Re: [Idr] Early Code Point allocation for draft-ietf-idr-eag-distribution-05 (12/8 to 12/22)

Hi John,

I am not an author either, but I would like to confirm the registry that you point to - "Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) Parameters -- BGP-LS Node Descriptor, Link Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute TLVs"

I would the authors to please update the draft to clarify this.

Thanks,
Ketan

John –

I don’t own this draft. ☺
I was just interested in following up on this as we have  implementations.

Please nag the authors.

Hi Les,

I was just reviewing the draft prior to sending the allocation request in. Right now the IANA section reads

   IANA maintains the registry for the TLVs.  BGP Extended Admin Group
   link attribute TLV will require one new type code defined in this
   document.

This is not very clear direction for IANA. Can you update the IANA section? See RFC 8126, "Guidelines for Writing an IANA Considerations Section in RFCs". Section 1.3 has a short-form cheatsheet, you can skip down to the "If you are registering into an existing registry" part. I presume you want the "Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) Parameters -- BGP-LS Node Descriptor, Link Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute TLVs" registry. I presume the rest is what's in your Table 1.

Probably the cleanest way to move forward is for you to simply update the draft, although you can also reply to this email with the info.

Thanks,

--John

Sue –

Has early allocation been completed?
I don’t see any code point assigned in the BGP-LS registry (apologies if I missed it).

Thanx.

WG:

We’ve received 7 positive comments for early allocation of the draft-ietf-idr-eag-distribution-05.txt work.  There were no problems pointed to with the draft-ietf-idr-eag-distribution-05.txt specification.   The WG chairs usually like a few more positive comments, but the December time period (12/8 to 12/22) may have reduced the number of comments.  We received no substantial number of comments after the first week.

Cisco has completed an implementation and is looking for an interoperability test prior to shipping code. The work has implementations that need the early allocation, a stable specification, and these positive comments on the list.  I’ve received several comments requesting the processing of this call.  Based on the WG continued request to get implementations early allocation of code points, I’m going to declare WG consensus on allocating these code points.  I will forward this early allocation request to Alvaro Retana for processing.

I think this points to the fact that we should go to single week early allocation request.   The drafts either succeed or fail on the first week’s work.

WG Co-chair

PS - I think this points to the fact that we should go to single week early allocation request.   The drafts either succeed or fail on the first week’s work.   John and I are always looking for feedback to determine if we are following the wishes of the IDR WG in getting this early allocations.
