The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider
the following document:
- 'IANA Reserved IPv4 Prefix for Shared Transition Space'
<draft-weil-shared-transition-space-request-03.txt> as an Informational
RFC
I am a bit confused about the exact purpose of this last call and would
appreciate
some guidance by the IESG and/or IAB how to read this in context.
It appears the draft is meant to gauge consensus as per the communication
archived at
<http://www.iab.org/documents/correspondence-reports-documents/2011-2/response-to-arins-request-for-guidance-regarding-draft-policy-arin-2011-5/>.
However, all the content and discussion is essentially deferred to
draft-bdgks-arin-shared-transition-space-01.txt, which has a status of "I-D
Exists",
is not subject to this Last Call and is, to my surprise, an Informative
Reference
in the draft under consideration.
content/nits:
o draft-bdgks-arin-shared-transition-space-01.txt would have to be elevated
to a normative reference, with all consequences
o the document should have operational considerations as in RFC 1918,
regarding the leakage of addresses in IP headers and elsewhere (cf. "AS112")
o the document does not discuss the risk of the new address space being
absorbed as a simple addition to RFC1918 space
o the Security considerations are non existent, especially given the
long experience with actual and perceived threats connected to RFC 1918
address space
o the document would have to change its perspective to as if the address
range had already been assigned (no more "proposes" language).
o the document ought to expand used acronyms and add references to IETF
or other documents, e.g., for CGN, CPE, and other terms
o without any judgement re: the "B", this document should aim at BCP status
since it would have to give (more detailed) instructions what and what
not to do with the assigned/allocated address.
o RFC 2119 would have to be elevated to a normative reference
o add reference to RFC 6319
Quite frankly, without taking any position on the actual proposal, these
bullet items suggest the draft is not ready for publication.
