Re: [PWE3] Re: Header Compression over MPLS & Allison's DISCUSS Comment on PWE3 IANA Allocation Draft

Magnus,

Thanks - that's a great comment. Actually, the registrations should probably reference BOTH the primary HC spec and the avt-hc-over-mpls draft. We'll get that fixed.

Regarding the registrations, the PWE3 IANA draft already has already been populated from other PWE3 drafts (not yet IESG approved), and we also wanted to be included, since we anticipate a possibly substantial period between IESG approval of the PWE3 IANA draft and its publication (and actual population of the registries?) due to waiting for references.

First of all I would think the IANA actions will happen quite early in the process of publication. Secondly, any future addition into that registry can't overtake this document, thus I don't share your concerns with being possible to register the things from AVT draft. And thirdly we can use the registration rules as soon as they are approved by the IESG.

In summary I don't see a problem of having the AVT HC over MPLS draft register its own identifier in due time. That also avoids issues if the draft goes through changes that makes your pre-registration become erroneous.

There's substantial support in the AVT group for this
draft, the draft has pretty well converged at this point, and we anticipate WG last call Real Soon Now (I believe Jerry was planning on requesting it during the Vancouver meeting).

I have reviewed it and as WG chair I can't accept it to go to WG last call in its current form. It is simply to badly written with a lot of ambiguities. I will post my comments to AVT on this. But the main thing is that the draft still reads more like an proposal to a solution, rather than being specification text that you can follow to implement the protocol in an interoperable fashion.

Several revisions of the
draft have also been submitted to PWE3 for review (as is obvious from which list this discussion is on :-).


Good, I want review from all involved parties. Please continue to review and post comments (to AVT please). You will get the announcement on WG last call when that happen.

Cheers
