Re: [sidr] request for agenda items for interim meeting 6 Jun

[Matt Lepinski <[e-mail]>]

Sandy,

In my opinion the biggest open issue in the bgpsec protocol draft is the 
confederation issue that we discussed at the previous interim. (That is, 
if we don't include AS4_Path or AS_Path in a bgpsec signed update, then 
we need to somehow encode the information that would be in the 
AS_confed_sequence segments of the AS_Path.) At the April interim there 
were three possible solutions that people put forward to address this 
issue. However, we didn't decide on what was the best way forward. Now 
that people have had some more time to think about the issue, I would 
very much like to try and reach concensus at the Vancouver interim so 
that  we can close this issue. If it would be helpful, I'm happy to 
throw together a few slides for the interim summarizing the problem and 
the possible solutions discussed at the April interim.

Also, recently submitted a new version of 
draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol (the -03 version). This document has 
significant changes from the (-02) version. Most, if not all of the 
changes were discussed at the Paris sidr meeting, so it probably isn't 
necessary to present them again. However, I would encourage anyone who 
is able to read Section 3 (the format for the BGPSEC_Path_Signatures 
attribute) of  the -03 version before Vancouver. There may be places in 
the draft where the foolish document editor failed to produce text that 
reflects what the working group agreed to in Paris, and it would be good 
to get those issues (if they exist) resolved sooner rather than later.

We had some discussion in the Paris meeting of two drafts discussing provisioning the routers with their needed private keys.  There's also been a recent flurry of discussion on the list.
