Hello,


I have been selected as the Routing Directorate reviewer for this draft. The 
Routing Directorate seeks to review all routing or routing-related drafts as 
they pass through IETF last call and IESG review, and sometimes on special 
request. The purpose of the review is to provide assistance to the Routing ADs. 
For more information about the Routing Directorate, please see 
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/rtg/trac/wiki/RtgDir



Although these comments are primarily for the use of the Routing ADs, it would 
be helpful if you could consider them along with any other IETF Last Call 
comments that you receive, and strive to resolve them through discussion or by 
updating the draft.

Intended Status: Informational



Summary:  This document is a well written document - easy to understand. My 
compliments to the authors. I believe there is one minor issue which I would 
like to see addressed before publication.



Major Issues: None



Minor Issues:



In Section 5.2 there is a definition of the information which is required to be 
kept by an I2RS Agent for each I2RS interaction. I would like to see the 
addition of "Request State" into this list. Operationally each request could be 
in one of the following states:



*         Enqueued (or pending if you prefer)

*         In process

*         Completed



The lack of such a state seems to imply that both the queue time and the 
processing time are insignificant. While I think this may be the case for many 
requests, it will not always be the case. In queue time may be lengthy due to 
other load on the Agent. Also, some requests - particularly destructive 
requests which involve cleanup of resources - may take a significant amount of 
time to complete.



Along with this an additional timestamp - Processing Initiated - would be 
useful to indicate when processing of the request actually began.



Nits:



Section 5.1



s/Some notable elements on the architecture/ Some notable elements of the 
architecture



Figure 1



Not clear to me why Application IDs start at 0 but Client IDs start at 1.



Figure 1



Is the text "Op Data V" between I2RS Agent box and Routing System box 
intentional?



Section 5.2



Secondary Identity



This is defined to be "opaque" yet if not provided the agent is supposed to 
insert "an UNAVAILABLE value". This seems to be a contradiction unless we have 
a publicly defined value that clients are prohibited from using. Absent that 
you would need a "Secondary Identity Valid" indicator.
