I'm generally supportive of publication. I'm ambivalent about the status of the document. IMO, whatever lets the document advance past the IESG quibbling on the point. The core value of the document, in my opinion, is that it discusses an operational reality that isn't otherwise covered by the normative BGP protocol RFCs. Namely, that prepending is helpful for traffic engineering but that if you do too much of it, there are gotchas. And this is where I'd lend my support for this to the IESG come evaluation time. The fact that the document can be distilled down to a few key points and the rest is explainer text is just a side effect of how it's evolved. -- Jeff _______________________________________________ GROW mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
