Re: [Idr] Éric Vyncke's Discuss on draft-ietf-idr-rfc5575bis-23: (with DISCUSS and COMMENT)

Eric:

We have a rule in IDR to not submit this for publication until we have 2 implementations.   
We do not have 2 vendors who will indicate the v6 support is deployed.  

The original document (RFC5575) did not have v6, and the IESG asked the IDR group to work on the v6 draft. 
The same authors have a v6 version of text in WG LC.   We've call for implementation reports and receive none on the v6. 

If you would like to help us find v6 with Flow-specification deployments, we would be happy to forward the v6 version to the IESG. 
Our long term game-plan was one document with v4 and v6 support.

Thank you for the work put into this document. The document is clear, easy to read (I appreciated the given examples).

Alas, due to overload of work, I had only a quick browse through the document with specific focus points and found nothing EXCEPT why having two different documents ? One for IPv4 (with the core elements of the protocol) and one for
IPv6 (with only the IPv6 specifics)... I am more than surprized to say the least... hence my DISCUSS...

This blocking DISCUSS can easily be fixed: e.g., with a RFC Editor note to make a cluster of this document and draft-ietf-idr-flow-spec-v6 so that they are published together with adjacent RFC numbers. Merging the two documents would be preferred but I understand that this is more work (albeit a missed opportunity).

Please find below a couple on non-blocking COMMENTs.

I hope that this helps to improve the document,

Regards,

I also second Erik K.'s comment on non-TCP/UDP ports.
