We are going to start a new wglc for https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-pim-null-register-packing-04.txt which was updated based upon comments during the first wglc (please see below). Since we received only one comment, and really no one showing wglc support, we are issuing a new wglc.

Sometime over the next two weeks please let the wg know if it’s ready to be sent to the iesg for publication.

thanks,
mike

Hi all,
 Read through the draft. Have a few comments.

  1.  Section 2: The P bit can be taken as the LSB on the reserved ones. This would help this get inline with recommendations from PIM draft-ietf-pim-reserved-bits.
       ##Ramki##  Not sure if using LSB or MSB has an advantage here. I am not sure if the pim-reserved-bits mandates such thing.

  1.  Instead of taking two new pim message types, the same pim register and register stop messages may be used. if this procedure can be followed.

##Ramki## It will be good to have a new type. If we overload the same type it could happen that a router receives a message and think its malformed.
a. RP discovers FHR capable of register bulking from the P bit.
b. When RP responds to this register, it can set set a P bit in R-S message.
c. Once FHR knows peer has bulking capability it can register packets with bulking
d. For bulked register messages, RP can respond with bulked R-S messages.
e. Packet format. I suggest overloading existing register and R-S packet can be done with out using two new packet formats.

3. Anycast RP



In my opinion, anycast RP procedures must be defined. Protocols typically should not

ask for any kind of specific configurations or features on its peers.

##Ramki## PIM Anycast RP is based on configuration. So not sure if this is a problem.



4. Restart / feature disable

An RP/FHR may restart or may have bullking turned on/off. In these scenarios the behavior must be defined.

##Ramki## Yes. In such scenarios if an RP is downgraded from a version that was supporting packing to one that doesn’t support it, then RP will not respond to the packed registers. In such cases one could send an unpacked  register to RP to check if the RP supports it or fallback to data register and then discover the RP capability.



Thanks,

Anish
