[Sidrops] AD review of draft-ietf-sidrops-ov-clarify

[Warren Kumari <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

Thanks to the authors for a useful and easy to read document -- I
think clarification documents are useful, especially if they are
informed by operational or implementation experience.

I do have a few questions, and a nit which I think will help with readability:

1: Why is this Standards Track? It doesn't update a Std Track
document, nor does it seem to have much in the way of protocol. If
there is a reason I'm happy to progress it like this, otherwise
Informational feels like a better fit.

2: Section 3.  Mark ALL Prefixes
   "Significant Clarification: A router MUST mark all routes in BGP
   coming from any source (eBGP, iBGP, or redistribution from static),
unless..."
Presumably the router should also mark routes redistributed from
protocols other than static as well? Regardless of the wisdom of
redistributing $favorite_igp, I'd assume they should be consistent.

3: The Shepherd Writeup seems to be missing some words:
"(3) Briefly describe the review of this document that was performed by
the Document Shepherd.  If this version of the document is not ready
for publication, please explain why the document is being forwarded to
the IESG.

Document Shepherds read the document, reviewed comments and "

4: Nit:
Section 1.  Introduction
"Deployment of RPKI-based BGP origin validation is hampered by, among
other things, vendor mis-implementations in two critical areas, which
routes are validated and whether policy is applied when not specified
by configuration."

I think that this would read much cleaner as:
"vendor mis-implementations in two critical areas: which routes are
validated" (s/,/:/)
If editing the draft to address any of the above, this seems like a
nit worth addressing.

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
