I find this I-D problematic. The subject matter is of crucial importance, comparable to, or perhaps more important than, IPv6, yet this I-D is not an easy read and there should be one such somewhere. sidr has produced an awesome collection of I-Ds (some now obsolete) but it is not obvious, short of spending a few months in the archives, how they fit together. Other major projects - snmp for example - produced an Introduction, acting as a starting point and a road map to the other I-Ds and I think that that should be a prerequisite for sidr. This I-D is not it (even if it could be); its Normative References include a further 80 pages of sidr I-Ds! One small example. The I-Ds have several references to RPKI and indeed, that appears in -arch; but it first appears on page 8 and is not even expanded, let alone explained. Of course you can turn to Wikipedia and you find a clear explanation of what RPKI is but you should not need Wikipedia to understand something as important as sidr. This I-D seems to be written to be understood by those who understand it:-( Tom Petch ----- Original Message ----- From: "The IESG" <iesg-secretary at ietf.org> To: "IETF-Announce" <ietf-announce at ietf.org> Cc: <sidr@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, February 07, 2011 5:14 PM Subject: [sidr] Last Call: <draft-ietf-sidr-arch-11.txt> (An Infrastructure to > > The IESG has received a request from the Secure Inter-Domain Routing WG > (sidr) to consider the following document: > - 'An Infrastructure to Support Secure Internet Routing' > <draft-ietf-sidr-arch-11.txt> as an Informational RFC > > The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits > final comments on this action.
