Subject: [Idr] Adoption Call on DT document
(draft-ietf-idr-bgp-autoconf-considerations-00.txt) [3/10/2021 to 3/31/2021]

 

Greetings: 

 

This is an adoption/feedback call for the DT team document:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-bgp-autoconf-considerations/

 

This call for comments will run for 3 weeks. 

 

In your feedback please let us know: 

 

1) do you think this represents a good set of requirements for bgp autoconf
protocol in the data center? 

[WAJ] Yes, I think it analyses clearly the process and necessary stages of
bgp autoconf.

 

2) Do you think the document should remove any requirements or add an
requirements?  

[WAJ] The consideration for device role should be removed. The reasons are
the followings:

1） There is no standard definition of the device role.

2） BGP works in peer to peer model. 

3） BGP within the datacenter is mainly used for the underlay network
connection. If there is no IGP, every device within the DC should be
connected via BGP.

 

[WAJ] Should consider adding the “Passive Interface” concept on the
devices, to filter the sending of BGP autoconf packet to the customer facing
interfaces.

[WAJ] Should consider the definition of IP address space and AS number
space, from which each device can get its own assignment automatically
without conflict. 

 

3) Do you think the review of the protocols should be moved to another
document? 

[WAJ] Leave them in the current Appendix part can help the user to have a
quick review of the current approaches in different layers.

 

4) Should a IDR DT create the requirements for non-Data Center deployments
prior to starting work on a BGP auto-configuration protocol? If so, should a
DT start these requirements in parallel? 

[WAJ] It seems the necessary for the non-Data center deployment is not
emergent.
