I submitted a new version of the bgpsec protocol document. This revision includes a fair number of editorial changes but does not include any normative changes.
Now that the BGPSEC requirements document is essentially done, I look forward to discussing the protocol document again in Toronto. In particular, between now and the Toronto meeting I will write up (and send to the list) a brief comparison between the requirements in the final version of the reqs draft and what we deliver in the protocol document. The only open issue in the protocol document that I am aware of is the following: * It was suggested in a review that we should explicitly specify (when we discuss error handling) that an implementation send a BGP NOTIFICATION message when an error occurs. Personally, I don't think this is necessary. (In particular, my reading of draft-ietf-idr-error-handling-13 is that in the "treat as withdrawal" case that a NOTIFICATION message is not required. That being said, I am very willing to defer to the BGP experts in the group on this issue. In particular, does anyone know if the intention of draft-ietf-idr-error-handling is for a NOTIFICATION to be sent when an error is "treat as withdrawal"? (I am concerned that sending a NOTIFICATION message in a case where we are not closing the session is not a good idea, but I am certain that others know more about these details than I do.)
