Re: [Int-area] L2TP sequencing: Commonly disabled for IP data? Or always?

2021-06-08 Thread Andrew G. Malis
Bob, In addition to the cases listed by Derek, L2TPv3 can also carry non-IP pseudowire data, such as Ethernet frames (see RFC 4719 for example). Even though 4719 says that sequencing is optional, I would certainly recommend it :-). But I guess that's really not what you were asking about, since y

Yiu, Just FYI, this issue came up several years ago with regard to randomized MAC addresses in Ethernet frames contained in Ethernet pseudowires. Stewart and I wrote RFC 8469 to address the resulting effects that were encountered in the field. Cheers, Andy On Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 3:50 PM Lee, Y

Behcet, That was a historical list. The current assignments are in https://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers/protocol-numbers.xhtml . If you want to go garbage collecting, that's the place to start. Cheers, Andy On Fri, Sep 20, 2019 at 10:25 AM Behcet Sarikaya wrote: > > > On Thu, Sep

Re: [Int-area] Existing use of IP protocol 114 (any 0-hop protocol)

2019-09-19 Thread Andrew G. Malis
Erik, IP Protocol numbers are a scarce resource and the allocation policy is "IESG Approval or Standards Action". They aren't interested in the latter, so they would need the former. So if they can legitimately reuse 114, it makes everyone's life easier. Cheers, Andy On Thu, Sep 19, 2019 at 5:2

Alex and Brian, Any time you have a limited domain layer 2 network (such as a campus Ethernet, or more application-specific networks like Alex was mentioning), one thing that commonly occurs is that people want to use tunnels to interconnect such networks either over the Internet, or alternatively

Re: [Int-area] ARP IANA considerations

ARP certainly precedes any notion of defining rules for how to add code points. However, as a contributor to an RFC that extended ARP (Inverse ARP, RFC 1293), at that time we wrote a draft in the IPLPDN working group that defined the new code points, and it went through the usual standards track pr
