There's some discussion in the draft about what transport layer we use, and a few of the headaches. For BGP auto-discovery, the major implication is how wide your want your messages to travel. I won't argue your issues about the headaches in a given layer. > the key distinction I see here is whether you go along the philosophy of > "only minimum to reliably bring session(s) up" (which is already enough, > BFD, AF mixes, faith sharing and all the stuff IGP does today for BGP are > non trivial to get right) or "kitchen sink incl. replicating capabilities". Do you have to bother the BGP speaker to figure out if you want to talk to them or not? If you do, how do you handle retries. Those questions have to be answered. You can not like a given mechanism all you like, but if you want to provide constructive criticism, describe how to do it better. > after that you still have to deal with semantics of an "offer".

Lifetime is a good point, and one that isn't in the current draft. Section 3.2 mostly talks about how chatty to be, which might hint a bit about implicit lifetime. (E.g. 2-3x the advertising window. BFD makes that explicit for reasons you'll likely get to.) > Obviously, IGPs are much simpler because the lifetime of offer is @ same > time lifetime of the "session" whereas here the TCP session is kind of > "floating" around the offers.

The autoconf considerations draft is intentionally silent on whether the design MUST have some sort of adjacency. Some of the proposals are "shout into the dark" multicast style. draft-xu-idr-neighbor-autodiscovery basically replicates LDP state machinery, including a full adjacency. But it also discusses impacts on the BGP FSM by tying the fate of the BGP session to the auto-discovery session. MTU mis-matches are definitely a topic of interest elsewhere in IETF. My personal opinion is that trying to solve it in auto-discovery is problematic in a few respects. The biggest one is that the discovery protocol may run at a different layer (L2/L3) or different address family than the actual session. Even if we did discover an acceptable MTU, most stacks want to interact with this either through configuring TCP MSS or performing PMTU-D. Whether you want this stuff to get added to your RFC 4271 style BGP session setup is where that leads. -- Jeff
