We will take care of all the nits that you have pointed out and include the reference to the IEEE/ACM TON paper (the link you have pointed out is indeed correct). However, I had one query. Most of the time research journal/conference papers will be behind a paywall and there may not be a free cached copy available online. How do we get across this problem? Best, --Satya On 12/7/18, 7:20 AM, "Adrian Farrel" <adrian@olddog.co.uk> wrote: Reviewer: Adrian Farrel Review result: Has Nits Hello, I have been selected as the Routing Directorate reviewer for this draft. The Routing Directorate seeks to review all routing or routing-related drafts as they pass through IETF last call and IESG review, and sometimes on special request. The purpose of the review is to provide assistance to the Routing ADs. For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see ?http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir Although these comments are primarily for the use of the Routing ADs, it would be helpful if you could consider them along with any other IETF Last Call comments that you receive, and strive to resolve them through discussion or by updating the draft. Document: draft-ietf-bess-evpn-df-election-framework-06.txt Reviewer: Adrian Farrel Review Date: 2018-12-07 IETF LC End Date: 2018-12-18 Intended Status: Standards Track Summary: This document is basically ready for publication, but has nits that should be considered prior to publication. Comments: This document addresses issues in the default election algorithm used for Designated Forwarder Election in EVPN (RFC 7432 and RFC 8124) by defining a new election algorithm and a capability to influence the election result for a VLAN, depending on the state of the associated Attachment Circuit. This is an exceptionally clear and well written document. The authors and the working group are to be congratulated. During my review I observed a number of small issues and editorial nits. I don't believe any of these is cause for discussion in the working group, but it would be sensible to resolve them before publication. Thanks and Happy Christmas, Adrian -- It's Christmas. Buy someone you love a book of fairy tales. https://www.feedaread.com/profiles/8604/ Available from your favourite online bookseller. Or contact me to receive a signed copy by mail. === Major Issues: No major issues found === Minor Issues: HRW1999 is provided as a normative reference, and from the text I can see why. But no URL (stable or otherwise) is given for the reference. Using my favorite search engine, I looked for and found a copy of the referenced document on the IEEE site behind a paywall. I don't think that will do at all. However, there is a version at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/HRW98.pdf That appears to be dated 1998, but otherwise could be the same paper. [JORGE] ok, we added the link and move it to informative references. Thanks! --- When I read in Section 3... In addition, since the specification in EVPN [RFC7432] does leave several questions open as to the precise final state machine behavior of the DF election, section 3.1 describes precisely the intended behavior. ... I wondered whether this document is updating 7432 in that respect. Other features later in the document (such as section 5) confirm this. [JORGE] it's not the first comment suggesting this. The intend is definitively not to update RFC7432 but to specified new procedures, that was the agreement so far. In other words, this work does not mandate an upgrade of all the systems supporting RFC7432. The RFC7432 are still fine. Maybe we need to rephrase that sentence? --- Notwithstanding the mention of backward compatiblity in section 6, I think it would be a good idea to include a very short section 3.2.1. 3.2.1. Backward Compatibility Legacy implementations (i.e., those that predate this specification) will not advertise the DF Election Extended Community. That means that all other participating PEs will not receive DF preferences and will revert to the defailt algorithm without AC-Influenced DF Election. Similarly, a legacy implementation receiving a DF Election Extended Community will ignore it and will continue to use the default algorithm. [JORGE] Thank you. We took you text slightly modified: ***3.2.1. Backward Compatibility [RFC7432] implementations (i.e., those that predate this specification) will not advertise the DF Election Extended Community. That means that all other participating PEs will not receive DF preferences and will revert to the Default DF Election algorithm without AC-Influenced DF Election. Similarly, a [RFC7432] implementation receiving a DF Election Extended Community will ignore it and will continue to use the Default DF Election algorithm.*** --- On first reading, I missed an important subtlty in 3.2. The paragraph... - Otherwise if even a single advertisement for the type-4 route is not received with the locally configured DF Alg and capability, the default DF Election algorithm (modulus) algorithm MUST be used as in [RFC7432]. ...is really important because it handles what to do if different participating PEs disagree about which algorithm to use. Your text is perfectly fine and adequate, but the "locally configured" sort of hid it from me first time around. Maybe add a sentence to the end of the bullet point to say... "This procedure handles the case where participating PEs disagree about the DF algorithm and capability to apply." [JORGE] added, thanks. --- Section 4 introduces 8124 for the first time. It's good that this is applicable to private wire EVPN as well as 7432 EVPN. Maybe bring this into focus in the Introducion? It does make me wonder whether you are also updating 8124. [JORGE] Added this to the introduction. See my comment above about updating specs. "The procedures described in this document apply to [RFC7432] and [RFC8214] EVPN networks." --- I think section 7 is good. Since you note that the "unfair" situation may be created maliciously, should you note that there is also scope for a downgrade attach where the advertisement from one PE is hidden, the preferred algorithm is modified to any unexpected value, or any unexpected bit in the capabilities bitfield is set? I think such an attack assumes either a subversion of the PE (perhaps via its configuration) or modification of the BGP message. Thus, it is not a probable if adequate existing security mechanisms are used. [JORGE] added this sentence: *** Note that the network will not benefit of the new procedures if the configuration of one of the PEs in the ES is changed to the default [RFC7432] DF Election.*** === Nits: The RFC Editor will require that the first section in the document is the Introduction. [JORGE] changed, thanks. --- You use VNI and I-SID without expansion. [JORGE] expanded in the first occurrence. --- 2.1 s/proposes/defines/ [JORGE] done, thx --- 2.3 s/procedure Generally,/procedure. Generally,/ [JORGE] done, thx --- 3.2 has For the DF election procedures to be consistent and unanimous, it is necessary that all the participating PEs agree on the DF Election algorithm and capabilities to be used. This is exactly the type of statement I was hoping for when I opened the document, so thanks. But... :-) This depends slightly on the definition of "all participating PEs". You don't need all PEs in the EVPN to use the same algorithm, only the PEs that share multi-homing connections. You also use the term in 2.1 and other places in the document, so perhaps I am worrying too much. [JORGE] added "all participating PEs ***in the ES***" --- 4. s/the state of the server states/the server states./ s/on Unix utilities rand and srand/on the Unix utilities rand and srand/ [JORGE] done, thx --- I am not sure why you describe Wrand2 in section 4.2 because you immediately decide to not use it. Maybe you can just describe Wrand and observe that does the job? [JORGE] that's a question for Satya, Satya?? --- 4.2 s/HRW solves the disadvantage/HRW solves the disadvantages/ [JORGE] done, thx
