Re: [dhcwg] I-D Action: draft-ietf-dhc-relay-id-suboption-08.txt

["Bernie Volz (volz)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi ... I've decided to add the DHC WG as this is a document being worked
on there.

Personally, I'd switch section 3.1 and 3.2 (bulk LQ is a much stronger
argument for this). 

And, I doubt the IESG will be happy with this document and leaving the
actual identifier as completely opaque!  How would this identifying data
be assured to be unique if it is just defined as a 'series of octets'?

I also fail to see why the DUID isn't being recommended as the standard
format for this relay identifier? See RFC 5460 section 5.4,
OPTION_RELAY_ID.

And, thus do we really need a type field in the option? Isn't just a
DUID sufficient?

I'd also say that for "compatibility" with DHCPv6, using the DUID as the
relay identifier too would be really convenient and appropriate. This
also means section 6 can probably be significantly scaled back - the
only issue is the unicast RENEW.

Bernie,

      Mark told me that you had reviewed this draft and had provided
valuable inputs.

      We have made quiet a few changes from the last revision. Can you
please review this new revision and send any comments to DHC mailing
list?

      We need this draft for our 'DHCPv4 Bulk lease query' draft.

Thanks in advance,
Bharat

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration
Working Group of the IETF.

        Title           : The DHCPv4 Relay Agent Identifier Suboption
        Author(s)       : Bharat Joshi
                          Mark Stapp
        Filename        : draft-ietf-dhc-relay-id-suboption-08.txt
        Pages           : 8
        Date            : 2011-06-04

   This draft defines a new Relay Agent Identifier suboption for the
   Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol's (DHCP) Relay Agent
Information
   option.  The suboption carries a value that uniquely identifies the
   relay agent device within the administrative domain.  The value is
   typically administratively-configured in the relay agent.  The
   suboption allows a DHCP relay agent to include the identifier in the
   DHCP messages it sends.
