FRom: Juergen Schoenwaelder <j.schoenwaelder@jacobs-university.de> Sent: 30 July 2020 14:47 To: Nagendra Kumar Nainar (naikumar) Cc: Reshad Rahman (rrahman); tom petch; netmod@ietf.org; Carlos Pignataro (cpignata) Subject: Re: [netmod] rfc6991bis: loopback addresses Thanks for pointing to the definitions in draft-nainar-mpls-lsp-ping-yang. With that, your request is relatively clear now and the question the WG needs to answer is whether these types are common enough to warrant being part of inet-types, i.e., are there any other places where these types may be useful? <tp> Clear may be but wrong! LSP Ping DOES NOT use loopback. For IPv4 it uses 127/8 and for IPv6 it uses the IPv6 format that encodes that IPv4 address. IPv6 loopback is something completely different. What LSP Ping needs is the addresses used in LSP PING which are NOT loopback. This is needed for MPLS but I cannot imagine it having any other use so I cannot see any reason to include it in 6991bis. And it would be grossly misleading for MPLS to refer to these addresses as loopback. I have not seen any use of the genuine loopback addresses in IETF YANG modules so cannot see any reason to include them in RFC6991bis.

A router had a router id, a 32 bit number with no syntax. One major manufacturer conflated parts of this and created a virtual address or addresses which could be used to send and receive packets for the router, as opposed to an interface on the router, which had no physical manifestation; fine until they called it the loopback address(es) which, sadly, caught on and many people, included those writing IETF I-D think that the router id can only be such a routable address. Some even think that there can only be one such address on a box, as opposed to one for network management, one for the control plane and so on.
