Right now, you leave the DHCP server (when it's used) responsible for
clearing state in the MUD controller. Please discuss what happens when
those are distinct elements (as you have in the end of section 9.2) and
the DHCP server reboots. Perhaps it would make sense for the DHCP server
to hand the length of the lease it has granted to the MUD controller and
let the MUD controller clean up on its own?I would like to add a few words to the comprehensive review presented by Robert Sparks (I hope it is proper etiquette on this list to do so).With respect to the observation above:
There is also a cache timeout in the MUD profile. Does it make sense that the MUD controller should take the minimum of the DHCP lease time and the cache timeout and use that to time out the installed ACLs (?) The DHCP server should also pass to the MUD controller, some way of identifying the device to which the lease has been granted (for example the MAC address of the device).The draft also not specify how the DHCP server will communicate with the MUD controller (presumably via a simple REST interface but what is the URL to be used and how are the parameters passed?). I think this should be specified for interoperability between DHCP clients and MUD servers. Maybe words describing this interaction can be added here.
Sorry: I meant interoperability between DHCP servers and MUD controllers above.
Thanks,Ranga.
