The work on ICE is truly impressive and so are the numerous I-Ds
associated with ICE.

 

However, before sending the <ice-17> I-D for LC to the IESG, it would be
prudent and responsible to the industry (that spends considerable
resources on ICE in good faith) implementing ICE, to either (1) make it
an informational RFC or (2) publish some deployment data showing such
items as:

 

*       NAT scenarios that have been tested,
*       The % of success,
*       Performance, such as call setup delay using SIP.

 

I have not seen any such public data on ICE deployment, for example with
SIP. A private report has raised my concern about the performance of
ICE.

 

In the best IETF tradition, it would also help to have open source code
available for ICE, before declaring it a standard.

 

ICE is too important for the IETF (good work Jonathan and other
authors!) not to publish (1) deployment results and (2) publish open
source code as well.

The various nits discussed on the lists are only of secondary importance
to the LC compared to the above and would get resolved with such a
process anyway.

 

These are my personal two cents.
