[Pidloc] Comments on REQUIREMENT DRAFT draft-xyz-pidloc-reqs-00

[Shunsuke Homma <[e-mail]>]

Hi, 

It was disappointing that the BoF proposal could not get approval, but I reviewed PS and Req drafts, and 
send some comments.

I felt that the situation  where privacy problems would occur is ambiguous, and thus I’d like propose following categorization on deployment scenarios of ID-Loc as additional sections .


----
X. Deployment Scenarios of ID-Loc and Potential Risks 

There are several variations on deployment of ID-Loc architecture. This section describes the overviews of some deployment scenarios and their potential risks.


X.1. Internal of Single Administrative Domain
In this scenario, all of ID Loc functions, such as mapping database or ID-Loc node, run within a single administrative domain.  For example, an enterprise data center or a carrier network are categorized to this. The locators are generally never know by 3rd parties, and there are few risks that location or movement privacies are exposed. 

X.2. Across Multiple Trust Domains
In this scenario, ID-Loc functions are connected via domains of other trusted administrators. For example,  enterprise with multiple sites connected via dedicated line is categorized to this. ID-Loc functions on each site communicate over networks operated by other administrators, and thus ID, locator, and  the mapping may be grasped by the administrators of the intermediate network.


X.3. Across Un-Trusted Domains
In this scenario, ID-Loc functions are connected via un-trusted domains such as Internet. Both  data and control planes of ID-Loc are communicated via unspecified networks, and thus there are risks to be stolen information about location or movement of ID by 3rd persons.

X.4. Globally Distributed
In this scenario, ID-Loc is used instead of current IP mechanism, and every packet is forwarded based on locators independent from IDs. ID-Loc mapping system runs as hierarchical or decentralized system to provide mapping of ID and locator for ID-Loc nodes of multiple (administrators) domains. (I.e., ID-Loc mapping system runs as similar with DNS server.) In such case, ID-Loc mapping system should be accessible for unspecified nodes, and this means unspecified nodes are able to get the mapping information. In addition, it is possible to be a target of attacks such as DDoS attack.

----

Also, I have some small comments as below.
- The status of such documents should be "Informational".
- Scalability is actually important requirement, but the meaning is very wide. It would be able to be broken down into several aspects such as system implementation and the number of accommodated users.
- Flexibility can be broken down  as well.



If you have any questions or opinions, please feel free to contact me.

Best regards,

Shunsuke

Abstract:
   Use of Identifier Locator separation systems is proposed for various
   use cases to allow for efficient and service aware flexible end-to-
   end routing.  A statement on the issue of privacy preservation of
   both users and devices identity and location describes major
   challenges identified for this problem.  This document attempts to
   derive requirements towards a potential solution space of approaches
   to preserve privacy in Identifier-Locator split (PidLoc) protocols.

until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
