20
|various instances, the use of "reserved" in place of=20
|"assigned", which is the core issue addressed by Errata ID=20
|2085, arguably would even have deserved a Technical Errata=20
|Note.  This does not seem to be a question of "wordsmithing"=20
|or style; it's precision in terminology.
|The other details addressed in the Errata Note "en passant"=20
|are related to "grammar" / "syntax" of the language and hence=20
|the proper subject of an Editorial Erratum, per the above=20
|definition.  Since all details are contained in close nearby=20
|text, I have saved errata IDs and mails and efforts in=20
|consolidating all into a single Errata Note.

As I stated before, I don't disagree that your suggestions improve the text=
 or that "assigned" is more appropriate than "reserved". It is unfortunate =
that there is not a classification of errata to categorize those which are =
substantive and those that are purely editorial. Again, I'm not going to sp=
end any more time debating this.=20

Thanks,

Bringing this up to the WG list to get the feedback. The discussion is 
about the usage of the BGP extended communities as defined for OSPFv2 
versus the definition of the new one in the context of the OSPFv3 PE-CE.


- draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospfv3-pece-05 defines a new OSPFv3 Route Extended 
Communities Attribute, which carries the exact same information as the 
original OSPF ext. communities defined in RFC4577.

- given that most vendors that will implement 
draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospfv3-pece-05 have already implemented RFC4577, 
reusing the communities defined there would make sense.

- from the operational perspective people are familiar with the original 
OSPF communities from the VPNv4 deployments, so they would appreciate 
the familiarity with those.

- in the last WG meeting an argument has been used that the route-types 
encoding in 4.4 of draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospfv3-pece-05 does not match the 
one defined for OSPFv2 in 4.2.6. of RFC4577. The Route Type filed in 
OSPF Route Type Extended Communities Attribute as defined in RFC4577 has 
enough space to use the encoding as defined in 
draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospfv3-pece-05 and there would be no collision. An 
alternative is to use the route-types as defined for OSPFv2 
(intra/inter/external/nssa) that match OSPFv3 route-types anyway - there 
is no need to carry the LSA type in this context.

- draft-ietf-l3vpn-ospfv3-pece-05 uses the IPv6 Address Specific BGP 
Extended Community Attribute (RFC5701) that was defined specifically to 
carry the IPv6 address. Not sure if it's usage as a placeholder for 
opaque data was the intention of RFC570 as such.

- other protocols are reusing the originally defined communities in IPv6 
VPN context.
