The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Procedures for Modifying RSVP ' <draft-kompella-rsvp-change-02.txt> as a BCP This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Allison Mankin. Technical Summary This document specifies procedures for modifying the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), with respect to RFC documentation of changes. The goal is to ensure that RSVP changes are coordinated technically. The document also includes an IANA Considerations section that lays out new assignment guidelines for number spaces for RSVP messages, object classes, class-types and sub-objects. It obsoletes pre-existing, incomplete IANA Considerations for RSVP. Working Group Summary The document was not the product of a Working Group. It was reviewed originally by the Transport Working Group (tsvwg), since RSVP was originally developed in the Transport Area. Last Call comments were requested specifically from the mpls, ccamp and nsis working groups, and were received from some participants, indicating support in most cases. One negative comment was received from a ccamp participant, expressing concern at the requirement for standards track RFC for object classes and class-types, stating this to be a problem for other standards bodies. Last Call comments were also requested specifically from a peer SDO body with a strong interest in RSVP extension, SG 15, question 14/15. Their response as well was to question the requirement for standards track documentation It is, however, the intent of this memo to cause major extensions of RSVP to have organization-based SMI prefixes, in which case no RFC is required, to have IETF standardization, or to have one of a very limited set of experimental assigned numbers. Protocol Quality The document was reviewed for the IESG by Allison Mankin. The IANA Considerations number ranges have been used to guide some assignments ahead of the approval of the document (in an advisory fashion), thus it can be said there has been some testing of the ranges. Thomas Narten conducted an extremely detailed additional review of this document. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
