Re: [Lsr] Roman Danyliw's No Objection on draft-ietf-lsr-isis-invalid-tlv-02: (with COMMENT)
Roman (and Acee) - After a suggestion from Ben, I have reworded the sentence to read: " When new protocol behaviors are specified that are not backwards compatible, it is RECOMMENDED that implementations provide controls for their enablement. This serves to prevent interoperability issues and allow for non-disruptive introduction of the new functionality into an existing network." Let me know if this resolves the concerns.

[Les:] The recommendation is for implementations to provide control as to when the new (non-backwards compatible) behavior is used. Without that, an implementation which adds support for (to use one example) sending the Purge Originator TLV in the presence of MD5 authentication would simply start sending it and risk the PDU not being accepted by implementations which had not yet added the support. One way of reading this is that "including the POI TLV in purges w MD5 authentication" is "enablement" of a new feature. Another way of reading it might be "disablement" of the use of a new feature. This seems to me to be a semantical distinction. The recommendation to use "controls" also does not specify what the default behavior should be - that is up to the implementation.

[Lsr] Roman Danyliw's No Objection on draft-ietf-lsr-isis-invalid-tlv-02: (with COMMENT)
Roman Danyliw has entered the following ballot position for draft-ietf-lsr-isis-invalid-tlv-02: No Objection When responding, please keep the subject line intact and reply to all email addresses included in the To and CC lines. (Feel free to cut this introductory paragraph, however.) Please refer to https://www.ietf.org/iesg/statement/discuss-criteria.html for more information about IESG DISCUSS and COMMENT positions. The document, along with other ballot positions, can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-isis-invalid-tlv/ -- COMMENT: -- I'm glad to see language clarifying error handling. Thanks for the work on it. Section 3.2. Per “It is RECOMMENDED that implementations provide controls for the enablement of behaviors that are not backward compatible”, I want to double check that I’m understanding this sentence correctly. RFC5304 provides normative guidance that isn’t backward compatible with ISO10589. RFC6233 provide guidance that isn’t backward compatible with either RFC5304 or ISO10589. Is the initial sentence effectively saying that implementations should support deployments in configurations that are not backward compatible (i.e., those using the newer TLVs)? As these changes are covering security matters, I read “controls” in the cyber mitigation sense -- they prevent an action, not enable one. ___ Lsr mailing list Lsr@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/lsr
