Hi Donald, as the document shepherd, I need to set the record straight on this, as your statement is simply false.
In checking that the WGLC comments had been handled in the following document update, I looked at both the email thread you participated in and the updated document. In this case, the editor very clearly responded to your inputs and made significant changes to the document. You can find an entirely new section (9.7 Connectionless Resets) starting in version 09 of the draft, which specifically responds to your comments with resolutions that were discussed on the mailing list. This section discusses maintenance of the traffic keys across reboots which answers your concern and makes the practice a "SHOULD" which is stronger even than the "MAY" that you mention below. I do not understand why you feel like your inputs were ignored, but I hope that you'll agree that this was not the case. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Smith, Donald [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 26, 2010 2:45 PM To: '[email protected]'; 'IETF-Announce' Cc: '[email protected]' Subject: Re: [tcpm] Last Call: draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-auth-opt (The TCP Authentication Option) to Proposed Standard I have commented numerous times that with a paragraph that specifically provides vendors to make "connection-less resets == attack packets" this will not get much if any use among ISPs or other bgp speakers. Those statements have pretty much been ignored. I do not support this draft and believe I have wasted my time trying to explain why to someone that is unwilling to compromise with even a "a vendor MAY maintain state to allow connectionless resets to work".
