[Detnet] Alvaro Retana's Yes on draft-ietf-detnet-problem-statement-07: (with COMMENT)

["Pascal Thubert (pthubert)" <[e-mail]>]

Hello Alvaro :

I was digging the datatracker and found the following comment from you:
"
Given the close relationship between this document and draft-ietf-detnet-use-cases, I think that it would have been beneficial to produce a single document.  As it stands neither one normatively references the other.

draft-ietf-detnet-architecture-09 says it better:

   The Deterministic Networking Problem Statement
   [I-D.ietf-detnet-problem-statement] introduces Deterministic
   Networking, and Deterministic Networking Use Cases
   [I-D.ietf-detnet-use-cases] summarizes the need for it.
I'm sorry I cannot remember seeing this comment before, and I could not dig it in my mail client, so I do not know what happened with it.

As it goes, the problem statement precedes the architecture document and cannot really reference it normatively.
On the other hand the problem statement is a consequence of the use case draft so it is heavily based on it.

Still there is a forward note that references it, so we do have a reference.
                 Forward note: The DetNet Architecture
   [I-D.ietf-detnet-architecture] is the document produced by the DetNet
   WG to describe that model.


But in general when we mention a DetNet architecture we present it as an abstract architecture to be defined as opposed to work already done, so we abstained to have a reference to the architecture draft.

More than that seems artificial and I'm tempted to leave things as is. If you think it is important then I'm OK add a sentence or modify the one quoted above in the next editions.

Please let us know if that's OK?

Pascal
