Re: Last Call: draft-carlberg-trip-attribute-rp (TRIP Attribute for Resource Priority) to Proposed Standard

2007-07-10 11:58:02
Howdy,
        A couple of things about this specification confuse me, and
I'd appreciate enlightenment from the authors.  The first is that the
document spends a fair amount of time setting up the context in
which GETS or other services might use resource priority and how
this mechanism relates to the SIP resource-priority header.  In Section
4.2.3, though, the documents says:

An LS MAY add the ResourcePriority attribute when propagating routing
   objects   to   an  LS  in  another  domain.   The  inclusion  of  the
   ResourcePriority  attribute  is  a  matter  of  local  administrative
   policy.

Should the reader assume that this local administrative policy will follow one 
of the
policy approaches discussed in Section 2?  If so, should this be stated 
explicitly?  If
not, is the text in Section 2 appropriate?
        The second is that relatively sparseness of the Security Considerations,
which at the moment read:

   The document defines a new attribute for the TRIP protocol and has no
   direct  security considerations applied to it.  However, the security
   considerations for TRIP and its messages  remain  the  same  and  are
   articulated in Section 14 of [rfc3219].

Are there no security considerations for the removal of this header by LSes 
which fail
to honor the requirement that an LS "MUST  propagate the ResourcePriority 
attribute"?
Are there any specific considerations (security or reliability) that apply when 
the Partial
flag has been set by Location Server that does not recognize the attribute?
        Thanks for any insight,
                        regards,
                                Ted Hardie
