Dear Tony, all,

More elaboration and justification for selecting the proposed solutions would 
be 
welcome. At least including some text to motivate why one single solution is 
not 
convenient, what part(s) of the problem is covered by each of the proposed 
three 
solutions, why other candidate solutions do not fulfil the initial design 
requirements, etc.

Cheers,
Med

[[WEG]] Agree. If you ignore the whining about IVIP not being chosen/refuted to 
his satisfaction (and his rehashing of his issues with you as a chair) from 
Robin's message, he has a point. Your recommendation does not currently have 
sufficient information to stand on its own as anything other than a 
pseudo-random choice on the chairs' part driven by the absence of a consensus 
from the group. While I have a lot of respect for you and your opinion, your 
credibility as chairs and IxTF participants is not strong enough to ensure that 
the recommendation is taken seriously by the community on face value alone. I 
assume that some thought went into the recommendation, so as they told me in 
math class - show your work. Take the reader through the thought process that 
led to this recommendation for you.

The recommendation certainly doesn't have to re-hash each discussion in the 
previous section, but it does need to hit a couple of the high points. I'd like 
to see something that expounds on the contributed critiques and defenses of 
ILNP 
when compared to the other proposals which are not being recommended - in other 
words, "the recommended proposal addresses the following problems present in X, 
Y, Z proposals (or categories of proposals) in the following ways...."
ILNP is an IPv6-only solution. IPv6 may do what so ever - for more than a 
decade. No one really cares. 
However, it would be against RFC4984 to ignore the IPv4's scalability problem 
incl. the associated Moore's-law-resistance.
Just supporting ILNP means ignoring the task given by RFC4984. Imho: ILNP is 
free to go ahead ( just as LISP was free to go ahead).
But that will not solve anything (well, it will please the chairs :-).
What is the ILNP locator all about? Is it routable? Or is it only mappable just 
like the MAC address or the current IPv4/v6 address?
Is it at least PI ? What is it really and precisely?
How about the basic requirement "incremental deployability" ? Is it a non-issue 
for ILNP because the few IPv4-addressers aren't worth to be considered?
Six years have been wasted so far and the actual decision of the chairs is 
blantly  ignoring the task to come up with an architecture that fits a future 
internet.

It may also be helpful to at least identify why the outlined problems are 
fundamental enough to sink the other proposals.
Also, you need a section - "the following issues are still known to exist with 
the recommendations..." which leads to an explanation of why multiple proposals 
are needed, as well as outlining the problem-space that IETF needs to solve to 
actually implement these ideas.

As to why multiple proposals are required to solve the problem, you have some 
feedback in the form of the comments from myself and several other operators in 
Anaheim- We see AIS as a short-term solution to buy us time to build a better 
one, which in this case is ILNP. Consensus not being an option, I'd think that 
Operator feedback might be a good way to lend credibility.
Lastly, you also need to draw a better logical link to why renumbering is 
specifically mentioned here - if the problem is either unique to ILNP's 
implementation, or fundamental to make any of these proposals work better, say 
that. Otherwise, I'm not sure it's clear why that's referenced. We know 
renumbering needs work, we have a good draft telling us why, but unless you 
make 
it clearer why it's something that has to be fixed in the context of RRG- what 
not fixing it would exacerbate in the RRG recommended solution, it shows as an 
afterthought.

Thanks,
Wes

Objet : [rrg] Proposal for recommendation language


Hi all,

I hope everyone's had a chance to get caught up with their day jobs after
IETF.  ;-)

I would like to start work on the language to go in section 17
(Recommendation) of our document.  As a strawman, I would like to propose
the language below.  This would appear (modulo editorial changes) as the
complete text of that section.

Comments?

Regards,
Tony

P.s. The draft is also open for folks that would like to make editorial
changes to their contributions.

----------------
As can be seen from the extensive list above, the group explored a number of
possible solutions. Unfortunately, the group did not reach rough consensus
on a single best approach.  Accordingly, the decision of the co-chairs is to
recommend that the IETF pursue work in the following areas:

- Aggregation in Increasing Scopes [I-D.zhang-evolution]

- Identifier/Locator Network Protocol (ILNP) [ILNP Site]

- Renumbering [I-D.carpenter-renum-needs-work]
