I don't understand "BCP." Information RFC yes. Something that can be use for requirements yes. But Best Common Practice? How is an operator's "I wish my equipment can do this in my network" become a BCP?
IESG - I think we are abusing the BCP system. It states: A BCP document is subject to the same basic set of procedures as standards track documents and thus is a vehicle by which the IETF community can define and ratify the community's best current thinking on a statement of principle or on what is believed to be the best way to perform some operations or IETF process function." Which means we should be going through the same lifecycle of document status as the standards track. What we are getting now is the equivelent of a straight to Internet Standard status. > -----Original Message----- > From: The IESG [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, June 11, 2007 1:34 PM > To: IETF-Announce > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Last Call: draft-ietf-opsec-filter-caps (Filtering > and Rate Limiting Capabilities for IP Network Infrastructure) to BCP > > The IESG has received a request from the Operational Security > Capabilities for IP Network Infrastructure WG (opsec) to > consider the following document: > > - 'Filtering and Rate Limiting Capabilities for IP Network > Infrastructure ' > <draft-ietf-opsec-filter-caps-08.txt> as a BCP > > The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and > solicits final comments on this action.
