It looks like this draft does not define a "single" solution for CC, CV and RDI
function

(Proactive Connectivity Verification, Continuity Check and Remote Defect
indication for MPLS Transport Profile) to Proposed Standard
Dear all,
I regret to say I have the same concerns expressed by Rui and Erminio about
the procedure adopted for this document that has brought so many discussions.
Anyway, probably because of the lack of a reasonable time (in my opinion) for
discussions about the previous document version (-04) I have the following
comments on this version:
1. it is not clear the BFD's scope
Sect. 1: PW, LSP, SPME
Sect. 1: LSP
Sect 3: LSP
Sect 3.1:LSP, PW
Sect 3.3: PW, LSP, SPME, Section
Sect 3.7: LSP
2. encapsulation
Sect 1: supported encapsulation GAL/GACh, VCCV, UDP/IP: can be
expressed a preference (MUST/MAY) for Transport Profile applications for
interoperability issues? I would avoid single vendor networks coming from too
many options.
3. diagnostic code 5
Could you clarify what is the BFD state machine behavior
receiving/transmitting a Diagn Code=5
4. detection time
Sect 3.2: I expect it is that one defined in RFC5884 i.e. detect Mult
x greater (bfd.requiredminrxinterval, last received desired min tx interval).
What "interval" means is not clear
5. session periodicity
Sec 3.3 Should be clarified being not defined in RFC5880
6. detection of loss of continuity
Sect 3.3 can CV packet sent on the wire replace CC packet (for LOC
purpose on the far end)?
7. CV vs CC packets
Sect 3.6 Generally speaking, how should the received CV packet's
fields be managed with respect of the BFD state machine/BFD states? (beyond
what is specified in such paragraph limited to P/F and Sta).
8. encoding
Sect 3.5: could you clarify what " A BFD session will only use one
encoding of the Source ID TLV" means?
9. editorial
Source ID TLV, MEP source ID TLV, Source MEP TLV should be aligned
10. terminology
Wrt sect 3.6 I would ask a clarification about the terminology where
I found
a- "A BFD session corresponds to a CC and proactive CV OAM instance"
b- " A BFD session is enabled when the CC and proactive CV
functionality is enabled"
c- " When the CC and proactive CV functionality is disabled ..., the
BFD session transitions to the ADMIN DOWN State and the BFD session ends"
In the ADMIN DOWN state I understood I can have BFD control
packet exchange between the end points. Is it consistent with CC/CV
functionality disabled?
11. code points
Code points are not specified in section 3.1 as stated
12. BFD fixed rate
Sect 3.7 " This rate is a fixed value common for both directions of
MEG for the lifetime of the MEG". Is this statement implying that MEG must be
destroyed to be able to change the BFD rate? Should not be limited to the BFD
session lifetime (to be clarified what it means... because moving to ADMIN DOWN
state both ends could not be enough)
13. two BFD modes
Sect 3.7 " Two independent BFD sessions are used for independent
operation". In my opinion, this approach still remain a big limitation in BFD
usage.
Is it implementation specific the way the two ends distinguish
between the two BFD modes?
14. bfd.RemoteDiscr
Sect 3.7 " In coordinated mode, an implementation SHOULD NOT reset
bfd.RemoteDiscr until it is exiting the DOWN state"
Is it a deviation from BFD as specified in RFC 5880? If it is, could
you clarified the reason for that?
15. bfd.RemoteDiscr
Sect 3.7 Could you clarify the reasons behind different treatments
for bfd.RemoteDiscr in coordinated mode and independent mode?
16. overall operation
Sect 3.7 "Overall operation is as specified in [4] and augmented for
MPLS in[8]"
Are you sure that it can be generalized in that way? Should not be
the case to specify more in details what applies and what do not apply?
17. IP-based BFD
Sect 3.1 IP-based BFD can carry out CV functionality only if IP SA
is public
18. CV during transient states
Sect 3.2 for clarification: at start-up, CC are sent one per second.
CV are sent in addition to CC (so we have two BFD packets per second)?
19. misconnections
Sect 3.7.3 sect 3.7.3 states a misconnection bring BFD session to
DOWN whilst it is not clear if sect 3.7.5 state that misconnection do not
impact on BFD state transition
20. encapsulation modes
Sect 4: if I understood well, there are 4 encapusulations and modes
for BFD: UDP/IP/LSP; CC mode in G-ACh; UPD/IP in G-ACh e CC/CV mode in G-ACh.
Do all of them satisfy transport requirements?
I understand they are not interoperable (as well as the two BFD mode
for the same CC/CV in G-Ach encapsulation). Is it correct?
Best regards,
Alessandro

Oggetto: Re: [mpls] Last Call: <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-cc-cv-rdi-05.txt>
(Proactive Connectivity Verification, Continuity Check and Remote Defect
indication for MPLS Transport Profile) to Proposed Standard
All,
Since someone has commented about the process used for resolving questions on
draft-ietf-mpls-tp-cc-cv-rdi I am supplying some details below.
The history of draft-ietf-mpls-tp-cc-cv-rdi working group review process is:
On February 3rd 2011 the working group last call was issued on version -03
This was copied to the the Ad Hoc Team List
and liaised to SG15 also on February 3rd
This working group last call ended om Feb 28
On Feb 28 we also received a liaison with comments from SG15
The authors compiled a list of all comments received as part the MPLS
working group last call; these comments - and the intended resolution - is
included in the meeting minutes from the Prague meeting:
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/80/slides/mpls-9.pdf
During the IETF meeting in Prague, we agreed with the BFD working
group to do a separate working group last callfor the BFD working
group
The (BFD) working group last call was started on March 30th and ran for 13
days. The last call ended on April 11th.
The authors have since worked hard to resolve comments, some
issue has been brought to the working group mailing list for
resolution.
Version -04 of the document was published June 28th.
The publication request for draft-ietf-mpls-tp-cc-cv-rdi was sent
June 29th.
The AD review resulted in a "New ID needed" due to mostly editorial
comments. Version -05 was published on June 29 and the IETF last call
started as soon as the new ID was avaialbe.
The current list of Last Call Comments resoltion is also avaiable at:
http://www.pi.nu/~loa/cc-cv-rdi-Last-Call-Comments.xls
The list of issues that the authors kept very carefully, shows without
doubt
that no comments been ignored.

IMHO and for the record:
ITU-T comments regarding this draft haven't been discussed with ITU-T but
were simply ignored. No LS describing these comments' resolution was sent.
Several service providers regarded this draft as not meeting their
transport networks' needs.
[The v03 draft was published in Feb and went to WG LC.
The v04 draft addressing WG LC comments was published on the 28th June
(same date as the proto write-up).
When was the WG LC launched, to verify LC comments resolution?]

Subject: [mpls] Last Call:<draft-ietf-mpls-tp-cc-cv-rdi-05.txt>
(Proactive Connectivity Verification, Continuity Check and Remote
Defect indication for MPLS Transport Profile) to Proposed Standard
The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching
WG
(mpls) to consider the following document:
- 'Proactive Connectivity Verification, Continuity Check and Remote
Defect indication for MPLS Transport Profile'
<draft-ietf-mpls-tp-cc-cv-rdi-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2011-07-14. Exceptionally,
comments may
be sent to iesg(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org instead. In either case, please retain
the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
Abstract
Continuity Check, Proactive Connectivity Verification and Remote
Defect Indication functionalities are required for MPLS-TP OAM.
Continuity Check monitors the integrity of the continuity of the
label switched path for any loss of continuity defect. Connectivity
verification monitors the integrity of the routing of the label
switched path between sink and source for any connectivity issues.
Remote defect indication enables an End Point to report, to its
associated End Point, a fault or defect condition that it detects on
a pseudo wire, label switched path or Section.
This document specifies methods for proactive continuity check,
continuity verification, and remote defect indication for MPLS-TP
label switched paths, pseudo wires and Sections using Bidirectional
Forwarding Detection.
