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

["Xiejingrong (Jingrong)" <[e-mail]>]

Hi All,
I support the WG LC of the drafts. My answer to the listed questions:

1) Do you feel this draft has an solution that is acceptable
   With the IPR as a WG RFC?
[Jingrong] Yes

2) Do you feel this draft is ready to publish?
[Jingrong] Yes

3) Do you know of implementations of this draft?
[Jingrong] Yes. There are at least 2 implementations.

4) Do you know of deployments of this draft?
If so, is this feature useful in the deploy ments.
[Jingrong] Yes. There are multiple deployments. It is very useful from the feedback of the operators.

5) Do you feel that Wide Communities is ready for
Publication?
[Jingrong] Yes. It provides a very useful way to steer traffic.
We often see debates if Netconf/PCE or BGP is appropriate on many topics, but to me, each has its own merits.
In fact, we have seen BGP being used and preferred in many interactive-like behaviors like SR-policy, MVPN (RFC6514, RFC7524).
The use of BGP in a controller based solution is my personal preference, and I believe there are many others with the same preference.

Thanks
Jingrong Xie

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

This begins a 2 week WG LC on draft-ietf-idr-rpd
from 7/15 to 7/29/2020.  You can obtain this draft at:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-rpd/

This draft defines a new AFI/SAFI and new atoms
for the Wide Communities.  This WG LC has been delayed
as I waited for a resubmission of the Wide Communities draft.
I had hoped to do these 2 WG LC in parallel.

I've not received the Wide Communities draft, but we will
start this WGLC to provide feedback to the authors.
We may have to run a short follow-up to this WG LC
If there are changes to the Wide Communities draft during
Its WG LC.

There is an IPR statement on this draft.

In your responses please answer the following questions:

1) Do you feel this draft has an solution that is acceptable
   With the IPR as a WG RFC?

2) Do you feel this draft is ready to publish?

3) Do you know of implementations of this draft?

4) Do you know of deployments of this draft?
If so, is this feature useful in the deploy ments.

5) Do you feel that Wide Communities is ready for
Publication?

Cheerily, Susan Hares
