Questions from the Authors of draft-gashinsky-v6nd-enhance

[Joel Jaeggli <[e-mail]>]

Greetings,

This is followup from our discussion in both v6ops and 6man. We got a lot of useful input, but I would like to ask the mailing list to see if we can solidify this into a course of action.

For reference:

ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gashinsky-v6nd-enhance-00.txt

http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/81/slides/6man-9.pdf


1. Is this document (draft-gashinsky-v6nd-enhance) worthwhile?

2. Is there critique of the two proposed 4861 changes?

	A. 7.3  NDP Protocol Gratuitous NA

		a. We believe the is the question is whether the technique would 
		be useful under duress, wether it is potentially dangerous,
		if the safeguards are adequate, etc.

	B. 7.4 ND cache priming and refresh

3. Should we separate the potential mitigations (section 6) and implementation advice (section 7.1 and 7.2) into a separate document.

	A. Assumption (validated in v6ops at ietf81) is that v6ops would be happy
	 to take the mitigation and implementation advice as an informational document

	B. Assumption 2 a draft updating 4861 would be a standards track document.

	C. Assumption 3, should harmonize with  draft-nordmark-6man-impatient-nud-00

4. Is there anyone who thinks that an update to 4861 to address dos exposure is unnecessary?

	A. Just publish the advice and be done with it?

Comments on some or all of these questions would help the authors decide where to go next.

Thanks
Joel
