I’ve reviewed the latest version, and I have two comments. First, while this document has come a long way in avoiding a “recommendation” to use LLA-only, I still am concerned at putting this forward as a WG draft, as it still serves as implicit IETF endorsement of something I still view as a bad idea. It’s the last I’ll say about it and I’ll go with WG consensus on the matter, but I’d much rather see this as an individual draft.
Second, you briefly mention some complications with RSVP-TE in your caveats section. There is currently a draft we’re hoping to get adopted in the MPLS WG (draft-george-mpls-ipv6-only-gap) that analyzes the gaps preventing operation of MPLS on an IPv6-only network. We received some feedback from Nagendra Kumar pointing out that an additional gap is created if one uses LLA-only, but the authors have made the decision to try to avoid discussing draft implementations in that gap analysis, or else the draft will never be finished. We are instead encouraging draft authors to consider IPv6-only operation in their drafts, and to identify existing gaps that the draft depends on getting resolved, or making changes to address any gaps as appropriate. Therefore, you may want to include some of the reviewer’s suggested text in this draft: RSVP-TE [I-D.ietf-opsec-lla-only] describes the approach of enabling link- local addresses alone in transit links. This raises a need for new SubObject to carry a combination of RouterID and Link/Interface ID in RSVP PATH and RESV message. Gap: Minor, New SubObject for RSVP message for specific IPv6 deployment. If the WG decides to move this -06 version on for IETF LC consideration, this is probably something that can be added when the authors are incorporating last call comments.
