Re: [Dots] (draft-ietf-dots-signal-filter-control) ACL Stats issue

Hi Med, all,

Regarding with the issue, I'm not convinced of the benefit to return the activated ACL statistics over signal-channel.

The idea of this draft is based on this situation (quoted from Jon's comment):
(It is) very unreliable when the inbound pipe is running full.  If the pipe is not running full, then this information can be obtained over the data channel.

ACL stats can be get over the data-channel. I don't see any reason to reproduce the same function.

Further more, I don't think the DOTS server should notify that DOTS client with the change by including the corresponding acl-* parameters in an asynchronous notification.
The basic behavior is already written in the draft:
    This specification does not require any modification to the efficacy
    update and the withdrawal procedures defined in
    [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel].  In particular, ACL-related clauses
    are not included in a PUT request used to send an efficacy update and
    DELETE requests.

If so, the server need not to store any resource about acl-* per mitigation request, which make the function of the signal-filter-control simple enough.

thanks,
Kaname
