Re: [Idr] WG LC on draft-ietf-idr-rpd-05.txt (7/15 to 7/29/2020)

Dear IDR WG,

As discussed previously on the list I strongly object to proceed with this
draft any further.

While I am as others quite sceptical about distributing more configuration
over BGP this can be said to be debatable especially for p2mp applications.

However including peer's IP address in the NLRI to which given policy
applies goes completely AGAINST BGP spray principle of p2mp
information distribution. Adding such extension to BGP can only deteriorate
the protocol further. It is not a fit in p2mp protocol to by definition use
it as p2p transport channel.

The prefix 0 which is in the draft is not the solution to the above
problem.

Moreover wide community ATOM also can already contain that peer's address
so placing it in the NLRI of MP_REACH is not needed at all.

To the specific questions asked:

Ad 1) No.
Ad 2) No.
Ad 3) No.
Ad 4) No.
Ad 5) Yes.

Kind regards,
R.
