Re: [Bier] Call For Adoption: draft-zhang-bier-bierin6

Hi Zhe, 

Just response to your comments about fragmentation. 

If you read the BIERin6 draft more carefully, you may find that the fragmentation description is in section 1.2 and not in section 2. 

The first option is treat the IPv6 fragmentation packet as BIER payload, the BFR needs not to do the assembling work. 

Only BFIR and BFER needs to do the fragmentation and assembling work. This function is mature and practicable. 

The second option provides a novel way for fragmentation, not only for BIER. 

The working group draft takes time to be mature, the GTF function as well. 

Thanks,

Sandy

I agree with mike and oppose the adoption of this draft.

For example, this document proposes 2 options for the fragmentation in BIERin6 in section 2.

One is using an IPv6 header before BIER header, but this will enforce every BFR to assembly and re-fragment a packet.

The other is to use a Fragment header after BIER header to avoid intermediate BFR to do the assembly and re-fragment,

however I don’t think it is a mature and accepted solution to support this draft to be adopted.

Thank you.

Oppose.

We are unfortunately no where near consensus on this topic including this draft. We’ll likely see that during this adoption call.

Adrian’s suggestion for consensus remains the best I’ve heard: simultaneously call to adopt both solutions as experimental.
