Folks
To close this for now.
I see no compelling reason to change the BCP RFC 6302.
Thanks for providing your opinion. I think opinions from operators are
extremely useful and helpful.
Privacy is important. But equally so is the need to protect our customers, ourselves and
the population against cyber criminals and they are legion. There is a compelling need
for Law Enforcement Agencies and Governments to know some information about traffic as it
relates to criminal and military acts (state sponsored cyber espionage etc.,). It is up
to the civil authorities to define what is "acceptable reach" for the above
agencies actions. It is up to us as citizens to then hold the civil authorities
accountable at least in the US.
This is far beyond an IETF discussion.
I think there is a delicate balance between protecting the users'
privacy and implementing the operators' requirements for traceability.
If by "far beyond an IETF discussion" you mean that recommendations from
the IETF are only one consideration among many for real life
deployments, I fully agree with you. But what the IETF publishes as a
BCP is within the purview of the IETF, and it is entirely reasonable for
people to initiate discussion on whether the recommendations in RFC6302
are current in light of RFC7258.
Thanks
Suresh
