I will defer to Thomas's recommendations. I don't recall the Intel PXE issue because I wasn't actively involved in the DHC WG at that time. - Bernie -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Narten [mailto:narten@us.ibm.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 9:20 AM To: Bernie Volz (EUD) Cc: 'Paul Duffy'; 'Ralph Droms'; dhcwg@ietf.org; nrussell@cisco.com; pgrossma@cisco.com; Matt Osman Subject: Re: [dhcwg] DHCP Option for CableLabs Client Configuration Bernie, > Given that duplicating a lot of work is likely to be rather useless, > what about scaling back the IETF draft to remove much of the text > and just have the draft indicate the option number and that there > are suboptions and to see the CableLabs document for complete > details? > With the current draft, there's too much there to make it look like > an attempt at a more complete specification.

I disagree strongly with the idea that we give Cablelabs (or any outside organization) a blank check to define options that extend DHC without requiring any formal IETF/WG review. This can result in new sub-options being defined that that don't make sense to us (i.e, modify the protocol itself). Ditto on defining sub options that duplicate existing options. The IETF needs to review DHCP options to make sure they make sense and are consistent with DHC. Remember the Intel PXE option? I recall folks not being terribly happy about that. Thomas
