Re: [OPSAWG] Call for adoption: draft-boydseda-ipfix-psamp-bulk-data-yang-model

2020-05-16 Thread Mehmet Ersue
Hi All,

although technically (and surprisingly) allowed I would like to state my
discomfort for publishing this draft as AD sponsored document. I believe a
draft which is proposed to replace a standard-track RFC developed with long
discussions and reviews in an IETF WG should be again re-discussed and
reviewed with its changes in a WG before publishing. Otherwise it feels like
bypassing IETF process. 

I personally have no big interest in this draft as I assume RFC 6728 has not
been used in the industry widely. Though if there is strong support in
OPSAWG for the changes in this draft and updating RFC 6728 I would be
supportive too. However I did not see such strong support in OPSAWG yet. I
think we also should clarify on the maillist whether the changes in the
draft are only technically interesting or sufficient amount of people in the
WG (excluding draft authors) are planning to implement and use.

If ever the WG decides to develop such a draft replacing RFC 6728 I believe
it should be divided in parts where the WG should at the first place focus
on changes related to RFC 6728. The decision on developing a draft on bulk
data transfer should be provided separately as I assume the interest on this
part would be less than updating the existing RFC. Dividing into parts makes
it indeed more manageable.

My 2 cents.

Cheers,
Mehmet

[OPSAWG] Opsdir last call review of draft-ietf-opsawg-sdi-03

2020-02-18 Thread Mehmet Ersue via Datatracker
Reviewer: Mehmet Ersue
Review result: Has Nits

I reviewed the document "Secure Device Install (draft-ietf-opsawg-sdi-03) as
part of the Operational directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF
documents being processed by the IESG. These comments were written primarily
for the benefit of the operational area directors.  Document editors and WG
chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments.

Intended status: Informational
Current IESG state: I-D Exists
IANA State: N/A

Summary:
The document extends existing auto-install / Zero-Touch Provisioning mechanisms
to make the process more secure.

There are no relevant draft nits in the document.

Though there are a few typos, etc.
s/There are also a/There is also a/
s/an auto-install techniques/an auto-install technique/
s/etc;/etc.;/
5x s/e.g/e.g./

As far as I can see the document has been repeatedly improved and is in good
shape. I don't see any big issues related to management preventing from
publication.

Hi Warren,

Thank you for taking over the lead and responsibility for this draft.

Yes, OPSAWG is the best place for this document to be discussed.
Yes, the authors should ask for adoption / discussion here.
And yes, it is necessary to have a significant discussion before allowing to
obsolete a standard track RFC published at IETF after long discussions in
IPFIX/PSAMP WGs.

Cheers,
Mehmet

[OPSAWG] FW: [OPS-DIR] Opsdir last call partial review of draft-boydseda-ipfix-psamp-bulk-data-yang-model-02

2019-12-01 Thread Mehmet Ersue
I think this draft should be reviewed and commented by OPSAWG WG before
publishing as "AD sponsored standard track RFC" obsoleting RFC 6728.
(RFC 6728 authors CCed).

Review is partially done. Another assignment may be needed to complete it.

Reviewer: Mehmet Ersue
Review result: Not Ready

I reviewed the document "YANG Data Models for the IP Flow Information Export
(IPFIX) Protocol, Packet Sampling (PSAMP) Protocol, and Bulk Data Export
(draft-boydseda-ipfix-psamp-bulk-data-yang-model-02) as part of the
Operational directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being
processed by the IESG. These comments were written primarily for the benefit
of the operational area directors.  Document editors and WG chairs should
treat these comments just like any other last call comments.

Obsoletes: 6728 (if approved)
Intended status: Standards Track
Current IESG state: I-D Exists

Summary:
The document aims to replace the YANG model for packet sampling (PSAMP) and
bulk data collection and export via the IPFIX protocol originally defined in
standard track RFC 6728 (Configuration Data Model for the IP Flow
Information Export (IPFIX) and Packet Sampling (PSAMP) Protocols). The YANG
data model in the document also aims to be conform with the Network
Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) defined in RFC 8342. FYI: The YANG
model is currently in review by Martin Bjorklund from YANG modeling
perspective.

The document further aims to decouple the PSAMP collecting process and the
IPFIX exporting process as well as defining an exporting process which does
not require SCTP support. The document tries to enable the export frequency
to be controlled by the exporting process, support of large IPFIX mediation
functions, and flexible referencing of interfaces. The new functionality
described above and the necessary restructuring of the model in RFC 6728
might become useful if done properly as an extension to RFC 6728.

However based on missing IPFIX and PSAMP expertise, unfortunately I'm not
able to give a solid statement on to whether the document is capable to
replace the standard track RFC 6728. Moreover the new functionality and
changes to the original model require thorough and in-depth review by IPFIX
and PSAMP experts.

Also as the document is largely based on RFC 6728, introducing the authors
of RFC 6728 as co-authors and involving them for review would very useful.
As a minimum they need to be involved as reviewers and mentioned in the
Acknowledgments section.

The document is proposed to publish as an AD sponsored draft, which is not
an issue per se. It is also not forbidden but very unusual that an AD
sponsored draft is proposed to replace a standard track RFC. I would be
highly interested to know why this path has been chosen.

However I believe it is a substantial issue that this draft has not been
discussed and supported in any IETF maillist until today. There was only a
short presentation in OPSAWG WG session one year ago without any record of
support. The authors are not known at IETF and have not written any other
than the current draft. The authors have most likely BBF background.

As IPFIX and PSAMP WGs have already concluded, I would like to recommend
_urgently_ to introduce the draft to OPSAWG maillist and ask for support. It
is IMO essentially important that the document gets discussed and reviewed
by IPFIX and PSAMP people available in OPSAWG and by the authors of RFC 6728
before publication. It also needs to be clarified whether the draft has been
already or is going to be implemented.

In case there is no support in OPSAWG WG for this draft to replace the
standard track RFC 6728 I believe it would be appropriate to publish it as
an "AD sponsored Experimental RFC". It can still become a standard track RFC
after getting implementation reports and appropriate community feedback on
its usage.

Sorry for not being the right expert reviewer for the draft content.
Therefore I've set the review result to "Partially Completed - extra
reviewer is to be assigned" and hope the draft gets a proper review in
OPSAWG WG and by the authors of RFC 6728.

[OPSAWG] Opsdir last call partial review of draft-boydseda-ipfix-psamp-bulk-data-yang-model-02
