[Bgp-autoconf] Review of draft-dt-idr-bgp-autoconf-considerations

["Majumdar, Kausik" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Jeff, Warren,

I have gone through the draft, it is a well-written document. I agree with Acee that the doc is ready to be reviewed by the IDR WG. I have also noticed that Acee suggested some editorial changes, with that it looks good. I don't have anything more from the editorial side other than few minor points that I captured below, that might be good to discuss in tomorrow's meeting.

Comments are in >> -

In Section 2.3.2 BGP Auto-Discovery Device Role Requirements
>>Should we define the Code Points for the standard Device Roles and their corresponding functions?

In Section 2.4 Operator Configuration
>>Are we planning to use the BGP Autoconf mechanism for the session validation purposes? If so, how Autoconf would be used to collect the information to validate the sessions. I think we need to describe a little more here.

In Section 5.5    Discovery at Layer Seven
"Rendezvous approaches may appeal to deployments which favor a central control framework.
On the other hand, those who favor distributed protocols will have the classic worries about fragility, redundancy, reliability, etc."

>>Reading through this section it is not clear what specific Layer Seven approach we are recommending here.

I think Security Considerations is well structured in the document and covered well.

Thanks,
Kausik
