Hi Robert, We write standards to serve those who implement, deploy, and manage the technology. That means among other things, that our documents need to be specific enough to enable interoperable implementations to be written. Simply saying “the intention is to run BGP over TLS” (or some

Hi John, I think I am getting to what you are saying ... or maybe not. If I am reading it correctly you say that running BGP over TLS or DTLS is not standardized hence we should be very careful in putting this in the new documents. Would you be of a different opinion if authors say instead that

Hi John, Trimming a bit the list of to/cc I noticed you stated this: ".. as far as I’m aware, there is no IETF specification for BGP over TLS, and I don’t expect that there will ever be a specification for BGP over DTLS, given that BGP assumes a stream transport..." So that got me a bit

Hi Linda, Without doing a full review of the proposed language in context, I don’t think I can offer a firm thumbs-up or thumbs-down. But generally speaking, if the document allows the reader to understand what the security architecture is and how they would realize it, either by referencing

John, One key SD-WAN scenario involves expanding the existing VPN network by incorporating additional paths from other networks. In this context, the operator can efficiently utilize their primary management channel, initially designed for VPN control for the BGP to control the SD-WAN.

Yes, I noticed that, hence “no *IETF* specification”, it’s an individual draft. If the security model of the present spec relies on BGP-over-TLS, maybe a 00 individual contribution isn’t as firm a foundation as you’d like. Of course, I can’t speak for Roman, it’s his DISCUSS, I was just
