主题: Re: [Pce] WG Last Call for IGP extension for PCEP security capability 
support in the PCE discovery - draft-ietf-lsr-pce-discovery-security-support-05

Hello All,

I have reviewed this draft and have the following comments for the authors to 
address and the WG to consider:

1)      Is there any precedent for the advertisement of auth keychain info 
(ID/name) in such a manner that is flooded across the IGP domain? When the 
actual keychain anyway needs to be configured on all PCCs what is really the 
value in their advertisement other than possibly exposure to attack? I hope the 
security directorate reviewer looks at this closely and we get some early 
feedback specifically on this aspect.
[Qiufang Ma] See Acee’s response, thanks Acee.

2)      In sec 3.2 and 3.3, new sub-TLVs are being introduced. Their ASCII art 
pictures represent the OSPF TLVs. The ISIS TLV structure is different. While 
this will be obvious to most in this WG, I would request this to be clarified – 
perhaps by introducing separate diagrams for both protocols or skipping the art 
altogether.
[Qiufang Ma] Good catch, I prefer to skip the art altogether.

3)      RFC5088 applies to both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. This is however not clear in 
the text of this document.
[Qiufang Ma] This draft is built on top of RFC 5088, therefore the extension 
defined in this draft is applied to both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. I understand your 
confusion in the IANA and will fix this in the IANA.

4)      Looks like RFC5088 asked for the PCE Capabilities Flags registry to be 
created as a top-level IANA OSPF registry - 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5088#section-7.2 – so it should have 
been placed here : 
https://www.iana.org/assignments/ospf-parameters/ospf-parameters.xhtml. What 
seems to have happened is that it got created under OSPFv2 which is wrong - 
https://www.iana.org/assignments/ospfv2-parameters/ospfv2-parameters.xml#ospfv2-parameters-14.
 Since this draft updates RFC5088, it is necessary for this document to fix 
this error. I would support Les in that perhaps all of this (i.e. everything 
under/related to PCED TLV) ought to be moved under the IANA Common IGP registry 
here : https://www.iana.org/assignments/igp-parameters/igp-parameters.xhtml
[Qiufang Ma] I tend to agree with you. but I am not sure how to move other 
existing created registry for Path Computation Element (PCE) Capability Flags 
available at
https://www.iana.org/assignments/ospfv2-parameters/ospfv2-parameters.xml#ospfv2-parameters-14
  to the new location you recommended.
https://www.iana.org/assignments/igp-parameters/igp-parameters.xhtml
I need to request the guidance from our chairs and AD for this.
5)      The document needs to be more specific and clear about which IANA 
registries to be used to avoid errors that have happened in the past (see (3) 
above).
[Qiufang Ma] Please see above.
6)      Appendix A, I believe what the authors intended here was that whether 
to use MD5 auth or not was part of discovery but static configuration on the 
PCE and PCC? The keychain introduced in this document can also be used along 
with MD5. Honestly, I don’t see a strong reason to not include MD5 in the 
signalling except that it is deprecated (even if widely deployed). This 
document would not conflict or contradict with RFC5440 if it did include a bit 
for MD5 support as well. As  follow-on, perhaps this document should also 
update RFC5440 – specifically for the security section? I see RFC8253 
introducing TLS that updates RFC5440 but nothing that introduces TCP-AO?. In 
any case, these are aspects for PCE WG so I will leave those to the experts 
there.
[Qiufang Ma] See Qin's reply to Acee. I hope your comment get addressed over 
there. My personally opinion is MD5 is weak and should be deprecated, thus it 
doesn't worth new protocol extension for TCP MD5 support.

Best Regards,
Qiufang Ma

Thanks,
Ketan
