M-ISIS: Multi Topology (MT)
Routing in IS-IS (Proposed Standard) - 1 of 10
Token: Bill Fenner
Bill - previous versions said "you can use DSCP", but that's not what
it's for. Is there any standard work going on to say how operators
demux overlapping address space?
Brian - any kind of packet snooping has the same problem.
Mark - like L*VPN
Bill - but that's usually interface-based. In this draft, people want
to have multiple topologies with overlapping addresses, and on the same
interfaces. No way a standards document is going to mention "demux on
DSCP" even though that's what people are going to do.
Brian - this isn't much value, it's out of scope. "Which kludge will
you use?"
Bill - but anything we do will be a kludge, and the IESG isn't going to
standardize a kludge.
Mark - should be Informational.
Bill - may be possible to get people to write down thinking,...
Brian - but you don't want an informational reference to a document
that hasn't been written yet, right?
Mark - everyone else says "out of scope, we'll wash our hands..."
Sam - interface-based isn't a kludge
Brian - but no one has written that up yet.
Bill - would not be bad to bring this up as RTG area working group item
- it's not an IS-IS topic
Brian - a lot of documents on this agenda, guys.
Mark - going NO-OBJ,

Yoshiko - for this document, IANA asked lots of questions - have IANA
considerations been revised?
Michelle - can someone hold a DISCUSS for this?
Brian - we'll go "writeup needed", and this will let us figure it out.

have been answered.
Brian - tracker will point back to Ross for next step.

o draft-ietf-idr-as4bytes-12.txt
BGP Support for Four-octet AS Number Space (Proposed
Standard) - 5 of 10
Token: Bill Fenner
Brian stated NO-OBJ on the call.
Bill - There are no DISCUSSes, but a LOT of commentary. Not comfortable
just approving this... What about all the 2119 language fixes that
authors need to make?
David - not a DISCUSS because I don't want to block the document. More
important to get it out, just that authors could have done a better job.
Sam - where are the code points defined that are required for this?
Bill - ASTRANS is already allocated, this was David's point, and it's
very sensible to point that out in this in the document.
David - if authors are willing to make small changes, great, but it's
important to publish. This document isn't actually WRONG, so don't want
to hold it up.
Bill - will hold a DISCUSS to allow for a new ID, if that's the right
way to address comments. Approving this ID makes getting a new ID work
oddly.
o draft-ietf-midcom-mib-09.txt
Definitions of Managed Objects for Middlebox Communication
(Proposed Standard) - 6 of 10
Note: SEC-DIR Reviewer: Radia Perlman (Radia.Perlman@sun.com). WG
Shephard Melinda Shore
Token: Magnus Westerlund
Sam stated NO-OBJ because Magnus already has DISCUSS on the downref
issue.
Cullen - would like to talk about this. Talking to Lars, the issue with
this document is that no one intends to implement it. My concern is
that we don't block other documents becoming PS, because we've already
approved a PS. No problems with publishing THIS document. Experimental
would also solve downrefs.
Dan - not sure I understand relation about protocol implemented or not.
I have another document in the the same situation on this agenda. Does
this make a difference?
Magnus - I don't think so, we've run the process in the working group
and need to publish the output. We can go HISTORIC in three years.
Brian - this was a very complex decision process, but this is what the
working group chose.
Cullen - but no one in the working group agrees.
Bill - maybe they thought it was the only answer the IESG would accept.
Cullen - don't go there, I don't care about publishing this, just don't
want to block other things.
Sam - it is reasonable for the IESG to publish at a lower level, but
I'm not saying anything about this document, and we have to use this
right sparingly.
Brian - this is a MIB, not a protocol
Cullen - no, it is a protocol
Brian - but I don't see how publishing a MIB keeps us from publishing a
protocol later
Bill- how serious are we about avoiding two standards-track solutions
for the same problem?
Brian - that's actually a guideline, anyway (not a rule).
Sam- very uncomfortable about framework/architecture documents that are
critical to understanding but published as IETF Informational documents
- these documents just don't get the review that standards-track
documents do. Frameworks that aren't normative references are fine at
Informational.
Dan - is this saying you can write protocols based on bits without
understanding requirements?
Sam - maybe we need a new document classifiication, but am sure I don't
like WG INFO documents that weren't last called being normative
references.
Brian - this is not a new idea.
Sam - but it's an unreasonable use of DOWNREF
Ted - we've cycled on this maybe half a dozen times, because you're
talking about document that can't be advanced to DRAFT, so people say
you shouldn't publish at PS, either. Sam's suggestion "Must Last Call
INFORMATIONAL documents that will be normative references (e.g.
architecture and framework docs)" may be good, but we can't do this ex
post facto. Unless people
include entire previously-published-as-INFO document as an appendix,
there's no way to "Last
Call" a document that's already been published.
Sam- Not what I'm saying - I'm saying this is not a reasonable downref.
Ted - but we need to get community agreement on how to handle this, and
we haven't done that in the six tries I remember.
Magnus - Move requirements doc to informative, and keep the other two
references at normative and do a new IETF last call.
Brian - should ask WG if these are really normative references.
Cullen - they are
Brian - very likely, but we still need to ask WG, it's their question
to answer
Sam - I'll hold this DISCUSS because I feel stronger than Magnus
David - but in this case, the sponsoring AD should hold the DISCUSS
because this was an oversight.
Brian - and we should talk about this in San Diego.

Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery (Proposed Standard)
- 7 of 10
Note: PROTO Document Shepherd: Matt Zekauskas (matt@internet2.edu)
Token: Lars Eggert
Do we need to DISCUSS?
Lars just saw David's DISCUSS, need to prepare.
David - do other ADs agree with my DISCUSS? It's pretty strong.
Brian - it's too long to understand.
David - I was trying to add context. Perhaps I failed.
Brian - did WG consider these issues?
David - this draft penalizes people with normal MTU sizes in favor of
people with pathological MTUs - not good for routers or for Internet.
Brian - these authors are also from a very specialized corner of the
Internet. WG needs to absorb this DISCUSS.
David - do other ADs have opinions?
Sam - I understand your concern, but this draft is a clear improvement
and I don't see another solution.
David - OPS has suggestion to start probes at much larger value - 1500
bytes is most common case.
"1500 bytes, unless you have information about the local link" - but we
don't have time to DISCUSS this further on this call.
Lars will follow up with WG chairs.

Token: Ross Callon
Two DISCUSSes - do we need to DISCUSS?
Ross - authors need to address Gen-ART issues, but e-mail is still
flying around on the other DISCUSS
Sam - most of the e-mail is talking about the need for the text, not
the text itself - most of the discussion is not required to resolve
DISCUSS ballot
Brian - Ted Seely says no reason to add text, but no reason not to.
Dave Meyer - Ted seemed OK about this when he and I talked this morning.
Sam - when we change ADs, we change pet peeves. Yours are different

Russ declined to state a position.
Two DISCUSSes.
Dan - this is same issue as MIDCOM MIB - normative downref to
informational architecture document.
Sam - could move to Informative reference, could implement this one
without architecture document.
Cullen - I talked to the authors at the last IETF and they agreed that
to implement SCTP-PR over DTLS, you need a document that defined more
than just what's in DTLS. There is a draft that covers this,
draft-tuexen-dtls-for-sctp-01, but it is still a draft. I'm not
sure they agree that meant it should be a normative reference or in
fact referenced at all.
Dan - waiting from response from authors and chairs to the new version
of Cullen's DISCUSS, may have another session at this IETF.

these particular points to DISCUSS?
Sam - can't believe OPS community would buy this text.

Token: David Kessens
Two DISCUSSes - need to discuss?
David - didn't see mail last night. Is Jari's DISCUSS simple?
Jari - think so, and Sam's is related - what to do with unallocated
numbers? Obvious policy is "anything you don't know, drop it" from
operators, but there are two equally plausible strategies. Magnus also
asked - are we talking about operator firewalls or customer firewalls?
David - just need to so some more reading.
Sam - think security overview document used similar approach
successfully.
David - will look at this based on Sam's suggestion. "Revised ID
Needed."
Jari - what is intention about updating reference/blocking document in
RFC Editor note?
Brian - two bis drafts have been around forever, wouldn't advise
blocking and waiting on them to be published.

Russ's DISCUSS is on text that wasn't modified?
Russ - wasn't on telechat where this was discussed previously, will
clear if I'm blocking inappropriately
Dan - no, protocol doc is blocked, too, no problem.
Brian - for new ADs, remember, bad manners to DISCUSS text when you
review unchanged text for the second time - usually, you should have
caught this the first time. Russ wasn't on first-review telechat for
this document, so no criticism. Just guidance for new ADs.
3.2 Individual Submissions Via AD
Reviews should focus on these questions: "Is
this document a reasonable
contribution to the area of Internet

Encapsulation Methods for Transport of Layer 2
Frames Over MPLS Networks (Historic)
- draft-martini-l2circuit-trans-mpls-19.txt
Transport of Layer 2 Frames Over MPLS (Historic)
Token: Mark Townsley
Brian - we got dinged for publishing media types as Historic because
they were being used. Will people involved find this perjorative?
Mark - certainly are implementations, but consensus in the community is
to move to standard solution.
Brian - but do you need to make a stronger statement than
Informational? The boilerplate for Informational is "not a standard of
any kind"
Mark - not entirely clear when we should use Historic
Sam - IETF feedback on media types experience was asking to explain
what the rationale actually is.
Mark - there was text about this in my last call.
Jari - document says "don't do this if you're implementing now"
Sam - then we're met the request for this draft.
Jari - would be good to say the same thing in the abstract - abstract
is distributed more widely than the rest of the document
Mark - fine, only pushing back on changes that alter the protocol.
Approved, with an RFC Editor note for the abstract.

No DISCUSSes - document was approved with no discussions.

we abolish 1264 immediately, or when this is published as in RFC?
Bill - this was the right thing to do, so we'll abolish 1264
immediately, and will forward this notification to RTG area when it
comes out (next week).
3.3 Individual Submissions Via RFC Editor
The IESG will use RFC 3932 responses: 1) The
IESG has not
found any conflict between this document and
IETF work; 2) The
IESG thinks that this work is related to
IETF work done in WG
<X>, but this does not prevent
publishing; 3) The IESG thinks
that publication is harmful to work in WG
<X> and recommends
not publishing at this time; 4) The IESG
thinks that this
document violates the IETF procedures for
<X> and should
therefore not be published without IETF
review and IESG
approval; 5) The IESG thinks that this
document extends an
IETF protocol in a way that requires IETF
review and should
therefore not be published without IETF
review and IESG approval.
Other matters may be recorded in comments to
be passed on
to the RFC Editor as community review of the

4.1.2 Proposed for Approval
o Network Endpoint Assessment (nea) - 1 of 2
Token: Russ Housley
Ted - where we are is still not a good place, it's better with
Harald/Vidya text, but still not good. If we approve this, should be
noting at least one IESG objection.
Russ - they are willing to add this text, in order to get the working
group.
Ted - I'll ABSTAIN, so I won't block this action.
Sam - did you see Bernard's comments? I wish they had come much earlier
- about how this is inappropriate for mobile devices, and mobile
devices won't know what network they are connecting to...
Ted ... so you can be providing posture assessments to an
attacker that now knows what you are vulnerable. This makes sense in
very limited environments, but if you're out in the world, you're very
vulnerable. I'm only abstaining because the work is going to be done
somewhere, and will be more likely to end up in inappropriate parts of
the network.
Brian - the question is whether this is going to be done worse
somewhere else
Ted - is group unwilling to charter for the security analysis first?
Thought they were unwilling
Russ - I don't think I ever said this
Ted - that would be nice, but it's a delaying tactic at best
Russ - yes, and if work is done elsewhere while WG is working on
securiity analysis, we'll be in the same place.
Sam - our mission statement is pretty clear that we aren't responsible
for the entire Internet. Need to not worry about work being done worse
somewhere else.
Brian - agree with you, but am concerned about press articicles about
how the IETF is refusing to fix security problems
Cullen - is there no way to fix the security problems?
Ted - EKR is right. If you don't deal with lying endpoints, we end up
with people trusting based on pixie dust and still not knowing what
network they connect to.
Sam - AD made it very clear to the WG that they had to listen to the
community.
Ted - but you can't tell the chairs that we're going to keep adding
hoops for them to leap through.
Sam - is security analyisis at the front of their charter? If it is, I
trust the chairs, and the AD (mumble NomCom). Just rip out the
milestones until AD adds them back.
Cullen - could even have a list of "milesones to be added".
Sam - wouldn't object either way, but would be happier that way.
Russ - two items, enterprise limitation and narrowed milestones. Is
that all I need to do for the announcement?
Ted - enterprise limitation is very important, and we're going to be
creating a technology that is useful sometimes and dangerous other
times.
Sam - question is, do we want WG to consider design features that make
this easier to deploy? We have no control over how people deploy things.
Russ - I'm happy to make both changes. There has been significant
discussion on enterprise limitaion, and milestone modifications are
just how IESG is choosing to run the work.
Brian - anyone want to be listed as ABSTAIN?
Ted - I'd like to be listed as an ABSTAIN ... an active ABSTAIN.
WG creation approved pending edits to charter from Russ.

4.2 WG Rechartering
4.2.1 Under evaluation for IETF Review
o Internet Emergency Preparedness (ieprep) - 1 of 1
Token: Jon Peterson
Sam - please send this out for external review so I can ask people to
kill it - should be no surprise to anyone.
Jon - IEPREP started rechartering to work on requirements in their
requirements documents, but people were concerned that scope was too
big and let WG make bad decisions with no supervision. Resulting
changes to charter are from negotiations with Sam. Charter is typical
for RAI, showing initial submission, plus approvals, plus ... not doing
protocol development as such, they can identify mechanisms without
specifying them.
Brian - what does mechanism draft actually do?
Jon - it's structured as a BCP, and it's very likely this will follow
the MLPP-that-works approach that was used successfully.
Brian - this is very close to operational stuff - not a criticism, just
an observation.
Jon - look forward to this debate and have my own reservation, but
we're in a difficult position based on the way we've treated these guys
historically, with concerns about whether the work should be done under
our watchful eye or sent off to some other SDO.
Ross - this is the "teenaged daughter" problem, any parent knows about
that. The problem is clueless people who don't understand IP can do
more damage in another forum.
Sam - but this is closer to architecture than protocol work, and we're
not necessarily the best place to do architecture work. Maybe this is
an opportunity for us to build bridges with ITU.
Cullen - all the participants in this work could make the work happen
at ITU, if that was the right answer.
Ted - concern was that ITU work might not use the IETF building
blocks...
Brian - ... or might use them inappropriately.
Dan - are they meeting in San Diego?
Jon - unlikely
Brian - but they will start to meet. This is going for wider review,
and you'll see lively discussion.
Jon - that's fine. Anyone with strong views should express them.
Magnus - forward RSVP requirements to TSVWG?
Jon - does charter name TSVWG now?
Magnus - no, just a generic statement
Lars - concerned that IEPREP might think they have token for RSVP.
Jon - these guys aren't chartered to do anything on RSVP, of course.
Magnus - existing text says "provide protocol requirements to
appropriate WG" - that's fine.
Brian - "good enough" to go for comments - going out for IETF review,
with Jon's newest text (from today).
4.2.2 Proposed for Approval
o Host Identity Protocol (hip) - 1 of 1
Token: Mark Townsley
Cullen - what changed?
Mark - NAT traversal and HIP API
Brian - and formatting error in box that's not a box anymore
Mark - did change "working with legacy NATs" text from previous
versions to avoid IRTF-land.
Will mark a bunch of milestones "DONE" and send recharter announcement.
5. IAB News We can use, from Dave Meyer
IAB has been mulling over architectural statement involving anycast,
and preparing for IETF meeting (arranging for BOF coverage, etc.)
Reviewed IAOC RFC Editor proposal and provided input.
Continuing to discuss the current JFC Morfin appeal, and the Todd
Glassey complaint re. ietf mailing list suspension.
Trying to get Routing and Addressing Workshop minutes out, planning to
summarize at joint meeting in San Diego. One of the key takeaways from
the workshop was a desire to put serious effort into ID/locator split,
architecturally.
Related work in V6OPS on Multihoming, Fred Baker has asked for input
here.
Leslie - joint lunch in San Diego, Brian's proposed agenda was just
about disjoint with Phil's, Leslie will send Brian a note about
Phil's agenda and Leslie and Brian will coordinate.
Dave Meyer - could IESG name a counterpart for coordination?
Ross - thought workshop was very effective. Can coordinate with IAB.
Jari - can also help, whatever people think.
Brian - just need to work on getting the points across to people who
weren't at the workshop.
6. Management Issue
None discussed on this call.
7. Agenda Working Group News
Jari Arkko - two WGs in my area are duelling (NETLMM and MIP6). NETLMM
is a completely new protocol, some people saying we should use Mobile
IPv6 in "proxy mode". NETLMM rough consensus was to go ahead with what
they had, but they are looking at the objections to understand
them better. This will delay moving ahead with protocol for some time,
but it makes no sense to delay for months -- otherwise the decision
will effectively be taken by others outside the IETF.
Brian Carpenter - RFC 4748 requires a small change to IPR boilerplate,
have to tell
community to change boilerplate, fix XML2RFC, etc. during ID submission
blackout
Lars Eggert - we just approved the last rddp document, they will
consequently close soon. the ips documents are on their way, too, so
the storage area in tsv
will be shrinking soon. also, bellovin has written a motivation for a
tcp-md5 replacement that he'll present at tcpm, in case people want to
attend (there was iesg interest in this earlier)
Sam Hartman - concerned about lack of discussion on SPKM, doesn't look
like people want to solve an important problem for NFS. Otherwise, lots
of work going on, and if people responded to AD comments, I'd have more
documents on the telechat agendas...
Russ Housley - very close to closing PKI4IPSEC group
Dan Romascanu - closing RMONMIB, announcing today (successfully,
celebrate in San Diego) Network Management Research Group last week
plus follow-on discussion about next steps. Working on minutes, will
forward when available.
Mark Townsley - Two working groups [L2VPN and L1VPN?] stepping on each
other's charters about how we set up LSPs, will meet in San Diego to
resolve. ANCP also has issues to work in San Diego.
8. ANYTHING ELSE?
* Cullen - where are we on agenda changes? Changes are happening, but
were still happening Tuesday/Wednesday.
* Brian - need to have discussion with Marcia on procedures in San
Diego.
