[CCAMP] draft-mahesh-karp-lmp-analysis

[t.petch <[e-mail]>]

At IETF89, I recall CCAMP was asked if it would review the KARP analysis
of LMP and four assented, of which I was one.  I would like any
discussion to take place on an ietf.org list for its archiving and
reliable distribution.  I would be interested to hear the views of the
other three.

My first two thoughts are

- Section 1 seems misdirected.  KARP categorises routing protocols and
one such is TCP point-to-point which encompasses BGP, LDP, PCEP and MSDP
but notes in RFC6518, RFC6862 that LDP has an unsecured UDP part which
then seems to be neglected.  LMP does not seem to fit any category being
point-to-point over UDP with mandatory security and indeed seems to be
ignored by KARP.  So I think that this section needs reworking.
- Section 2.5 is a paraphrase of parts of s.7 of RFC4204 which seems to
me less clear and less precise - I think that the original text should
be used.
