Jeff,
Thank you for initiating WGLC on this draft per request of the authors. I support progressing this draft to publication (as a co-author). I agree with you that the draft could use very high scrutiny. Note that I've posted version -06 attempting to address your last call comments, and the detailed reply has been sent to the mailing list. Links as below. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-bfd-unaffiliated-echo-06 https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/rtg-bfd/si2-rPPZxe6l8tq8xJZEEY8DlDM/ Best Regards, Xiao Min Original From: JeffreyHaas <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]>; Date: 2023年03月22日 00:02 Subject: WGLC for draft-ietf-bfd-unaffiliated-echo (ending 7 April, 2023) Working Group, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-bfd-unaffiliated-echo/05/ The authors of draft-ietf-bfd-unaffiliated-echo have requested WGLC. The draft, in my opinion, is in fairly good shape. However, since it functions via looping packets back to itself and trying to exercise the normal RFC 5880 state machine behaviors to a large extent, the draft could use very high scrutiny for several matters: - Does the state machine behave appropriately at all stages? - Are the descriptions of the values of the BFD fields clear in all cases? Please supply the authors and the Working Group with your feedback. The intended finish date for this WGLC is 7 April, 2023. This is one week after the end of IETF 116. Note that Reshad is an author on the draft, so I'll be handling the full set of review and shepherding work. -- Jeff
