Hi,
We have uploaded an updated draft.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-opsawg-oam-overview-10
This document has been around for a while now (4 years), and over this long
period we have receive a very large number of comments from many reviewers. We
would like to thank everyone who has reviewed and sent comments, which have
significantly helped us to improve the document.
We, the authors, believe that we have addressed all the comments we received,
and that this document is finally ready for WG last call.
As advised by our AD, Benoit Claise, we would like to get feedback about
whether we have indeed addressed the concerns that were raised, and whether
this document is ready to go.
Main changes compared to prev draft
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The main changes compared to the previous draft are:
- Various terminology fixes following comments we received from Stewart Bryant
and Benoit Claise.
- We have added a subsection about connection oriented vs. connectionless
communication, as well as a subsection about point-to-point vs.
point-to-multipoint communication.
A (not so short) history of this draft
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- October 2009 draft-mizrahi-opsawg-oam-overview was submitted as
an independent submission.
- December 2009 draft-mizrahi-opsawg-oam-overview became a WG document
- July 2010 draft-sprecher-mpls-tp-oam-primer was submitted as
an independent submission.
- July 2010 draft-ietf-opsawg-oam-overview was presented in IETF 78.
Loa Andersson commented that this draft overlaps with
draft-sprecher-mpls-tp-oam-primer, and suggested to merge them.
- October 2010 The two drafts were merged into draft-ietf-opsawg-oam-overview.
- March 2011 The draft went into WG last call.
- August 2011 The draft went through IESG review. After a short iterative
process most of the comments were addressed, except a single
(but significant) DISCUSS by the routing area AD, which
included a large number of comments.
- March 2012 The draft was significantly revised to address the comments
from the pending DISCUSS.
- Sep 2012 The updated version was not reviewed by the IESG on time.
The IESG has a 1-year-timeout for drafts in the IESG process,
and hence the draft went back to the WG.
- Dec 2012 The draft passed WG last call (again).
- Jan 2013 IETF last call: the draft received comments from ~10 reviewers,
including significant comments from the routing area reviewers.
- Jun 2013 Ops AD, Benoit Claise, returned the document to the WG
following the large number of comments.
- Jul 2013 The draft was significantly revised to address the comments in
IETF last call, and especially the ones by the routing area
reviewers.
- Oct 2013 The draft was revised to address additional comments by the
Ops area AD and the routing area AD.
Any feedback would be welcome.
Thanks,
Tal.
