The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Analysis of BGP, LDP, PCEP and MSDP Issues According to KARP Design Guide' (draft-ietf-karp-routing-tcp-analysis-07.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-karp-routing-tcp-analysis/ Technical Summary This document analyzes TCP based routing protocols, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) [RFC4271], Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) [RFC5036], Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) [RFC5440], and Multicast Source Distribution Protocol (MSDP) [RFC3618] according to guidelines set forth in section 4.2 of Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols Design Guidelines [RFC6518]. Working Group Summary The working group was happy with this document. Joe Touch expressed concerns about the descriptions of TCP-MD5 and TCP-AO. All the specific concerns he raised have been addressed, but his comments suggest that he may have additional unspecified concerns. Document Quality This document has been reviewed by the Working Group and by the chairs. It does a good job laying out both the common issues across the protocols it analyses, and the protocol specific issues. The level of detail is appropriate to the working group goals as laid out in the charter and the guidelines document. Personnel Joel Halpern is the document shepherd. Stewart Bryant is the responsible Area Director.
