"Needed"? Probably not. Almost no Informational RFCs are "needed". The question is whether the WG considers it useful.

Thanx for the revised version.
While I would still have some editorial comments to make, I think you have done 
a good job of responding to the comments made.

The bigger question for me is whether the draft is needed at all.
I am still of the opinion that it is not needed.

Tom, please look at the latest revision and see if that helps.

Also note, this document does not assign the ifType. (I.e. it does not
"create an ifType".)  That is already done.

Joel -

I have had concerns from the beginning as to whether this draft is really
needed.
As I have commented previously, the only content of any significance is
Section 4 - and that only provides example settings of the management fields
for this interface type.
I question whether a draft is required for this purpose.
I will defer on this matter to folks more expert in this area than I, but, my
opinion is that a draft solely for this purpose is not required.

<tp>
Les has a point.  I see a relevant I-D and dive in and review it and do not
stop to think whether or not this work justifies an RFC.  Having reviewed it,
and having worked out what is new - as Les says, examples in Section 4 and
not much else  - I struggle to see a justification.

The other thought that this brought to mind is why create an ifType value
when the world has been getting on quite happily without it for 13 years?  Is
there anything that now needs a value which previously did not?  If so, that
might be more suitable for an I-D.

Tom Petch


I thought it polite to mention this before you spend the time and effort to
produce a new version.

Do Les' suggested edits address your concerns.
We will apply yor changes to the IANA considerations section.

I would go further than Les as I suggested on Tuesday.  Perhaps it is time

Tom, 5309 did not define the ifType.  Go read 5309.  You seem to have
gotten confused by the fact that the IANA entry given to 303 points to
5309.  That was done to have some reference (with the consent of the
experts).   What we are doing now is providing a better reference.  So
yes, this document defines how the ifType is defined.  With no criticism
of 5309, it does not define that, since it does not define the ifType.

<tp>
Stepping back a few e-mails,
I have read 5309 and did point out previously that there is no IANA
Considerations in that RFC.  What I have said and repeat here is that 5309
defines the p2pOverLan type.  That is what the RFC claims and that is what
it
does.  You seem to think that the definition of a type is incomplete
without a
numerical value assigned to it, the SMI ifType  or YANG identity.  The
concept
of the type exists whether or not a value has been assigned to it and this
is
one of the places where this I-D goes wrong..

I would say
Abstract
The p2pOverLan interface type is described in RFC5309.
Subsequently, this interface type has been assigned a value of 303 by
IANA, by Expert Review.
This memo ....

Well, what does it do?  Gives examples of its use?  I see nothing more.

Tom Petch

We are explicit in this draft that one of the obvious uses for this
ifType is to trigger 5309 behavior.

Yours,
Joel

Hi Med and All:
           Thanks for your helpful comments, I have updated a new version
01
to follow the comments;
           The main updating is:
           1. More clearly described the intend of this draft in the
introduction;
           2. Change the reference style;
           3. Refactor the reference section to make it more reasonable;
           4. I haven't change "IANA Consideration" at the moment given
there
is lots of discussion in this part and it is still up in the air, I will change 
this
section next update the document once this part is finalized;

<tp>
I still think that this is an unsatisfactory I-D and would oppose adoption
in
its present form,

It is a question of veracity.  It claims to do what others have already
done
and does so without reference, without acknowledgement.  Having the
same data defined in more than one place can only create confusion, in
future if not now.

This is a pattern and starts with the Abstract and continues throughout
the I-D.

Thus the Abstract claims 'this defines point-to-point interface type'.
No.
This type was defined in RFC5309 and you need to say that and to say
what if
anything you are changing in that definition.  You should not reproduce
text
from that RFC unless you have to and then you should make it clear you
are
quoting.

You do the same with Figure 1.  This is a copy, may be accurate may be
not, it does not matter, from RFC8343 with no mention thereof.  You
should
not be reproducing such text without a good reason and then you should
make it clear what is reproduced, from where and why.

And as I have said already, IANA Considerations is yet again claiming to
do
what has already happened which can only confuse.  All that is needed as
I
said in a separate note  is to ask IANA to update two references, nothing
more.

Tom Petch

           And I would like to share more background information for this
internet draft:
           As Joel mentioned, we requested and received an IF Type
assignment from IANA (with expert review) for point-to-point over
Ethernet
links several weeks ago and the p2pOverLan type is already added to
IANA
registry now;
           During the discussion around the assignment we noticed a doc
describing why that is needed and how to use that would be helpful;
           For example, if no entry saying p2pOverLan layer over ethernet,
the
management will suffer since lose the ability to get to the Ethernet-
specific
management properties (Ethernet MIB or YANG model) via many tools;
So
we propose this draft to define a complete p2pOverLan ifStack(Including
higher layer and lower layer);

This document (and the code point) are intended to be in line with
5309.
      I believe they are.  If we got it wrong, please help us fix it.

A reference would be reasonable to add.  (The IANA entry for the
code
point does reference 5309.)

Thank you,
Joel

Hi Joel,

At first I wondered where this document should reside and then
decided that LSR is probably as good as any other place.

Can you guys check whether it is mostly in line with
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5309/ and comment as to whether
it
should be referenced?

Thanks,

         Abstract:
             The point-to-point circuit type is one of the mainly used
circuit
             types in link state routing protocol.  It is important to
identify
             the correct circuit type when forming adjacencies,
flooding link
             state database packets, and monitor the link state.  This
document
             defines point-to-point interface type and relevant stack
tables to
             provide benefit for operation, maintenance and
statistics.
