Following on from the Q&As and hallway chats at IETF102, I've captured
a few questions for further discussion on the lists.
For those yet to review the draft, it can be found here:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-patterson-intarea-ipoe-health-04

- BFD Echo: Still requires a full BFD implementation.  Do we continue
to specify BFD Echo specifically, as per TR-146, or do we rather
specify a new "loopback" packet format to perform the same function,
without full BFD.

- Complexity:  Do we need to define all 4 Behaviours?  Would it help
with adoption if we remove the Renew and Rebind behaviours, and focus
on the latter 2 behaviours that are more likely to facilitate session
re-establishment?   (Perhaps combine behaviours 0,1,2 in to a
converged method?  i.e., attempt a single renew, and rebind before
moving to solicit/discover)

- Complexity2: Do we need to define 3 different health check methods?
BFD Echo-style, ARP/ND, and Passive.    I think that BFD Echo-style
and active ARP/ND checks are both worthwhile specify, but dropping
passive checks for simplicity is probably a good idea.

- Engage Vendors: Current behaviour of silently discarding of Renew
messages is seen as a violation of RFC2131.  I agree that vendors
could implement authentication on Renews, with additional complexity
of validating current and pass lease-state.  It doesn't entirely
mitigate the problem, but would expedite client recovery somewhat.

- Engage Broadband Forum:  Discuss the problem and current limitations
with their recommendations in TR-146, perhaps help drive a Broadband
Forum equivalent of a -bis.
I think engaging BBF is a good thing to happen anyway, but there are
additional features of this draft, such as configurability and
signalling of parameters via the DHCP option, and alternative
behaviours.
Do people think that these additional features warrant progressing
this draft or something similar within the IETF, or should focus be
shifted to working with the BBF on simply amending their TR-146?
