Re: WG Last Call: a batch of draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv4survey-*01 documents
Hi,
Thanks for a *very* extensive review of the ops document. I'll try to
respond to your points somehow inline..
I've included all of your comments which may need addressing in the quote,
so that it's easier for the document editor to go through the spec.
Three generic comments:
1) (now) HISTORIC documents being included.
Unfortunately, the survey was executed in a non-optimal method, and
these historic statements still appear here, due to examining the RFC's in
the "vacuum". (The best way to do the analysis in the first place would
have been to skip those which have been obsoleted, made historic, etc.,
but we lack the time machine.. :-)
I'd like to go through this with a "minimum update" policy, and we state
that the document is historic in section 7.
Unless there is strong feeling that we should really throw away these
historic documents completely (implies that we should look at which
documents made them historic, replacement documents etc.), I'd keep them
here for now.
1.b) new RFC's since about RFC3200 (in most part, obsoleting or making
historic those that are still analyzed) have not been taken into
consideration.
The analysis was Phil's work, who has retired. We don't have resources
anymore to do more substantial work anymore, so we prefer to keep doing
minimum updates.
2) protocol/specification. I totally agree that we should refer the
RFC's by "specification" because that's generic enough to cover any RFC.
3) MIB acronyms like TRANS-MIB in:
3.9 RFC 3417 Transport Mappings for Version 2 of the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMPv2) (TRANS-MIB)
.. these do not appear in the original RFC's, but are invented by
RFC-editor for some RFC indexes. My opinion is that we should get rid of
these bogus abbreviations completely, but I would also be OK with it if
they're changed to be correct. Whatever works for you..

The problem here is that it would be difficult for *us* (read: those
non-experts in the subject matter) to decide what is relevant and what is
not. The analysis was already done by Phil, and we don't have resources
to extend it.
But I think we can address this situation in practical terms. Where
applicable, add notions about these documents in the "analysis", section
7, like:
7.3.18 Coexistence of SNMP v1, v2, & v3 (RFC 2576)
There are no real issues that can be resolved.
==> add a sentence like:
The document is obsoleted by RFC 3584.
(or something else, if RFC3584 addresses the concerns)
.. that way, we could have somekind of a "forward pointer" even to
informational/BCP documents which may be relevant.
Would this satisfy your concern? If so, could you submit some wording
that would be appropriate for these cases?

see the generic comment 1)
I'd like to go through this with a "minimum update" policy, and we state
that the document is historic in section 7.
Is that good enough?

We could add here a sentence like:
Note that RFC 1212 and RFC 1215, which have been omitted from analysis,
together with this specification define SMIv1. The same issues apply
to all of them.
would that be OK? Another piece of text?

sections..)

Seems reasonable, thanks.
(The reason why OID was misused was probably just because the
original author was not enough aware of the terminology.. which is why
we're bugging YOU about it :-)

Due to the way survey is done, I'd like to keep it as is (minimum
changes), we could add a sentence like:
Moreover, RFC 1643 has been superseded by other MIBs and reclassified
to HISTORIC.
If that's what you'd prefer?

It's PS, so I guess it should be included, with like:
3.6 RFC 2580 Conformance Statements for SMIv2
There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
.. if you agree that that is a true statement?

I don't think the editor should have moved RFC3416 etc. here in the first
place, but as it has already been done, I see no harm doing the same for
those five other RFCs either.

I do not know why those (TRANS-MIB)'s are there in the first place, but in
case there is a strong reason to keep them there, I vote for removing them
completely. What we want is that the title here is identical with the RFC
title.
My suggestion: remove all of (*-MIB) from the document. Would that be
good for you?

Ok, one can remove section 7.2.6 too then:
7.2.6 Frame Relay MIB (RFC 2115)
The problem has been fixed in RFC 2954, Definitions of Managed Objects

Yeah, I would hope Phil would have known that when he made his analysis
:-(
I think we should keep these here (for consistency), but if you prefer,
cut the unnecessary text out and just say something like:

There are multiple IPv4 dependencies in this specification.
