Re: [dhcwg] Call for Adoption - draft-bvtm-dhc-mac-assign - Respond by April 16, 2019

[Tim Chown <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

I asked a question related to this at the mic at the meeting, but it's not clear (at least yet) whether the mechanism is designed for host bootstrapping, or for a connected host to request a pool of MAC addresses (which I understand to be a starting address and number of sequential addresses that can be used beyond that) for its own use, e.g., internal VMs.  I had the feeling from the discussion that it was the latter case, but I would support exploring the first case too after adoption.

Perhaps the chairs have some further comment on that.

I understand that the IEEE 802 might work on a protocol to dynamically assign a MAC address, but I think it is important to get both an IP address and a MAC address in one round trip.  That needs to be done in the IETF.

I support adoption.

Hi,

I support adoption. I understand the IEEE is supportive, and that there is no other alternative being proposed in that community.

I agree we should keep the "quadrant" draft separate.

Hi:

As discussed at the DHC WG session at IETF-104, we are trying another call … this starts the WG Call for Adoption for the draft-bvtm-dhc-mac-assign-02 document. Please respond by end of day April 16, 2019 whether you support adoption of this work or not.

This was presented at IETF-104 (see https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/104/materials/slides-104-dhc-link-layer-addresses-assignment-mechanism-for-dhcpv6-refresher-01) and also IETF-101 (seehttps://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/101/materials/slides-101-dhc-mac-addresses-assignment-for-dhcpv6-01) and discussed with our Area Director (Suresh) as acceptable work for the DHC WG to adopt. This work was also presented by Tomek and Bernie to the IEEE P802.1CQ discussions at the OmniRAN meeting in May 2018 – slides available at https://github.com/dhcwg/dhcp-mac/blob/master/ietf-dhc-mac-assign.pdf, as the IEEE is exploring allocation protocols.

If you are silent, it is not possible for us to know your support or lack therefore; so please do respond if you feel this work is something the DHC WG should (or should not) work on.

Thanks much!


  *   Tomek & Bernie


PS: We will also start a call on the extension work draft-bernardos-dhc-slap-quadrant<https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bernardos-dhc-slap-quadrant-01.txt> shortly.
